J. Cornelius is the award-winning author of Remembering Demons, and, Fighting Angels, books one and two of the dark fantasy trilogy, The God Cycle. The highly original premise of the series mixes fantasy, sci-fi, and horror in unpredictable ways.

This is the grandfather of vampire fiction and, somehow, it still works. More than that, actually, it thrives in ways I didn’t expect. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is atmospheric, clever, occasionally bizarre, and written with prose so sharp and evocative t ...more
