The Stress of Her Regard

Genre: Alternate History; Gothic Horror

Publisher: Corvus Books

When Michael Crawford inadvertently attracts a vampiric Nephilim for a life-mate, it gruesomely murders his bride in their wedding-bed. Crawford fleas, befriending Keats and other Romantics, Shelley and Byron, whose own viciously jealous Nephilim are at once the source of their creativity and of their isolation. Gory violence, a strongly realised 19^th century Europe, and cleverly integrated gothic mythology too.
