The Route of Ice & Salt

The Route of Ice & Salt by Jose Luis Zarate Herrera, 194 pages

The captain of the Demeter has taken on a simple, if strange, commission: to carry several boxes of soil from Varna to Whitby. However, as the ship makes the journey, strange forces arise, inspiring the captain to dream of a long-lost lover and his men to begin dying. This twist on the doomed voyage of Count Dracula's home soil is atmospheric and haunting, and full of the sensual language that has become so common in vampire lore. However, it's important to read Dracula first, otherwise you'll be adrift at sea.
