Reviews
"Stunningly gorgeous and devastatingly romantic, you won't want to miss this one!"--Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods
"Seductive, lyrical, and rich with period detail, this daring retelling casts the Harkers' story aside to follow Dracula's medieval bride and her tangled romance with his consorts over the centuries. The horror--pulsing and beautiful--comes as much from Constanta's insights into her husband's psychology as it does from bloodlust. A dark triumph."--Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel
"A Dowry of Blood is a delectable jewel of a tale, shimmering with dark, beautiful prose. Gibson balances mournful gothic possession with heartfelt emotional authenticity for a thrilling ride from start to finish."--Tori Bovalino, author of Not Good for Maidens

"Dark, lush and heartrendingly romantic."

--Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge
"A powerful take of possession and liberation. This is a Dracula retelling unlike any other - undeniable and unforgettable."--Rose Szabo, author of What Big Teeth
"A dizzying nightmare of a romance that will leave you aching, angry and ultimately hopeful."--Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf
"Atmospheric and lush. . . it will haunt you in the best possible way."--Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart
"A thrilling and seductive Gothic rife with spine-tingling tension and dark romance. A Dowry of Blood left me breathless."--Alexis Henderson, author The Year of the Witching
"A Dowry of Blood is an intoxicating perfume that lingers - an undying love story where beauty and horror clasp hands." --Rachel Gillig, author of One Dark Window
"Perfect for readers interested in creative, gritty, and steamy horror retellings."--Library Journal
"Gibson's lush prose will transport readers to a sumptuous and provocative world that is openly queer and unabashedly sexual."--Booklist
"A lyrical Gothic ode to queerness, polyamory, and violence. Its complex depiction of abuse and survival is both thorny and moving, and like nothing else you'll read this fall."--Paste Magazine
"In the tradition of the best vampire stories, Gibson uses her characters to explore how centuries of time would affect a once-mortal mind. A Dowry of Blood whisks readers through human history, arriving at the dawn of the 20th century, drenched in blood."--BookPage
