Malumunus
Who is 'Malumunus'? Vampiric experts always claimed the name was linked to the author of the "Cain Letters," but is it something more? Is it a darker presence? A companion to Cain of the book of Genesis? A harbinger? A demon? Something deadlier than even the devilish vampire? I, Alexandra Glade, must learn the truth. Or else all the struggle, the fight, the holy war, the terror of the damned -- it would all be for nothing!

Malumunus by Pierre Roustan is a gripping plunge into the shadowy lore of vampiric mythos, weaving theology, horror, and mystery into a tightly-wound narrative that refuses to let go. As Alexandra Glade, a seasoned vampire hunter with a deep connection to the divine, searches for the truth behind the enigmatic figure known as Malumunus, the stakes feel both intimately personal and apocalyptically vast.
Roustan masterfully blurs the lines between biblical lore and supernatural terror. The idea that Malumunus could be something even darker than Cain, not just his companion, but possibly his corrupter is chilling. The book's pacing is relentless, pushing you through each revelation with a mix of dread and fascination. Every clue Alexandra uncovers adds weight to the looming sense of catastrophe, and her journey reads like a holy war wrapped in noir.
The character work is especially strong. Alexandra is complex: weary yet unwavering, righteous but haunted. Her drive to uncover the truth behind Malumunus feels urgent and authentic. Roustan doesn’t give us a typical vampire tale, this is something more esoteric, more spiritual, and far more terrifying.
By the end, I felt like I’d been through a war myself. Roustan doesn’t just tell a story, he immerses you in a mythology that feels ancient, forbidden, and all too real. If you're a fan of theological horror and intelligent vampire fiction, Malumunus is a must-read.

Malumunus by Pierre Roustan is an absolutely gripping dive into a world of ancient secrets, chilling mysteries, and relentless courage. From the very first page, I was hooked by the haunting question Who or what is Malumunus? Roustan masterfully builds suspense as Alexandra Glade steps into a terrifying truth that could shake the foundations of everything we think we know about darkness, demons, and the origins of vampires.
