Dreadful Company by Vivian Shaw
A witty, charming fantasy adventure in the world of Strange Practice, starring Dr. Greta Helsing, whose family has been keeping the supernatural community not-alive and well for generations. When Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, is unexpectedly called to Paris to present at a medical conference, she expects nothing more exciting than professional discourse on zombie reconstructive surgery and skin disease in bogeymen -- and hopefully at least one uneventful night at the Opera. Unfortunately for Greta, Paris happens to be infested with a coven of vampires -- and not the civilized kind. If she hopes to survive, Greta must navigate the darkest corners of the City of Lights, the maze of ancient catacombs and mine-tunnels underneath the streets, where there is more to find than simply dead men's bones.Vivian Shaw enjoys edged weapons and pricey ink, and she wears way too many earrings. She was born in Kenya and has lived in several cities, including Cardiff, Oxford, and Baltimore. She holds a bachelor's degree in art history and an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, and she currently works as a freelance editor and proofreader. She writes about creatures, both real and imagined, machines (both real and fantasy), calamities and their causes, and found family. Weird Practice, Awful Company, and Grave Significance are the three books in the Doctor Greta Helsing contemporary fantasy trilogy. Uncanny and Pseudopod have published her short stories and horror tales.
