All They Want to Do is Write Books and Spend Some Time With Their Brides, but They're Hunting Undead Again. A Review of Land of the Dead.




 Bad guys are reanimating corpses and bringing back people who shouldn't have gone around once in life, much less twice. Yet, here they are building an army of strong but not-too-bright bodies and it's up to intrepid vampire hunters, Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde (and company) to visit the dead lands and stop this vile plan.

Very few vampires this time, but having a myriad of talents, the authors go on the hunt in the land most of us will never come back from. Back on regular Earth, a host of historic figures help them on their venture. Plus, Stoker and Wilde's wives are good paranormal busters themselves so if you like strong women characters, there's several in these pages.

I've enjoyed all three of the Stoker's Wilde books and this one is set up where it looks like sequels are coming. I missed that they didn't get the words "Stoker's Wilde" in the title like they had in the last two books. I suggest they summon the spirit of a writer of vampire books in the 20th Century and call it, "Stoker's Wilde Rice."

Thanks to Netgalley and Flame Tree Press for allowing me to read and review an eARC of Land of the Dead.
