In
Evans's sparkling debut, mythic “Others” from English folklore
must band together to protect their homeland during WWII. When country
doctor Alice Doyle encounters a mysterious stranger injured in the
woods, his quick recovery and disappearance leave her puzzled. Then
a farmer is found dead and drained of blood, trouble brews at a secret
munitions plant, and conscientious objector Peter Watson begins making
eyes at Alice. Gerhardt Eiche, a Nazi vampire with sabotage and conquest
on his mind, hides among villagers and refugees, many of whom—including
Alice and Peter—are not quite what they seem. Treating childhood
stories of fairy folk as historical records, Evans presents convincing
characters in an intriguing story that will have readers eager to
dive into Bloody Awful and Bloody Right, due later this summer. "
