Booktopia Comments

June 19, 1837. 18-year-old Princess Victoria assumes the crown. But keeping the Empire safe carries duties far darker and more dangerous than the new queen knows.

A diabolical enemy (no, not the French!) is unleashing all manner of hell-hounds, giant rats, vampires, werewolves and flesh-devouring zombies to make a bloody mess of London's cobblestone streets. Fortunately, the plucky Victoria has the armour-clad Maggie Brown, Demon Hunter and Royal Protektor, by her side, as well as her beloved suitor, Prince Albert, a quiet chap with a German accent and secret knowledge about their powerful foe.

Filled with fog, a coronation, corsets, armour, romance, political machinations, tea, sword fights, a frenemy or two, spilled brains, lots of mayhem, and hordes of undead, Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter gives the story of this legendary ruler and her devoted prince a hilarious, demonic twist.

Product Description

The novel takes you to the smoggy, cobbled streets of Victoria's vile and villainous Britain, but not as you know them ...

A layer of horror will be seamlessly woven in to comedic effect. You'll meet Queen Victoria not as the bitter old widow forever draped in black, but transformed into an ass-kicking killer of evil creatures.

It will be so scarily convincing that you'll be certain that in the dark days of Queen Victoria, it was more than just the pick-pockets you had to look out for.

Industry Reviews

'Moorat has draped his very funny tale of the marauding undead over a solid frame-work of historical detail ... As with the Austen adaptations, it is the women who are bold and quick-witted enough to take on the monsters, a nice reversal of the passive victim role traditionally handed to young women, in horror as in history.' -- Observer 'Moorat infuses his tale with enough bravura and over-the-top action to lift it above a horde of similar projects; readers able to stomach the deliriously bloody goings-on will find plenty to enjoy' Starred Review, 'Pick of the Week' -- Publishers Weekly
