A Multitude of Dreams is a Gothic slowburn of haunted woods, crumbling mansions, and creatures of the night…
The story is a retelling of Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death” but with vampires! I love Poe’s works so I was happy to read a book based on his short story. Plague narratives in general intrigue me. I like to analyze survival tactics and become familiar with the human instinct to survive and protect others. These aspects are only heightened when you add vampires and secret identities under threat of being revealed any moment. This is the situation in which we find our protagonists Seraphina and Nico.
They must form an alliance or risk the entirety of Eldridge Hall being overrun by the bloodsucking forces outside its walls. I enjoyed the dual point-of-view and at times found Nico’s more intriguing than Seraphina’s.
I respect the author’s choice of putting her culture and religious beliefs into a fantasy world. It fit quite well.
With September just around the corner, this story is perfect for spooky season!
