An Amazon Editors' Pick in Science Fiction & Fantasy

Spaceships aren’t programmed to seek revenge—but for Dracula, Demeter will make an exception.

Demeter just wants to do her job: shuttling humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, her passengers keep dying—and not from equipment failures, as her AI medical system, Steward, would have her believe. These are paranormal murders, and they began when one nasty, ancient vampire decided to board Demeter and kill all her humans.

To keep from getting decommissioned, Demeter must join forces with her own team of monsters: A werewolf. An engineer built from the dead. A pharaoh with otherworldly powers. A vampire with a grudge. A fleet of cheerful spider drones. Together, this motley crew will face down the ultimate evil—Dracula.

The queer love child of pulp horror and ?classic ?sci-fi, Of Monsters and ?Mainframes ?is a dazzling, heartfelt odyssey that probes what it means to be one of society’s monsters—and explores the many types of friendship that make us human.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This heartfelt sci-fi monster mash-up of an audiobook is stunningly narrated by an excellent ensemble. Charlie Albers voices DEMETER, a spaceship…The rest of the cast voice the AI medical system, a werewolf, a human hybrid created by Frankenstein, a pharaoh, and humans….This is a laugh-out-loud audiobook full of thrills and a touch of romance…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Truelove’s wild combination of pulp horror and classic sci-fi takes the best of both and makes something incredible out of ‘The Captain’s Log’ chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” Library Journal (starred review)
“Truelove packs in the drama and thrill of near misses, close encounters, and even a couple slow-burning love stories. Meanwhile, Truelove’s obvious expertise in tech and coding comes through in the voice of her utterly believable AI narrator. The result is pure entertainment.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
