What awaits Brandy in... The Devil's Bed?
Brandy Petracus, touring a ruined castle in the south of France, is led to the unhallowed graveyard of Templar knights executed for practicing Black Magic. Long forgotten by the world, this ancient cemetery is known to the locals as – the Devil's Bed and its occupants do not rest in peace.
In this fast-paced clash of Good vs Evil, Brandy soon finds herself the ad hoc leader of an eclectic group besieged by resurrected Templar knights - craving their blood. Vampirism, madness, dark humor, and flashbacks to 14th century Paris tell Brandy's very human story of commitment, trust and sacrifice.
These aren't your daddy's zombies! They are an all new form of undead creature; former monks and Crusaders to whom symbolism is everything. They wear crosses but cannot abide a crucifix. They can enter a chapel but not its sanctuary. They chant Latin curses while chasing their victims, pray to evil while killing them, and drink their blood in a corruption of the sacraments.
Before the appearance of these resurrected horrors, Brandy is feeling trapped by life. Her best friend, Vicki, is horribly murdered (with three others) near the Templars' graveyard. Angry and overwhelmed by guilt, she finds little comfort in her emotionally detached fiance (Vicki's brother). She fights to come to grips with her loss, her failing relationship, and the local authorities suspicions she is involved in the murders. Then Brandy's nightmare really begins. The Templars, keeping a seven centuries old covenant, rise from their graves to avenge their executions. Brandy and company are forced to hole up in an ancient chapel and fight for survival.
Even then, the Devil's Bed has yet to surrender all of its secrets.

There is nothing I like better than to sit down with a good horror story and let a writer try to scare me. I think horror is one of the more difficult genres to get right. It’s difficult to find an author who not only knows how to build tension to keep the reader hooked, but also sense when relief is needed from all the blood and gore so we don’t become desensitized. With that said, Doug Lamoreux’s The Devil’s Bed presented interesting characters, who were all shown as real people with both strengths and weaknesses. It was easy to suspend disbelief and imagine myself in their midst, sharing in their fear.
The story begins with college student Brandy and her best friend Vicki taking a tour of a castle in France. Bored, Vicki allows herself to be led away from the group by one of the local boys. He ends up assaulting her on unhallowed ground by the graves of 14th Century Templar Knights who had been burned for witchcraft. When Brandy and the rest of the people on the tour can’t find Vicki, they are forced to leave without her. The boy who assaulted her is among those on the bus, but remains silent about what he’s done. When Vicki is knocked out, she hits her head on one of the crypts and her blood leaks inside where it is absorbed into the skeletal remains of the Templar Knight inside. Awakened from his long sleep, he rises and then uses Vicki’s blood to raise the others. They are all thirsty for blood and immediately begin their search for new victims.
Brandy finds herself the leader of locals (including a priest) from a nearby town as they struggle to find a way to defeat the bloodthirsty Knights. They must band together if they want any hope of putting them back in their graves, permanently the second time. There are several great areas in the story that work to add depth, such as the demonized horses that rise with the Knights so they can ride again in search of victims. I loved it. An exciting, fun read for all those like me who crave a good scare. I know I’ll be watching for more novels in the near future by Doug Lemoreux.

Horror at its finest… mixed with humor.
Brandy takes a vacation to France with her fiancé, Ray, and her best friend/soon-to-be sister-in-law, Vicki, to finish her project on burial practices. It inevitably takes them to tombs of the Templar Knights. Terrible things happen at the graves of the knights, and then all hell (literally) breaks loose. Yet, through it all, the characters seem to keep a morbid sense of humor.
The mummified Templars are resurrected with help of their personal idol, Satan, and with it they bring forth a new kind of horror. They reanimate the dead as vampires, building an army of undead minions. Stop! I know what you are thinking, and you are wrong. These vampires have a thirst for human blood, and the human soul.
My creeptacular meter was dinging on high this time. What a great and creepy story filled with blood, guts, holy water, fire, and ceiling crawling undead. I have to give the writer props on the Evil Dead-like chase through the church that had me laughing out loud.

