In this witty and charming novella Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, investigates the mysterious appearance of a newly turned child vampire.
Relaxing at her partner’s ancestral estate, work is the last thing on Dr. Greta Helsing’s mind. But before she’s had the chance to kick up her feet, a wight appears on their doorstep carrying a newly turned child. Turning a young adult is a grave transgression; to do it to an eleven-year-old is nearly unheard of. Who could possibly commit such a sin, and why would they abandon her?
Dr. Helsing and her vampiric friends will travel across the United Kingdom and to Hell and back to find the answer.
Vivian Shaw wears way too many earrings and likes edged weapons and expensive ink. She was born in Kenya and has lived in Cardiff, Oxford, and Baltimore. She has a BA in art history, an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, and currently works as a professional freelance editor and proofreader. She writes about monsters, both in and out of classic horror literature; machines, extant and fantastical; disasters and their causes; and found family. She is the author of the Dr. Greta Helsing contemporary fantasy trilogy, Strange Practice, Dreadful Company, and Grave Importance. Her short fiction/horror fiction has appeared in Uncanny and Pseudopod.

Reviews
Praise for the Dr. Greta Helsing series:"An excellent adventure."—Fran Wilde, award-winning author of Updraft
"Strange Practice is written with elegance, wit, and compassion. The prose is gorgeous, the wit is mordant, and the ideas are provocative. Also, there are ghouls."—Laura Amy Schlitz, Newbery Medal winner
"An exceptional and delightful debut, in the tradition of Good Omens and A Night in the Lonesome October."—Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award winning author
"Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of lovable misfit characters. These are not your mother's Dracula or demons ... Strange Practice is a super(natural) read." —Shelf Awareness
"An appropriately dark breath of fresh air." —Booklist "Catrin Walker-Booth's performance brings Dr. Greta Helsing to life in this charming novella--part of a series but it can also stand alone. Walker-Booth's skill with pitch, tone, and accents brings each of the characters to life."—Audiofile Earphones Award Winner Expand reviews
