Feast of the Sisters Paperback – October 24, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
A vampire novel with a cruciform heart.
An ancient evil has set the table in sisters Jo and Vicki's small Tennessee town. Moths and butterflies stalk the vampires' would-be victims, while an unseen tempter lures Vicki further toward a feast where she is on the menu. When Vicki disappears, gentle and sensitive Jo vows to do whatever it takes to save her—even tracking Vicki through the haunted lair and secret tunnels of a notorious, immortal killer. Will Jo and her friends stop the feast before it happens, or will they become its guests of honor?
About the Author
Alex Scott has been writing since 2000. He was chrismated into the Greek Orthodox Church in 2016, with Silouan the Athonite as his patron saint, and is currently pursuing a Master's in Education with the goal of teaching English in middle or high school. He self-published his first novel, Thresholds of the Grand Dream, in 2017. He has spent his entire life in science fiction and fantasy fandom in some capacity; his parents even met at a convention! Having been interested in vampire lore, vampire stories, games, anime, etc., since childhood, he wrote Feast of the Sisters to explore the concept of vampires as a personification of evil in the modern era, with special homages to Bram Stoker's original Dracula, and with an Orthodox understanding of sin and temptation.- Print length298 pages

I’ve always found classic horror sub-genres like vampires an authorial risk. Not only are you bound by the constraints provided by the mythos your entry builds on, but you must provide an angle unique enough that you’re not simply face-lifting the classic. Even if you manage to add something – you must add well or avid readers will see you as “Dracula – but with Bacon” or so far off that you missed the mark entirely.
Alex Scott’s Feast of the Sisters was a delightful read. Readers familiar with Scott’s extensive body of short fiction will already know that he is an author with no shortage of invention – but Scott brings his fantastic imagination to his vampire narrative to produce a young adult novel that is both familiar and new. Whether it be the steady motif of harbinger moths and butterflies (I’m a sucker for luna moths myself), the background menace of “the cat-killer”, or the “who’s side are they on?” twists that help create the unique tensions of the escalating plot, the book manages to surprise and build in unexpected directions.
Of course, good horror, above all, rests on strong character foundations, and Scott manages his characters well, building their inner conflicts consistently and sympathetically. As the characters find themselves in increasing peril from the outside, Scott skillfully makes it clear that the greatest threats are always from within, something he executes through both well-drawn interiority of the characters as well as the religious elements that help define the conflict of the story as good vs. evil. All-in-all, Feast of the Sisters was an engaging read for all audiences and effective within the young-adult horror genre.
