P.G. Kassel's books

Black Shadow Moon - Stoker's Dark Secret, Book 1

Bram Stoker wanted fame. What he got was pure evil.

In late Victorian London, Bram Stoker is an unnoticed author who longs for celebrity and recognition. His ignored writings have left him anonymous. When Vlad Tepes, an eccentric European aristocrat, poses a dangerous proposition, the frustrated artist can't help but listen. In trade for a simple exchange of services, Tepes promises to give him the information he needs to write a book about the nature of evil that will shock the world. Hungry for a successful book, Stoker reluctantly agrees.

Sir Henry Irving, England's leading Shakespearean actor and Stoker's employer, begins to notice an unpredictable nature in his struggling friend. When Stoker's uncharacteristic behavior jeopardizes a deal between Irving and Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle, the creative masterminds begin to investigate the source of Stoker's preoccupation. What they find shakes them to the core: malevolent darkness, blood, and murder. The evidence begins to mount that they may be dealing with a real vampire.

The chase is on to save Stoker and his family. Failure could result in the loss of their lives… and their souls.

Black Shadow Moon is the first book in a series that asks the question, "What if Bram Stoker's Dracula was based on real events?" Author P.G. Kassel's dark supernatural thriller answers the question in a gothic horror novel that brings vampires back to their original evil: existing for no other purpose than to purvey pain, destruction, and death. Will Stoker fall prey to the beautiful side of evil that promises, seduces, and then eviscerates?

Black Hunters' Moon - Stoker's Dark Secret, Book 2

Bram Stoker lived to tell his tale. Now he faces a fate worse than death…

Author Bram Stoker thought he’d seen the last of the vampire Vlad Tepes. While his literary masterpiece Dracula is now nearly complete, the guilt of having put his friends and wife in danger follows him daily. The despair deepens when Stoker learns Tepes has bound himself to the author’s wife and claimed her for his own.

With vampire blood coursing through her veins, Stoker’s only option to keep her from becoming undead is to slay the beast. Once again, Stoker must enlist Henry Irving and Arthur Conan Doyle to destroy the fiend who inspired Dracula. What he doesn’t know is that they’re in for the fight of their lives… and souls.

Black Hunters' Moon is the second book in the Stoker's Dark Secret series, which puts a fresh horror twist on the events that inspired Bram Stoker’s immortal classic. If you like spine-tingling reads, heart-pounding action, and Victorian authors like you’ve never seen them before, then you’ll love P.G. Kassel’s dark paranormal thriller.
