Ebenezer Scrooge has never been known for the greatness of his heart. A miser, a leech, a penny-pinching old coot. . . Say what you will about him, though—he's never actually sucked someone's blood. That dubious honor belongs to the vampires who surround him, preying on the weak and laying traps for the strong. They've dogged his footsteps since he was born, driving him from the love of his friends, family, and faithful fiancée. Now, on Christmas Eve, Scrooge's old friend Jacob Marley rises from the grave to warn him about the evil gathering around him. With three mysterious spirits to guide him, he rediscovers his lost love Belle, toiling fearlessly as a seamstress by day and vampire hunter by night. He sees the secrets of his nephew Fred and his clerk Bob Cratchit, who risk their lives as Belle's loyal soldiers. And he learns of the plot mounting to attack all of them, starting with the innocent sacrifice of Bob's son Tiny Tim. . . Scrooge has only one night to save himself and all that he once treasured—but if he can vanquish the vampires, he might finally earn back the love he cast away. . .
*** A Christmas Carol but not the one we know *** Until she discovers a rare first edition of A Christmas Carol in an ancient Glastonbury bookshop, Cassandra Hevans is almost sure she's put her peculiar childhood behind her. But this Christmas Carol isn't the one everyone should remember, and the book keeps on changing. Mystified, Cassie returns to the bookshop, only to find herself transported into another world, one all too horribly like the Carol she's reading. Could it be real, or is her childhood illness returning? Who is Naomi, the young woman who guesses far too much? Why is Cassandra's real world changing too? And why can't her best friends sense it? Cassie needs to find the answers soon, because time is running out for the Carol and for the real, unwritten world, and unless she can heal them both they will be darkly twisted forever.

Hours later, Delbeth finds herself in a strange house, in a strange woods, in a strange country, facing a plot more sinister than neither she nor Galian ever imagined.

This book begins at the intersection of Dracula and War of the Worlds, both published in 1897 London, and describes the settings of Transylvania, Mars, and London as worlds linked by the body of the vampire. It explores the "vampire from another world" in all its various forms, as a manifestation of not just our anxieties around alien others, but also our alien selves. Unsurprisingly, many of the tropes these novels generated and particularly the themes they have in common have been used and adapted by vampire narratives that followed. From Nosferatu to Alien, Interstellar, Stranger Things, and many others, this book examines how these narratives have evolved since the end of the nineteenth century. Bringing together texts and films from across the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, from the far reaches of outer space and the distant future, it concludes that the unexpected and the unknown are not always to be feared, and that humanity does have the power to write its own future.
