Darkly intoxicating and told through luscious prose, A Dowry of Blood by S.T Gibson reimagines Dracula from the perspective of his one of his brides: Constanta. It’s written as her final love letter to him, recounting the time they first met up to the events ultimately leading to her freedom.
Over the course of centuries, the story follow a polyamorous vampire coven's blood-soaked bonds and family melodrama as they live under the shackles of their tyrannical sire. It’s a pensive look at all the hedonism and delights of immortality as well as all the loneliness, ennui, and yearning that comes along with it
Now, this book doesn’t reinvent vampire lore by any means, and it doesn’t need to either. It pays homage to classical vampires in the vein of Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, and Sheridan Le Fanu—certain to delight lovers of the gothic and macabre.
Thank you, NetGalley and Nyx Publishing, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
