A Plague of Vampires
A collection of ten stories about scientists trapped in a vampire-ravaged alternate timeline.
This volume gathers ten distinct narratives that examine the intersection of scientific ambition and supernatural horror. Sipila constructs a framework where interdimensional travel leads to catastrophic encounters with vampires. The stories utilize the backdrop of a collapsed Confederacy to explore societal breakdown. Each tale contributes to a broader examination of how humanity copes with extinction-level events. The work does not rely on traditional vampire lore alone but integrates elements of pandemic fiction and alternate history. This approach creates a unique atmosphere where technology cannot save the protagonists from ancient evils. The collection is organized as a series of interconnected or thematically linked stories rather than a single continuous novel.
Published in 2023 by Independently Published, this work sits within the contemporary independent horror market. It engages with American alternate history traditions by reimagining the Civil War outcome. The book reflects current interests in climate anxiety and pandemic fiction through its apocalyptic settings.
