Dracula Transformed & Other Bloodthirsty Tales Kindle Edition
Dracula Transformed & Other Bloodthirsty Tales features eleven vampire stories by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Mark McLaughlin and Bram Stoker Award finalist Michael McCarty. In these stories, they have unearthed many of the secrets of the bloodthirsty dead.
In the novella Dracula Transformed, Dracula is brought back from beyond the grave in a manner that gives him startling new powers. Using these powers, he begins a bloody campaign of vengeance. In Lucy Transformed, you will learn of the relationship between Dracula and his daughter Zaleska, as well as his growing fondness for Lucy Westenra -- a fondness that will seal Lucy's doom. Even more vampiric horror awaits you in the remaining nine tales.

What other authors have said about Mark McLaughlin’s work:
"In the most devious manner, McLaughlin's stories achieve a high degree of demonism by perpetuating a sinister 'humor' at the gallows of the human comedy."
– Thomas Ligotti, author of GRIMSCRIBE
"Absolutely fabulous ... McLaughlin is HOT! If your palette is jaded, come to the feast that is Mark McLaughlin ... massive helpings of grisly horror, black humour and surreal splendour. Hugely satisfying, but I guarantee you’ll beg for more."
– Simon Clark, author of NIGHT OF THE TRIFFIDS
"Mark McLaughlin ... deftly mixes grisly horror with outlandish humor ... It is this bizarre voice that has earned McLaughlin an underground legion of hardcore, devoted fans."
– Brian Keene, author of THE RISING
"Gruesome, funny and touching. Top that: anybody..."
– Matthew Nadelhaft, TANGENT
"However outlandish the territory, he knows exactly where he is going...."
– Joel Lane, THE ZONE Magazine
