Wilde Stoker's book - Flame Tree Publishing

"Historical details and supernatural monsters abound, but it is the strange duo of Wilde and Stoker, with their diametrically opposed personalities and intriguing quirks, that drives this story. Share this volume with readers who crave more historical tales within supernatural frameworks." - Booklist

Longlisted for The Guardian's Not the Booker Prize 2019.

Many years before either of them becomes a literary legend, Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde must overcome mutual disdain to battle the Black Bishop, a mysterious madman wielding supernatural powers, in order to bend the British Empire to his will. With the help of a European vampire expert, an energetic actress, and an American businessman, our heroes fight werewolves, vampires, and Victorian moral constraints. Their battle takes them through the dark forests of Ireland, the world of high society theaters in London, and Stonehenge, where Bram and Oscar must stop a vampire cult from opening the gates of hell.
