Barbara Truelove

A science fiction horror novel that explores the real difference between being a monster and being human.


Demeter is a passenger ship-- one of the best-- who just wants to shuttle her humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri. She would be able to do that, except her passengers keep dying, and no one believes her when she says Dracula is the cause. To avoid being decommissioned and seek the revenge she so desperately wants, Demeter joins forces with a werewolf, an engineer built from the dead, a mummy, a vampire, and a fleet of spider drones to take down Dracula once and for all.
