Set in Victorian England, the reader is lead on a supernatural hunt to stop a madman called the Black Bishop. His goal is to make the whole world his slave. Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde are recruited to this mission, but must find a way to work together.
I am torn between liking it and disliking it. I appreciated the style of writing as it was reminiscent to Bram Stoker's Dracula. The journal entries, correspondences, and memos gave the novel the personal touches that make Dracula a classic. My only issue was that there were so many different characters and s many different correspondences that I found it "cluttered". This style gave the novel a slow pace because of the different perspectives, and a couple of times I had to reread who the narrative was.
The plot was a typical evil versus good. However, this is more of a darker plot with monsters being the ones to "save the world." There was the villain proclaiming that what he was doing was for the "greater good," and how he would "rule the world and save it from sin." That small cliché also bothered me as I was hoping for more. I had a thought as to who the villain was, because of the general cliché, and sadly I was a bit right.
Overall I rated this 3 out of 5 stars. The thought of an another book has my interest but I'm just not sure if it is something I would jump at right away. If Hopstaken and Prusi write another novel similar to this, then I guess it would depend upon the characters they use. There are plenty of historical figures that I would enjoy reading on.
