It is the year 1882 and Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde who are great friends are asked by the Roosevelt's if they would investigate a series of stagecoach robberies and deaths that seem to involve an unusual vampire who can carry out it's dastardly deeds in the daylight. Since Bram and Oscar had accidentally gotten involved with hunting vampires on their last adventure, this is not an unexpected or unusual request for the two of them but they were hoping that time of their lives were over (apparently not). In the meantime Wilde is supposed to go on tour in the US with a new play that he had written so of course they can't say no to the Roosevelts. Oh my gosh, the name dropping of characters that all readers will recognize along the way was just too much fun yet very believable because all of the people in this story had not risen to the peak of their fame or celebrity status. Stoke and Wilde are discreet monster hunters and there are plenty of the undead and other supernatural adversaries as well as human monsters that this duo will encounter with many chills and spills and all with thrills, where you won't want to put this book down. The story is all told from personal journals and letters from all the characters involved including many from Bram's wife Florence who also went along on this Wilde West Ride!
This book was so unique and fun. The monsters were realistic and the famous characters were non-stop and believable and just so much fun. I can't wait to go back and read the first book called "Stoker's Wilde" to find out about how all this crazy, exciting fun all began. This is definitely still a stand-alone read but I just want to find out more and hopefully there will be many more books to come based on this famous duo and their relatives and friends. The storyline and storytelling were so creatively and wonderfully written that I was sad but satisfied when the book came to an end. Truly, amazing and believable characters that really transformed with reading this wondrouly, imaginative written story. It just truly left me wanting to go on another Wilde ride wherever the next adventure takes them.
I want to thank the authors "Steven Hopstaken and Melissa Prusi" for the best fun I've had in a long time and to the publisher "Flame Tree Press" who continues to produce the most marvelous horror books and also to Netgalley for providing the opportunity to read so many absolutely terrific books!

I more than highly recommend this thrilling and uniquely different style of book and have given a rating of 5 Thrilling And Fun ...more
Great follow-up book to Nathan Hilliard's "Nightwalk". I feel Nightwalk is a must before reading this new book since a Fun Walk Not Ride Into Horror!
Great follow-up book to Nathan Hilliard's "Nightwalk". I feel Nightwalk is a must before reading this new book since a few characters and "Others" are reintroduced and readers will have a tasty reading experience with no confusion on this great walk into horror. The story begins 2 years after the first event and is fast-paced through to the final page. The book is definitely a horror story with many light and comedic moments, which I really appreciated. I felt the first book has more tense moments of terror due to the fact of unknown surprises and shocks continuously happening. Not to take anything away from this book, but it is more of a sequel, so I had expectations and I was fully rewarded with new horrors.
I highly recommend this story and look forward to reading more of Nathan Hilliard's books!
I have given this book a rating of 4 Creepy 🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars!! ...more
