BLOODLINES
A Novel of the Digital Night
Inspired by the gothic tradition of Bram Stoker
What if Dracula had Instagram?
Told entirely through emails, text threads, voice memos, Reddit posts, TikTok captions, Yelp reviews, and police reports, Bloodlines drags the gothic horror classic into the present — and proves the monster has never been more dangerous than when he's perfectly online.
It starts innocently: a remote real estate consultant flies to Transylvania to close a deal with a mysterious client, Count Aldric Vordas. He doesn't come back when he's supposed to. Meanwhile, back home, his girlfriend's best friend starts receiving "wellness products" from a gorgeous Instagram stranger — and stops sleeping at night.
As a hematologist with thirty years of experience begins noticing the same anomalous symptoms across multiple patients, a small group of friends — a nurse, a med student, a doctor, and one very frightened survivor — race to understand what's really behind the Count's real estate empire, his five-star Yelp reviews, and the matte black packages arriving at apartment doors across two continents.
Equal parts terrifying and darkly funny, Bloodlines is a fresh, found-footage take on the vampire mythos — modern dread delivered one screenshot at a time.
For fans of epistolary horror, social-media-era thrillers, and anyone who's ever wondered what Dracula's DMs would look like.
