It's a romp. (As long as you don't expect much, you'll have fun!) Think: a cross between The Mummy, Raiders of the Lost Ark (though it's probably more The Last Crusade) and Dracula, set in Victorian England. Throw in a few 11- to 18-year-olds and some zombie vampires, and you've pretty much got a sense of the book. A whole lotta fun.
