RELUCTANT IMMORTALS

From three-time Bram Stoker award-winning author Gwendolyn Kiste comes a novel inspired by the untold stories of forgotten women in classic literature.

Lucy Westnera, a victim of Stoker's Dracula, and Bertha Mason, Mr. Rochester's attic-bound wife in Brontë's Jane Eyre, band together to combat the toxic men bent on destroying their lives, set against the backdrop of San Francisco in 1967, adding a modern take on classic gothic literature.

An historical horror novel that looks at two classic toxic men, Dracula and Mr. Rochester, and two of the women who survived them Bee (re Bertha) and Lucy, who are now undead immortals residing in San Francisco in 1967 when Dracula and Rochester return.

A combination of historical gothic fiction with a modern perspective.
