description: Its 1815. Garrick Mortimer is a scholar extraordinaire an underemployed and starving genius who agrees to sign on as tutor to Desmond Hathaway the youngest son of a vampire family living in Yorkshire. Desmond heartbroken by another boys callous treatment of him in school rebels against Garricks attempts at educating him and does everything he could to chase Garrick away which proves to be a greater challenge than he first thought.When Desmonds older brother returns from Italy for a visit and brings with him a small group of talentless and self-absorbed poets life in Dryden Abbey turns upside-down mainly when Desmond meets Leigh Blaise Sherbourne a sullen vampire poet.Throw into the mix a desperate mothers plea for grandchildren a family-owned torture chamber a cottage-abbey-and-quarter-castle and a grumpy family magician and Garrick finds life in the Hathaway household to be a great deal more than he bargained for.
