That dubious honor belongs to the vampires who surround him, preying on the weak and laying traps for the strong. They've dogged his footsteps since he was born, driving him from the love of his friends, family, and faithful fiancée.
Now, on Christmas Eve, Scrooge's old friend Jacob Marley rises from the grave to warn him about the evil gathering around him. With three mysterious spirits to guide him, he rediscovers his lost love Belle, toiling fearlessly as a seamstress by day and vampire hunter by night. He sees the secrets of his nephew Fred and his clerk Bob Cratchit, who risk their lives as Belle's loyal soldiers. And he learns of the plot mounting to attack all of them, starting with the innocent sacrifice of Bob's son Tiny Tim. . .
Scrooge has only one night to save himself and all that he once treasured—but if he can vanquish the vampires, he might finally earn back the love he cast away. . .

There are scant surprises and fewer delights in Gray’s vampiric take on Dickens’s classic Christmas tale. Ebenezer Scrooge, oblivious to the horrors of Victorian poverty, is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Marley, who reveals that all of the hardship in Scrooge’s life has been caused by vampires, determined to thwart Scrooge from fulfilling a prophecy. The expected three spirits appear in their appointed rounds, illustrating in detail what the future will hold if Scrooge does not break free of their control. Former love Belle, nephew Fred, and loyal employee Bob Cratchit are all now engaged in a war against the vampires. Can Scrooge be persuaded to join them in time? Gray deftly captures Dickens’s bleakness, particularly in the chapters detailing Scrooge’s horrible childhood, but delivers little of the warmth and joy that made the original a beloved classic. -

Gray (Wuthering Bites) puts the King and Queen of the Vampires in Scrooge's basement. Three ghostly visits reveal the dark forces that turned Ebenezer into a miserly misanthrope. A change of heart could save him from a life of loneliness and keep the poor of London from getting their necks ripped open. Merry Christmas to all literary mashup fans!
