In 1897 London, Archibald Constable and Co. published Dracula by the Irish author Bram Stoker. The book portrayed vampires in an unsympathetic light, to say the least. Fearing pogroms, British vampires packed their bags and fled to America, landing at the sweaty buzzing beehive of Ellis Island. In 1924 Chicago, vampires gather at the Vamp-Art Café in Towertown and share stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e St Sukie De La Croix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1734146443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734146448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rattling Good Yarns Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.33d","brand":"St Sukie De La Croix","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485983879423,"sku":"9781734146448","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4611f6ae-08a9-4e6b-b2ab-6ed5b98a1245.jpg?v=1778052893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-orange-spong-and-storytelling-st-sukie-de-la-croix-9781734146448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
