A Search For Something More
Jonathan Harker has come a long way from the penniless orphan he used to be. He is an up-and-coming attorney with a beautiful fiancé and the stunning heiress Lucy Westenra in their bed. Jonathan knows that most men would be overjoyed with his lot in life, but Jonathan can’t help but feel like something is still missing.
When Drake Alucard, a rich and enigmatic European man comes to town, Jonathan is immediately captivated by the sexy enigmatic stranger. Drake is a client who is way out of his league, but Jonathan can’t help but give into the undeniable attraction between them. Yet the deeper he falls, the deeper that both Jonathan and his lovers are pulled into a dark world of sensuous delights and immense dangers.
This is an all Black dark polyamorous retelling of the classic gothic novel Dracula.

A Vicious Thirst is a Dracula retelling with all of the main characters being Black. A lot of the genders and races from Bramstoker’s book have been changed to suit my purposes. The entire main character Dracula, Mina, Jonathan, and Lucy are queer and the end game is for them to end up in a polyamorous couple group (aka polycule). This is my modern contemporary twist on Dracula which is set in the fictional town of Raven Hill, Maine.
