A Guest Without a Shadow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243735698)

January 1894. The Carpathian Mountains. A snowstorm has just buried the only road out.

Seven strangers have been lured to the Iron Crown Hotel by the dying Count Vrolok for reasons they don't fully understand. When the Count is found dead the following morning, locked in his room, the guests realise they are trapped with a killer.

Each narrator sees a different piece of the truth. None of them sees enough.

Told entirely through private journals, letters, medical reports, and desperate telegrams: a locked-room mystery wrapped inside a vampire horror, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

The soldier suspects the nun. The doctor suspects the madman. The madman knows exactly what is happening, and no one will listen to him.

And the monster? The monster has been in plain sight since the first page.

Perfect for fans of: Gothic horror - Epistolary fiction - Victorian mysteries - Locked-room thrillers
