The city of Muggidrear is crawling with vampires! Mongagu Sylver, weasel detective, decides to go to the source of the problem - Slattland, across the sea. He is determined to stake the problem for once and for all! Followed by Welkin's police chief Falshed, now demoted to a plain-pelt detective, Monty and his companions run into all sorts of scrapes in this hilarious new adventure that follows on from the action in GASLIGHT GEEZERS but can be read totally separately as a stand-alone novel.
Thrilling and imaginative and reminiscent of Tolkien. A great read * Carousel *
First class, brisk-reading entertainment * Interzone *
The taste of today in its quips and puns * TES *
