The first book in a delightfully witty fantasy series in which Dr. Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, must defend London from both supernatural ailments and a bloodthirsty cult. Greta Helsing inherited her family's highly specialized and highly peculiar medical practice. In her consulting rooms, Dr. Helsing treats the undead for a host of ills: vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights, and entropy in mummies. Although she barely makes ends meet, this is just the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's been groomed for since childhood. Until a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead Londoners alike. As terror takes hold of the city, Greta must use her unusual skills to stop the cult if she hopes to save her practice and her life. Praise for the Dr. Greta Helsing Novels: "An exceptional and delightful debut, in the tradition of Good Omens and A Night in the Lonesome October."―Elizabeth Bear, Hugo-award winning author "Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of lovable misfit characters. These are not your mother's Dracula or demons."―Shelf Awareness Dr. Greta Helsing Novels Strange Practice Dreadful Company Grave Importance

The monster hunt is on! A rip-roaring graphic novel adventure about the latest in a famous family of vampire-hunting pigs, inspired by legendary monster slayer Van Helsing! Ham Helsing is the descendant of a long line of adventurers and monster hunters--who don't often live to rest on their laurels. Ham has always been the odd pig out, preferring to paint or write poetry instead of inventing dangerous (dumb) new ways to catch dangerous creatures. His brother Chad was the daredevil carrying on the family legacy of leaping before looking, but after his death, it's down to Ham. Reluctantly, he sets out on his first assignment, to hunt a vampire. But Ham soon learns that people aren't always what they seem and that you need a good team around you to help save your bacon!

What's worse than editing the stupidest supernatural romance novel ever written? Getting stuck inside of it. Karalynn Donnelly has somehow been transported into Eternal Passion at Sunset, a vampire love story filled with enough clich�s, anachronisms, and run-on sentences to drive any hardworking book editor insane. To make matters worse, Kara accidently prevents the story's hero and heroine from even meeting. Now Slade, the idiot Vampire King, thinks Kara's his destined mate and Melessa, his actual bride, has run off to join a Wild West show. If Kara's going to find her way home, she needs to get this story back on track. But, teaming up with the novel's bad guy might not be the best place to start. Damien, last of the Wizard-Warlocks, thinks Kara is the key to destroying his archenemy Slade. Snarky, charismatic, and unrepentantly villainous, Damien hates the Vampires and he's very interested in what Karalynn might know about all the changes happening in his world. Somehow, Kara has to reunite Slade and Melessa, dodge kidnapping Vampires, fight fire breathing dragons, and deal with her own growing feelings for a handsome bad guy who's starting to seem an awful lot like her knight in shining armor....