Doug Lamoreux’s novel, The Devil’s Bed, is a bloody, spooky mix of horror and the historical. Mixing together a high octane brew of legend, Crusader history, black magic and vampirism, Lamoreux spins a rewarding tale of action and creepy thrills.
Touring an ancient castle in France, two American women learn of a dark chapter in the history of the Templar knights, heroes of the crusades. Buried outside of the church on unhallowed ground lie the tombs of a heretical sect of the Templar knights, burned at the stake for witchcraft. One of the young American women is assaulted by a local thug and when her blood trickles down into the sarcophagus of a long dead knight, it awakens an ancient evil that plunges the American tourists, the local police force and a priest into a night of hell.
Lamoreux’s prose sings when describes these undead knights rising from their tombs and attacking the hapless heroes. His keen attention to detail, specifically the period armour and weapons, the castle and its surroundings, bring this tale to shimmering life. You can almost hear the clang of the swords or the thud of the mailed fists.
Spliced between the fantastic visuals of mummified knights tearing across the landscape on undead mounts or resurrected victim scuttling up a wall are some nice moments of humour. Between the bickering American couple questioning their relationship and their clash with French culture and the frustrations of a minor crime boss dealing with his cronies, the comic relief plays well against the horror and action of the main plot.
There’s a lot to like here, and Lamoreux keeps his foot on the pedal as the action ramps up to a blazing, nigh apocalyptic climax. Keep your eye on this author, I think he’s going places.

I actually enjoyed this book but I am not generally a fan of Vampire novels. The book was engaging and I found it to be an interesting read. I would definitely read more from this author.

Brandy, and her fiancé Ray and future sister-in-law/BFF Vicki, are touring Europe so Brandy can finish her Master’s thesis titled: `Burial Practices Around the World and What They Mean to Life'. The story starts with Brandy and Vicky taking a tour of Castle Freedom at Paradis, France where the Knight’s Templar’s were supposedly burned at the stake for worshipping the Devil. While they were being burned, they cursed the people condemning them with the promise of resurrection and revenge. Bored with the tour, blonde, beautiful Vicki leaves the group with a handsome stranger. He leads her to the cemetery where the remains of the unholy Knight Templars are interred. He attacks her and leaves her for dead. Now the action really starts.
It took me awhile to get into Doug Lamoreux’s writing style, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. He has a very unique way with words and a true wordsmith. His characters are well developed and I came to think of Ray and Brandy as friends. There are so many characters you will identify with. And like all good horror stories, you hope the character you’re attached to, doesn’t end up as one of the victims. But, there are a lot or victims in this well plotted story.
Ray and Brandy’s strained relationship turns into a partnership as they strive to survive the onslaught of undead. I loved Ray, this big, tattooed biker dude, screaming like a girl as a disembodied hand goes skittering across the floor. And then small, petite Brandy, carrying her bag o’ plenty saving the day. I really loved these characters and wouldn’t mind seeing them again in another story as Brandy finishes up her thesis. I’[m sure there’s lots of places Brandy can research where trouble is just around the corner.
But even amongst all the death and carnage, there’s dark humor that will have you laughing out loud. If you love dark, gory, funny horror tales, this one is for you. I give it 5 feathers. Well done.

The description reminded me of Hammer Horror films, which I adore, and the film "Tombs of the Blind Dead" which has an almost identical basic plotline.
The book itself is quite decent horror with moments of comic relief. The author knows his Catholicism inside-out. Bravo. But....but....
Doug Lamoreux, if you don't know a language, don't use it! As a French speaker, reading the "French" in this was downright painful, and the Latin was worse! That took the book from a four to a three. Really. Ouch.

