Bit of kitsch fun with some naughty bits thrown in, it is erotica after all. It was $0.99cents so I grabbed it while cruising Amazon. Homage to Dracula which is one of my favourite books. The different names for cock had me laughing, which reminds me, my husband and I fell in love over a Wang... computer :) :)

I am partially responsible for this, as I drew the cover and was a beta reader for it. (It is a lovely cover btw! Absolutely stunning really.)
In all honestly, I have been wracking my brain trying to decide if it is ethical for me to review this book! I decided today that it is okay if I do because I didn't write it, just draw that super amazing cover. I mean, really, that is nice! I have not been asked to review it, I decided to on my own.
Obscure niche erotica is a completely new field for Justin and I think he did an admirable job bursting into the genre and just making a big ol' mess everywhere. It is all tightly packed behind that pretty little cover. (uplifting as it is!)
Justin's books are geared towards someone who really likes old school monster movies (and wang, lots of wang). So if you really like cheesy old horror movies (and wang) I will recommend this book to you. If you like nice cover art that has vampires and shirtless guys on it, I will also recommend this book.
Also, did I mention that the cover is great?! Really. I mean, look at it!
5/5 stars for the cover! 100%! Would cover again! What? Review the book as well? I can't the cover... so... pretty! Can't look away. :D
(I am so sorry Justin. I just couldn't stop myself. The cover jokes just wouldn't stop!)

Quite amusing, though I can’t abide the garlic slander. I wish it was a tad longer, I wanted to see a bit more Renfield and a lot more tentacles (though they were nicely utilized, unlike Renfield)

This was a fun, bite-sized novella that can be read in a sitting or certainly in one day. The plot is very loosely based on the most well known part of the Dracula story. Characterisation and background is developed sufficiently well to make the individuals likeable. Obviously as a novella there is a clear lack of depth and the story does rely on those echoes with the more traditional rendering. That said, there are some interesting ideas explored with a clear sense of humour throughout.
The interactions between the characters, particularly the sex is light-hearted and explicit. There is a tendency to fall in and out of character that can be a little confusing and inconsistent, but not enough to spoil the read.
This is an easy read that is largely well written and fun. As such it holds the attention.
As with many novellas of this sort, there is a somewhat abrupt ending leaving a sense of disappointment. The story is open-ended though and there is clearly an opportunity for sequels.

I will keep this short and sweet. This was like reading a gay erotica parody of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' (obviously) but if it was mashed up with Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein'. There is some seriously steamy sex here but also some highly quotable (laugh out loud) entries. If you're looking for gay erotica that doesn't take itself too seriously and will be as hilarious as it is arousing, this is the book for you. My friend and I are now constantly saying: "Woodcock, you asshole!" to each other. I guess you'll have to read the book to find out why...

I knew when I read the title of this little novella it was going to be a humorous mess! It was so cheesy, I was cracking up laughing through the whole thing. So if you want something goofy, cheesy and full of sex then this is for you.
Jonathan Woodcock (the name lol. I know) was on his way from England to the Transylvanian mountains and to the castle of Count Shagula for business. Before he gets there he stops at a local inn, where he is warned not to continue because he will become a slave of the Count. A slave of sex. He is also asked that if he does choose go there, to help free the slaves that are already there. So Jonathan agrees. From the time he gets there the Count is doing his best to seduce him and get him to bed, but Jonathan is shy and nervous. Of course he cannot resist the Count. But there is a twist. Does he free the slaves? Read and find out!
Jonathan, bless his heart, is naive and shy and very horny. Seems like every turn he takes he almost gets himself off but something happens and he's stuck. Until he gets to the castle. The Count puts him through the wringer eventually. Blow jobs, menages and tentacles oh my! However he's there to do a job and he does his best to try and conduct his business. But the Count derails that. So he realizes what he must do. He has to be brave and resist (yeah right lol) all the sex and do what he was asked to do.
What a little story! So cheesy. I cannot get past that. I knew it would be a sex thing but it was just so goofy lol. The good thing is we all need a laugh with sex sometimes. Happy reading.
