Now Lucy and Bee must travel to San Francisco to confront both of the men who made them immortal but forgotten victims and perhaps reclaim their rightful place among the remembered. The two manage well enough until the day that Jane Eyre turns up on their doorstep and inadvertently sets Dracula free. Lucy literally fights every day to keep Dracula from returning and Bee lives in dread that Rochester will find her.
Both women have spent the past one hundred plus years running from the men/monsters who doomed them. Rochester, forced to live and die in the attic in Jane Eyre as they navigate the relatively modern world as immortals. It follows Lucy Westenra, Bram Stoker’s almost-forgotten victim, and Bertha (Bee) Mason, the first wife of Mr. Reluctant Immortals is a Gothic-inspired story set in Hollywood and Haight Ashbury during the summer of love in 1967. What can I say about this book? I wish I’d written it? My imagination doesn’t stretch that far the mix of characters and time period was amazing and something I doubt I ever would have come up with.