There was a lot that appealed to me in the irreverent description of this book's plot -- creepy undead Templars, being trapped in a medieval castle overnight with a group of mismatched strangers, the unique contradictory concept of vampiric chaplains who wear crosses and chant in Latin but can't abide the crucifix and holy water, and a nerdy female lead. I mean, what's not to like? I was so excited when I set out, and I knew this book was going to be pretty unserious. I was looking for a fun horror romp!
I'm conflicted on whether my medieval academic background held me back from enjoying the book or made me enjoy it more. The persecution of the Templars actually coincides with the exact time period and area I study, so I know a lot about it, though I personally never really cared for the Templars. I imagined that this book was going to poke some fun at them; they're known for doing some pretty silly things and a lot of heinous war crimes. And I did fall in love with the spooky image of skeletal knights with flashing red eyes charging at people atop their zombified horses.
I was a little disappointed that, rather than criticizing the Templar Order (and the Crusades) en masse, Lamoreux decided to go the lazier and less controversial route by having his Templar vampires be a very specific small group of Templars who actually worshipped Satan and did the Dark Arts and whatever. The history Lamoreux gives (through his information-dumping priest Father Trevelyan) on the persecution of the Templar knights as heretics in the 14th century is actually pretty accurate, so no problems there. And when I thought about it on my own time, I think for sure a number of Templars probably did engage in some pretty shady-looking rituals from an orthodox standpoint. (I mean, consider other fraternal "orders" like the Freemasons or your local college fraternity -- people in groups they consider "special" do some weird sh*t and call them traditions.) But I very staunchly believe that, even if they were up to some weird nonsense, they were still Christians and would call themselves as such. And they were absolutely still Crusaders plundering the Holy Land, Egypt, and the Middle East. So it's a problem for me that And don't get me started on the fact that these Crusaders, literally wearing crosses can still be defeated by the power of Christ. THEY'RE CHRISTIAN!!! THEY ARE LITERALLY CATHOLIC!! THEY WERE BAPTIZED!!! Omg.
What I'm trying to say in short is the concept is cool but the execution was lacklustre. I thought Lamoreux would play more with it but he didn't. By the end the Templars could literally have been exchanged with faceless zombies and very little would change. This is a trend throughout the book, sadly. Many of the characters had potential but there were too many of them to flesh any of them out properly -- even our supposed protagonist Brandy, who was really fun initially; I thought she would do much more considering she studies death rituals and such. Relationship dynamics have cute potential but aren't given enough pages to feel really earned at the end.
And -- I know this matters to no one but I really need to shout this out into the void somewhere -- authors, please stop relying on Google Translate for writing other languages. Please, please, please just throw a couple nickels at a grad student or native speaker to at least look over what you have and make the necessary changes. Latin is often so poorly used in fiction, I've seen it a thousand times -- however, this is hands down the worst attempt at using Latin I've ever seen. I hesitate to even call it an attempt, actually. There were times when Lamoreux just used English words in the (French!) Templars' Latin chants. Wouldn't even Google Translate manage to do this much? It's extra egregious to me here because there is literally a vampire chaplain who would know his Latin chants by heart, and it is so easy to find Satanic chants to rip off online, or bastardize from the Vulgate. Literally any other method would have been less immersion-breaking than the "Latin" in this. But even worse was the fact that the French was also terrible! Come on, man, I get Latin is a bit of a stretch, but you almost certainly know someone who at least studied French in high school. Your last name is literally Lamoreux. Sir!!!
You know how we've started (wisely) pushing more and more for authors to commission sensitivity readers? I'm going to start doing this for language translators. Honestly, the pittance you can pay a Classics or Medieval Studies grad student to handle the Latin translation for you will be worth it, man. This applies to whatever genre you write -- but especially if its hearkening back to a specific period.
Anyways. TLDR: Many fun concepts, lacklustre and occasionally baffling execution.

Solid, but
I had a little trouble getting into this book, it started a little rough. Then it really picked up and held my interest really well. I was a little annoyed that the Templars chanting was left in French. I speak passable German and some Spanish but never got around to French. There was to much in this book that wasn't translated to not be irritating. That was a bad editorial decision, not the author's. Still, it pissed me off. The nature of the Templars who came back were fascinating and I would have loved if the flashbacks had been more developed, but they were excellent nonetheless.
My overall impression of this story was that it was a solid work but did not live up to what was a really inventive idea.

It's been a looooooooooooong time since I read horror. A long, long time. Return from the dead evil Crusaders, vampires, lots of blood - folks, there is a LOT of blood and gore in this book. And American Tourists. In France, of ALL places. Yes, American Tourists in France, touring old castles with older graveyards.... that have Evil Crusaders return from the dead.
It wasn't awful, it wasn't great. I'm kinda remembering why I've not read horror in over 30 years.
