Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is best known for the Saint-Germain novels, which follow an immortal vampire through different historical periods rather than keeping him in a single Gothic setting. Hôtel Transylvania introduces the Count in eighteenth-century Paris, while later books move through ancient Rome, Renaissance Europe, medieval courts and other eras. Saint-Germain is less a predatory monster than a long-lived outsider navigating politics, persecution and relationships, which gives the series the shape of historical fiction with supernatural continuity. Yarbro has also written horror and science fiction outside the sequence. Her work fits historical vampire fiction, dark historical fantasy and long-running supernatural saga. Read more Less
