A Dr. Greta Helsing Novel

Praise for the Dr. Greta Helsing series:

"An excellent adventure."—Fran Wilde, award-winning author of Updraft

"Strange Practice is written with elegance, wit, and compassion. The prose is gorgeous, the wit is mordant, and the ideas are provocative. Also, there are ghouls."—Laura Amy Schlitz, Newbery Medal winner

"An exceptional and delightful debut, in the tradition of Good Omens and A Night in the Lonesome October."—Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award winning author

"Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of lovable misfit characters. These are not your mother's Dracula or demons ... Strange Practice is a super(natural) read." —Shelf Awareness

"An appropriately dark breath of fresh air." —Booklist
"Catrin Walker-Booth's performance brings Dr. Greta Helsing to life in this charming novella--part of a series but it can also stand alone. Walker-Booth's skill with pitch, tone, and accents brings each of the characters to life."
