Bookseller recommendation
“I love this series. I read Strange Practice when it was first released. And I have read the whole series multiple times. Great character development and the alternative history is excellently executed. ”
— Jeri • Rainy Day Books
"Vivian Shaw knocks it out of the park yet again. If you aren’t reading Dr. Greta Helsing, you’re missing out." —T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author of What Moves the Dead
"Deeply compassionate and endlessly surprising, this series will steal your heart." —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief
In this witty conclusion to a delightful fantasy series finds Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, facing the latest and strangest challenge of her career...accompanying an anxious angel and a sullen demon on a road trip across America.
After narrowly avoiding the end of the world, the leaders of Heaven and Hell are struggling to collaborate according to the terms of their new treaty—especially because angels and demons are, quite literally, allergic to each other. Seeking a solution, the powers that be decide to see if the allergy persists on Earth by sending an angel and demon on a research trip, first stop: New York City. And what better chaperone than Dr. Greta Helsing, who happens to owe Hell a few favors of her own?
But there’s unrest in New York’s monster underworld and Greta and her team are about to land in the middle of it. Something is off in Heaven and on Earth, and Greta will have to figure out just what that is if she hopes to protect those she loves most.
Vivian Shaw wears too many earrings and likes edged weapons and expensive ink, and, as an expat Brit born in Kenya, is not actually from anywhere. She has a BA in art history, an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, and makes jewelry on the side. She writes about monsters, both in and out of classic horror literature; medicine, in its many forms; machines, extant and fantastical; disasters and their causes; and, perhaps most importantly, found family. She is the author of the Dr. Greta Helsing contemporary fantasy series and the sci-fi/horror novella The Helios Syndrome (Lethe Press). She reviews for the Washington Post and her short sci-fi/horror fiction has appeared in Uncanny, Pseudopod, and The Deadlands. She lives in Santa Fe with her wife, the Hugo-Award-winning author Arkady Martine.
Reviews
“Strange New World is a purely delightful return to Helsing’s story. You don’t expect a book this tense and gripping to also be funny and kind. Vivian Shaw knocks it out of the park yet again. If you aren’t reading Dr. Greta Von Helsing, you’re missing out. I loved it.”—T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author of What Moves the Dead "Deeply compassionate and endlessly surprising, Strange New World is another pitch-perfect addition to the world of Dr. Greta Helsing. This series will steal your heart." —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief "This witty novel is perfect for fans of Good Omens, complete with an ironic, fun take on demons, angels, and everything in between. A charming series that will likely please fans but that isn't too difficult to dive into as a new reader." —Booklist Praise for the Dr. Greta Helsing Novels"There are as few heroines as well written and compelling as Greta Helsing." ―BookPage
"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
“A playfully witty confection . . . framing London’s supernatural residents as delightfully normative while still capably evoking the frisson of the uncanny.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A book to settle into. A warm quilt of a thing that's made for curling up with." ―NPR"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." ―Shelf Awareness
