FANG FICTION

Kate Stayman-London

A Novel

What if the sexy villain of your favorite book needs your help and he happens to be a vampire?

Tess Rosenbloom is used to living in the dark. She's a trauma survivor and chronic insomniac, the night manager of a chic Brooklyn hotel who spends her free time reading Blood Feud, a massively popular book series about two warring clans of vampires. Tess even dabbles in online conspiracies theorizing that the world of Blood Feud is real - it's fun to hunt for clues! But Tess doesn't believe vampires actually exist ... that is until one walks through her door, desperate for her help and needs Tess to go to the secret, dark island - the world of Blood Feud. Visiting the fantasy world of your favorite story is any fan's dream, but will Tess be able to outrun the demons of her past and the vampires of her present before perishing? Tess will find out whether it's worth risking her neck - and her heart - for a chance to reclaim her future. Kate Stayman-London is a novelist, screenwriter, and political strategist.

Stayman-London builds a cleverly designed world through interstitials, fascinating side characters, and well-written friendships. The romance here is about learning to trust and be vulnerable and the book is all the stronger for it. A love letter to fandom, friendship, and freedom through allowing oneself to be seen fully. Equally recommended for fantasy and romance readers.

FANG FICTION isn't just a totally delicious, escapist romp for vampire romance fans -- it's also a delicate and thoughtful exploration of the power of fandoms, friendships, and survival. Brimming with sparkling banter, high fashion, pop culture references, and simmering sexiness, it'll sweep you off your feet and make you wish the Blood Feud books -- and the vampires in them -- were real.

Stayman-London turns vampire tropes on their head to address consent and healing in this sharp-witted fantasy romance. Romance readers who've been involved in fantasy fandom will be especially swept away.

FANG FICTION is the first book I've ever read that asks the brave question we've all wondered about (or at least, that I'VE wondered about). Which is: what would happen if the fictional characters you've obsessed over for years in secret and in online fandoms were real? The answer, it turns out, is a delightful romp that's as much a story of self-empowerment as it is sweet and hilarious. Oh - and also, there are a lot of sexy vampires. This book is cracky in the best possible way and full of delirious surprises. I loved every word!

A thoroughly delightful, entirely unpredictable supernatural romp. Kate Stayman-London has put a fresh twist on vampires and the power of fandom, and readers will be rooting for our heroine, Tess, from page one. Perfect for those who love their romance with a side of danger, adventure, and yes, vampires. FANG FICTION is a bloody good time.

Propulsive, hilarious, and unique, this is Kate Stayman-London at her best. She once again masterfully explores the allure of fandom, but this time, it's with a dash of vampires. Fang Fiction is a witty, big-hearted tribute to those of us with one foot in the real world and the other drenched in a fantasy universe. And maybe some blood too.
