Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde unite once more to battle spirits and demons invading our world. Third book in the series. Grimdark Magazine called the first book an "addictive, clever and extremely fun horror adventure."
Steven Hopstaken was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he spent his formative years watching and reading science fiction and horror. He spends his free time traveling; writing screenplays, short stories and novels; and practicing photography.
Melissa Prusi was born and raised in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. She’s been a video editor, a
semi-professional film reviewer, a three-time champion on the quiz
show Jeopardy!, and a Guinness world record holder (1990 edition,
for directing the longest live television show).
They met in a college screenwriting class and married three years later. They spent a brief time in Los Angeles, where they both worked for Warner Bros. television, and sold two screenplays. They eventually ended up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where they love the arts scene but dread the winters.
They’ve indulged their fascination with Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde through trips to Dublin and London to research their lives and visit sites mentioned in Stoker’s Wilde.
They live in St. Louis Park, Minnesota with their two cats. If
they’re not writing, you can usually find them at a movie, local
theater production, improv show or pub
quiz.
Praise for STOKER'S WILDE and STOKER'S WILDE WEST:
"Suggest to fans of paranormal alternative history featuring
well-drawn characters and strong world building, such as Molly
Tanzer’s Creatures series, Robert McCammon’s I Travel by Night
series, or The Hunger by Alma Katsu." — Booklist
"Hopstaken and Prusi have done their homework and produced a
pleasing period penny dreadful." — Publishers Weekly's review of
Stoker's Wilde
"Historical details and supernatural monsters abound, but it is the
odd couple of Wilde and Stoker, with their diametrically opposed
personalities and interesting quirks, that drives this story. Pass
this volume on to readers who are hungry for more historical
stories with a supernatural frame." — Booklist's review of Stoker's
Wilde
“A fun throwback to classic horror, playing off of Bram Stoker’s
Dracula and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, this tale
stars fictionalized versions of both Stoker and Wilde, brought
together through circumstance to hunt the undead throughout England
[...] This husband-and-wife writing team offer a solid choice for
fans of vampire lore and atmospheric, historical horror.” — Library
Journal's review of Stoker's Wilde
“A piece of work that is more original and creative than any novel
I have read in years.” — High Fever Books' review of Stoker's
Wilde
"Stoker's Wilde is immensely entertaining and engrossing...this
novel was an utter delight." — The Haunted Reading Room's review of
Stoker's Wilde
"This is a must-read for Horror lovers.” —Terror Tree's review of
Stoker's Wilde
"Stoker’s Wilde West is, quite simply, an addictive, clever and
extremely fun horror adventure. — Grimdark Magazine
"Fast, furious, funny, action-packed, gory, fast-talking with a
hint of fantasy and science fiction thrown into the mix. What’s not
to like in another winner from Flame Tree Press, an imprint to look
out for, and If the little teaser at the end is anything to go by
we might have more adventures to come? Let’s hope so." —
