About
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.
