Edred, The Vampyre
T2081678496
Edred is a thousand-year-old bisexual Anglo-Saxon vampire, who slept with Shakespeare but never bit him. Breaking all of Bram Stoker's vampire laws, Edred loves garlic and crucifixes, and resides in a village church where he is one day confronted by two vampire-hunting gap year students, who help him to explore a millennium of world history. Yet the surface action belies the true realities of the situation. As Pinner says: ?Things are rarely what they seem', and here nothing is. Combining ironic humour with mystery, suspense and insidious menace,
Edred, The Vampyre is by turns startling, haunting, and revelatory.
