Crystal Lake Publishing is pleased to
announce the release of Bloodbound: Quincey Morris and the Hunt
for Dracula by Anthony Lee Head. Head is the award-winning
author of Driftwood: Stories from the Margarita Road, named one
of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of the Year and recipient of the
Independent Book Publishers Association’s Benjamin Franklin
Award for Best First Book. Head lives in Northern California with
his wife, Cheri, and several rescue animals.
Head’s latest novel, Bloodbound: Quincey Morris and the Hunt for
Dracula, reimagines Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale through the
eyes of its American hero, Quincey Morris, blending gothic horror,
adventure, mythology, and tragic romance.
A descendant of both African slaves and Celtic Warriors, Quincey
Morris was marked at birth as belonging to both the world of men
and the realm of spirits. Raised on the brutal Texas frontier and
trained in the ancient ways of magic by his Apache shaman
godmother, he is the heir of many bloodlines. Now he travels the
world with a Colt “Peacemaker” on his hip and a fated Bowie knife
on his belt, destined to hunt the nameless evils that dwell in the dark.
When Quincey’s path takes him to Victorian London, he is asked to
join a desperate hunt for the greatest evil he has ever known: Count
Dracula. Though his aristocratic companions may view his mixed
heritage as a weakness, only Quincey possesses the spiritual sight to
see the vampire for what he truly is—not just a beast, but a
formidable conqueror who has survived for centuries.
Amidst doubt and danger, Quincey finds an unexpected soulmate in
Mina Harker, a woman of fierce intelligence and a spirit that refuses
to be tamed. Though she is married, they are soon bound by a love
that defies the rules of Victorian society. When Dracula attacks
Mina, Quincey must lead the vampire hunters through Europe in a
race against time to save the love of his life from eternal night.
From the sun-scorched Texas plains to the snow-covered
Transylvanian Alps, Bloodbound is the untold story of Quincey
Morris, the true hero of the world’s greatest horror legend.
Bloodbound: Quincey Morris and the Hunt for Dracula
is available in paperback (978-1-968532-85-7).
