Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw

Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw

In this delightfully witty fantasy adventure, Dr. Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, must defend London from both supernatural ailments and a bloodthirsty cult.

Greta Helsing inherited her family's highly specialized and highly peculiar medical practice. In her consulting rooms, Dr. Helsing treats the undead for a host of ills -- vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights, and entropy in mummies. Although she barely makes ends meet, this is just the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's been groomed for since childhood.

Until a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead Londoners alike. As terror takes hold of the city, Greta must use her unusual skills to stop the cult if she hopes to save her practice, and her life.

Strange Practice is the first novel in Shaw's debut series, the Dr. Greta Helsing Novels -- perfect for fans of Neverwhere and V. E. Schwab.

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.
