"Historical
details
and
supernatural
monsters
abound,
but
it

Stoker,
with
their
diametrically
opposed
personalities
and
interesting
quirks,
that
drives
this
story.
Pass
this
volume
on
to
readers
who
are
hungry
for
more
historical
stories
with
a
supernatural
frame."

Notă biografică
Steven
Hopstaken was
born
in
Grand
Rapids,
Michigan,
where
he
spent
his
formative
years
watching
and
reading
science
fiction
and
horror.
He
has
a
degree
in
journalism
from
Northern
Michigan
University
and
spends
his
free
time
traveling;
writing
screenplays,
short
stories
and
novels;
and
practicing
photography.
Melissa
Prusi was
born
and
raised
in
the
Upper
Peninsula
of
Michigan
(often
mistaken
for
Canada),
and
studied
video
and
film
production
at
Northern
Michigan
University
and
the
University
of
Michigan.
She’s
been
a
video
editor,
a
semi-professional
film
reviewer,
a
three-time
champion
on
the
quiz
show
Jeopardy!,
and
a
Guinness
world
record
holder
(1990
edition,
for
directing
the
longest
live
television
show).
They
met
in
a
college
screenwriting
class
and
married
three
years
later.
They
spent
a
brief
time
in
Los
Angeles,
where
they
both
worked
for
Warner
Bros.
television.
They
eventually
ended
up
in
Minneapolis,
Minnesota,
where
they
love
the
arts
scene
but
dread
the
winters.
While
they
both
currently
make
a
living
as
website
content
managers,
they
have
sold
two
screenplays,
which
have
been
lost
to
development
hell.
They've
indulged
their
fascination
with
Bram
Stoker
and
Oscar
Wilde
through
trips
to
Dublin
and
London
to
research
their
lives
and
visit
sites
mentioned
in Stoker's
Wilde.
They
live
in
St.
Louis
Park,
Minnesota
with
their
two
cats.
If
they’re
not
writing,
you
can
usually
find
them
at
a
movie,
local
theater
production,
improv
show
or
pub
quiz.
This
is
their
first
novel.

Recenzii
"Hopstaken
and
Prusi
have
done
their
homework
and
produced
a
pleasing
period
penny
dreadful."
"Stoker's Wilde is immensely entertaining and engrossing...this novel was an utter delight."
"Stoker's Wilde is a brilliant book, its clear the authors really know their subject matter."
"Historical details and supernatural monsters abound, but it is the odd couple of Wilde and Stoker, with their diametrically opposed personalities and interesting quirks, that drives this story. Pass this volume on to readers who are hungry for more historical stories with a supernatural frame."
“A fun throwback to classic horror, playing off of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, this tale stars fictionalized versions of both Stoker and Wilde, brought together through circumstance to hunt the undead throughout England [...] This husband-and-wife writing team offer a solid choice for fans of vampire lore and atmospheric, historical horror.”
“A piece of work that is more original and creative than any novel I have read in years.”
“I absolutely loved it, it's thrilling, exciting and funny as hell-it's a rollercoaster ride through Victorian values, secret societies and deep, dark secrets…there is nothing that I did not love about it! Roll on book 2!”
“This story provides horror, adventure and humour throughout, the need to protect the human race against the evil plans that threaten them.”
