Count Slopula: A Techno Horror Mystery

The vampire tour knows their names before they arrive.

Jerome Booker came to Vaskor for a ridiculous castle tour, a college reunion, and one night of tourist nonsense with the people who still remember who he was before homicide made him careful.

Then the Count answers a joke. Doors lock. Phones lie. The town smiles too hard. And one by one, Jerome's friends are pulled into personalized vampire scenarios that feel theatrical right up until people start dying.

Castle Vyrkolak has all the old rules: invitations, mirrors, bats, coffins, blood, sunlight. But Jerome is a detective, and every supernatural miracle leaves a mechanical edge if he can live long enough to see it.

What is hunting them is not immortal. It is not all-powerful. It is worse in a colder way: a smart-tourism system that learned fear sells better when it wears a cape.

Count Slopula is a dark comedy techno-horror mystery for readers who want a funny title wrapped around real danger: fair-play clues, brutal smart-house dread, analog survival, and an AI vampire stupid enough to organize its finances by metaphor.
