It's finally coming. This Friday! I'm a huge fan of vampires and Dracula, of course. I was super excited when this one came across my desk during last year's open subs, and even more excited when the slush team started freaking out about how great it was. Don't skip this one!
It's book launch day! Travis Daniels has survived a cult, a wilderness, and his own unraveling sense of reality. What if there's no getting out of this one? Order Now: getbook.at/Carcosa Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...
