An alternate modern history with supernatural stakes

Bloodwork frames the modern world as an annotated history populated by figures and forces left out of conventional school accounts. Its central crisis begins with a zombie apocalypse that disrupts not only human survival but also vampires’ access to untainted blood. Ghosts, trolls, and werewolves enter a landscape shaped by war, fear, and love, expanding the book’s historical lens into fantastical territory. With its humor classification and “insouciant” framing, the novel brings supernatural creatures into a playful reimagining of modern history while keeping survival at the center of its premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in humorous speculative fiction
  • Readers who enjoy zombie-apocalypse scenarios with supernatural creatures
  • Fans of alternate takes on modern history

Book overview

This annotated history of the modern world includes those who are not generally included in the annals of history you read in school. When the zombie apocalypse begins, humans aren't the only ones who suffer. Vampires are faced with the problem of finding blood that isn't tainted by the virus. When ghosts, trolls, and werewolves, and war, fear, and love show up, what are they to do to save their lives?
