We all know the story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula . But what if the famous vampire wasn't a monster at all? What if he was the victim of a massive Victorian conspiracy? That is the chilling premise of You Were Our Monster (The Interion) by Solin Rask. Set in 1897, the book pulls back the curtain on a terrifying alliance between the church, the press, and the aristocracy. To save their own failing empires and shore up a doubting public's faith, these powerful men manufactured a monster. They took gentle, ancient creatures bound by a vow never to harm a living thing, dressed them up as nightmares, and unleashed them to terrify an empire.

It is a stunning, thought-provoking reimagining that completely flips traditional vampire lore on its head. If you are ready for a brilliant, dark historical mystery, check out You Were Our Mons...
