Dracula & Daughters

About this book

It’s been 20 years since Temstown has had a vampire. Chewing garlic furiously, Mina is on a mission to dig up a body for medical research. When she finds the body gone – and seemingly having busted out of the grave – it looks like their luck has run out. 

Suddenly, Mina and Bella, a girl she’s met in the graveyard, are on the run from the Watchmen and trying to hunt down a vampire. But there are also family secrets to uncover, and a dear friend to save. Everyone’s panicking and getting their vampire tins ready. 

Can Mina, Bella and Mina’s sister Buffy find a way to heal vampires instead of culling them? They only have a few days and a friend’s life is at stake... 

This deliciously gothic adventure is the first in a new series from the Queen of Historical Fiction, Emma Carroll. Any reader who knows vampire tropes will find it both familiar and made afresh, as the three girls turn the traditional fear and pursuit of vampires on its head. 

Although this vampire is definitely scary, the story’s focus is on how the girls pool their talents to think and behave differently from others in their town. Spooky, thrilling, and immensely readable.
