Evangeline Harker, Associate Producer on television news magazine The Hour, is sent to Transylvania to scout out a possible story on a notorious Eastern European crime boss named Ion Torgu.

When she fails to return her New York office is engulfed in a wave of guilt and recrimination. Then, suddenly, months later, she's found convalescing in a Transylvanian monastery, her memory seemingly scrubbed. But then who has been sending emails in her name? And what do these crates delivered to the office contain? And why does the show's sound system appear to be infected with some strange aural virus? As a very dark Old-World atmosphere deepens in the halls of one of America's most trusted television programmes, its employees are forced to confront a threat beyond their wildest imaginings.

John Marks, a former 60 Minutes producer, grandly reinvents the Dracula epic in an astonishing satire on the way we live and work in the post-9/11 world.

Reviews
A novel about a monster that evokes all the sadness, brutality and hideous glamour of human depravity. It's about the abyss, and the big hole in Lower Manhattan, and the strange, dark, funny stuff in each of us. It'll grab you and not let go until it's done with you -- Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
With wit and fury, John Marks describes a media culture so obsessed with image that it is powerless to resist the malevolent force of true evil. There are several monsters in Fangland, but the most dangerous ones appear every night, smiling on your television screen -- John Twelve Hawks, author of The Traveller
Love and death, sex and violence, satiric wit and genuine horror: Fangland has it all. Much more than a modern gothic thriller, John Marks's novel is, at its dark heart, a meditation on the nature of good and evil. I was thoroughly creeped out... and enjoyed every minute of it -- Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child
An unforgettable reimagining of Dracula for the 21st century. It takes a rare talent to make a seductive, perhaps even murderous female protagonist into a symbol of a strong modern woman, but John Marks has done just that. Ambitious, career-minded, yet vulnerable, Evangeline Harker is the anchor to an equally ambitious and powerful novel -- Mitch Cullin, author of Tideland and A Slight Trick of the Mind
This inventive re-working of Bram Stoker's Dracula - written, like the original, in epistolary form - may be modern in its setting ... but at its heart, this is old-fashioned Gothic horror * Daily Mail *
