Advance Praise for Lethal Lords and Ladies of the Night! Glory and accolades! “I mean it as the highest praise when I say that ‘Lethal Lords and Ladies of the Night: The Vampire Stories of Scott Harper’ is a highly atmospheric and seriously entertaining collection of Vampire (of all stripes) stories.” – Douglas Draa, Weirdbook editor.
“Absolutely beautiful stories!!! Characters are bold, beautiful…and at times sexy. You can’t help but be drawn into each story. The descriptions of the actions and feelings are deeply entertaining. The stories have that 1930s Universal Pictures style. A mini movie for sure!!! This is a book I would love to promote in my store to my ‘Vampire’ readers. Bram Stoker would be proud!!!” Bookstore Owner and Sinister Smile Street Team Reviewer Kevin Kuenkler
“I’m on the 3rd story and have been hooked on his writing style since the 1st story. Kinda has a Lovecraftian feel to it.” Sinister Smile Street Team Review

So gather your stakes and clutch your garlic tight as daylight draws to a close—and the vampires claim the night! These books contain over forty stories of vampire mayhem, with many unique to this collection.
Introduction by Kevin M Glover - It is an honor and a privilege to introduce readers to Scott Harper’s new two-volume collection of short stories. Over the past four years or so, I’ve had the very good fortune to work with Scott on a number of scripts for my various comic anthologies, and I’ve always been most impressed with the quality of his writing. We share similar inspirations and influences, and I find his work is a good fit for my personal tastes. He has a great knowledge of literary precedents and their counterparts in other media, and that background is ever-present in Scott’s new books.
From Amsterdam to Atlantis, the darkest jungles of Africa to an intriguing variation of strangers on the train, Scott Harper spans the globe with some intriguing and often sensual tales of vampires in all their many forms. There are some nice twists and turns and enough frights to send shivers through many a reader.
Enjoy this delicious serving of dark delights! I certainly did.
