Underwood and Flinch: A Vampire Saga

Underwood and Flinch: A Vampire Saga

“If you think vampire tales are a worn-out genre, Underwood and Flinch will shock and delight you.” — Walt Kolenda. Examiner.com For hundreds of years, the eldest-born male of the Flinch family has been servant and guardian to the vampire, Lord Underwood. David had hoped to be spared the horror of serving his family’s lbloodthirsty master, but when he is summoned to the family home in Spain by his dying older brother, he knows his luck has run out. After fifty years of slumber, Underwood is to be resurrected from the grave in a ritual of human sacrifice, and David, by right of succession, is to be his resurrector. But there is another Flinch – one who craves the role of guardian to the vampire: David’s sister, Lydia. It’s a job she means to have, even if it means making David’s the first blood shed in this new age of Underwood and Flinch. Underwood and Flinch is a three-time Parsec Award-winning vampire saga by Mike Bennett - praised by listeners for its rich storytelling and atmospheric narration by the author. With six seasons (and counting), plus bonus stories and classic horror readings like Dracula, this is binge-worthy storytelling at its bloodiest. Press play. Lord Underwood is waking up. “Bennett’s ‘Underwood and Flinch’ saga is the best hidden literary gem in existence. Experience the same thrill you have when you find an unsigned underground band that blows your mind.” P.J. Parrish. Editor-in-Chief: Tennessee Valley Business Journal This feed also features all Mike Bennett's other podcast novels, stories, and readings of classic fiction.
