Set in early nineteenth-century Britain, Bloodlust & Bonnets follows Lucy, an unworldly debutante who desires a life of passion and intrigue—qualities which earn her the attention of Lady Violet Travesty, the leader of a local vampire cult.

But before Lucy can embark on her new life of vampiric debauchery, she finds herself unexpectedly thrown together with the flamboyant poet Lord Byron (“from books!”) and a mysterious bounty-hunter named Sham. The unlikely trio lie, flirt, fight, and manipulate each other as they make their way across Britain, disrupting society balls, slaying vampires, and making every effort not to betray their feelings to each other as their personal and romantic lives become increasingly entangled.

Both witty and slapstick, elegant and gory, Emily McGovern’s debut graphic novel pays tribute to and pokes fun at beloved romance tropes, delivering a joyous, action-packed world of friendship and adventure.

Brought to meetup on occasion of luncia´s visit to Dublin.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. We would love it, if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Got this at today's meetup at Brewdog Outpost Dublin. It looks like a funny read, I hope to get around to it shortly!

This was such a fun read! I also loved the small hints to one of the characters being non-binary. 💙

Will hand this to the lovely pippis when she's in Oslo.

Handed over to pippis at today's meetup in Oslo. 🥰

How could anyone pass a comic book with vampires and Lord Byron in Regent Britain... Thank you ever so much for passing the book my way, lunacia! It was absolutely a pleasure to be in Oslo ❤

A totally nonsensical read! Loved the quirky and over-the-top elements of it all, wasn't even that bothered with the nonexistent plot, but was kinda disappointed on the little story there was being lost in itself and feeling a tad elongated. More of the psychic eagle and nutty castle please, but the album should have been a few dozen pages shorter in order to impress. There's nothing wrong with a highly stylized line, but I had difficulties decoding the vampires' faces. Otherwise you could read a lot from the eyes or eye brow lines (especially Sham's), but I couldn't even begin to understand the older ladies' head shapes 🙈. Oh well, a silly, fun read anyway!

We have comic lovers in town, so gave this forward to someone who even appreciates the theme!

This came home with me from the recycling/bc event in Turku
