These are paranormal murders, and they began when one nasty, ancient vampire decided to board Demeter and kill all her humans. To keep from getting decommissioned, Demeter must join forces with her own team of monsters: A werewolf. An engineer built from the dead. A pharaoh with otherworldly powers. A vampire with a grudge. A fleet of cheerful spider drones. Together, this motley crew will face down the ultimate evil--Dracula.…

"This heartfelt sci-fi monster mash-up of an audiobook is stunningly narrated by an excellent ensemble. Charlie Albers voices DEMETER, a spaceship that travels between planets whose human passengers keep getting murdered through paranormal encounters. Albers’s impressive skill at differentiating voices enlivens the robotic DEMETER, who is filled with anxiety. This is a laugh-out-loud audiobook full of thrills and a touch of romance as DEMETER and her surviving passengers set out for revenge against Dracula. (12.75 hours)"
