Description
Reluctant Immortals is a historical horror novel inspired by the untold stories of forgotten women in classic literature — from Lucy Westenra, a victim of Stoker’s Dracula, to Bertha Mason of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Set against the backdrop of the Summer of Love in 1967, Lucy and Bertha are undead immortals residing in Los Angeles when Dracula and Mr. Rochester make a shocking return in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury.
Combining elements of historical and gothic fiction with a modern perspective, in a tale of love, betrayal, and coercion, Reluctant Immortals is the lyrical and harrowing journey of two women from classic literature as they bravely claim their own destiny in a man’s world.
For fans of Mexican Gothic.
