Multiple award winner Charles L. Grant has written a vampire novel set in the author's distressing little town of Oxrun Station. It is a region to be found on the same maps as Lovecraft's Arkham and King's Castle Rock.

The Soft Whisper of the Dead is the first of the Oxrun tales to be placed in other than a contemporary setting. The first in a trilogy of historical horror novels, it is the account of the evil Count Braslov's attempt to subjugate the Oxrun population to his vampiric will.

This first novel of a fast-paced trilogy is fraught with gas-light atmosphere, plucky women, a befuddled constabulary and is filled with the excitement of the classic vampire tale. Great fun!

As the title of the review says, I expected a bit worse but it's much better than what you'd expect.

It's (unsurprisingly) about vampires. pretty standard stuff, but not bad even if it's not new. The theme is wild west, vampires want power (which only serves as a background).

Won't win any prizes, but was better than what I expected...
