Synopsis -
Renfield is an experienced sailor - he has held his own against the worst the seas have to offer, but all of the sea sickness and bland food in the world could not prepare him for what the Demeter had in store for him.
In this throwback to classic horror, author Ashley Grant welcomes you aboard the Demeter.
Like Renfield and his crew mates, however, you are not alone - the suave and manipulative Count Dracula is stowed away, ready and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
Review -
There have been many stories written about Count Dracula, but this is the first book that I have come across that focused on Renfield, which was a nice change.
Empty Cargo is a well written book, with the author doing a fine job of painting the grim life for sailors aboard a cramped ship navigating stormy waters.
I also enjoyed reading Renfield's slow descent into madness as he falls under the thrall of of the iconic Count. For me, this was the highlight of the whole piece.
The only real problem I has was that it all felt a little familiar. This is not the fault of the author, but rather has to do with how many Dracula stories I have read over the years. With that in mind, Empty Cargo is still well worth reading.
