The Dead Travel Fast

A Vampire Slaying Novel (The Immortal Dracula Series, Book 1)

By: Scott Cook

Narrated by: Robin W. Bloodworth

The line between a hero and a villain is often thinner than we imagine….

Vlad 3 Dracula, prince of Wallachia and defender of Christendom. Count Dracula, who inspired one of the greatest horror tales in history…are both alive in the same extraordinary man…a man whose past holds the key to defeating a new and bloody evil....

Veronica Belle, an average young woman with aspirations of becoming a horror writer, has chosen the pastoral seaside town of Potter’s Neck to inspire her…and yet things just don’t seem to be going anywhere. But that’s about to change.

When Vince Drake—a young, handsome, charming, and successful world-famous vampire author—strolls into Veronica’s life, her hopes for excitement quickly begin to spiral into a terrifying waking nightmare.

A bloody vandalism, a grisly ritual murder, and a growing string of sicknesses and disappearances begins to pull back the veil on an impossible growing horror. Monsters are real, and they thirst for an ancient mystery that promises ultimate power. An inevitable clash between the stalkers of the night and courageous but unlikely slayers...and it all hinges on an unlikely ally who will challenge everything you and Veronica Belle believe about vampires...including the most famous of them all!

Potter’s Neck lies at a critical bend in the river of time… and that river surges crimson in this new twist on an enduring legend!

Fun story!

This was a very easy listen. The story is well written and easy to follow. The narrator did a wonderful job. It’s nice to revisit lore and the author did a very nice job putting a new spin on things.

Twist on an old tale.

As a huge fan of Scott Cool it comes as no surprise that he has another great series! Definitely worth a listen!

All the greats with a twist.

Like visiting with old friends, all the great vampire stories are here (from Transylvania to Salem’s Lot). But the story is fun and fresh with a twist of perspective and a different interpretation on the stories. I liked the female character but the bad A military side might have been better fleshed out. A little less of the men find me so pretty and I don’t know it stuff. Looking forward to the next story. The reader does a great job.

interesting

interesting take on a classic subject, was a bit leary at first but it was captivating

The twist.

No spoilers, but the twist at the end is rather interesting and is rather surprising.
