letter is misdirected to Lockwood, a lawyer in London, he travels to Yorkshire to investigate the strange correspondent and uncovers a series of horrifying events told to him by the transformed Heathcliff, now one of the undead. Haunted by his inability to transform his beloved Catherine to the immortal realm of vampires, Heathcliff feasts on his enemies, fulfilling his craving for blood even as his soul can never be satisfied by his one true mate.

This is the first Mashup title that I have read. The author really did evoke the classic, which is admirable, but something was lacking here. It was just too much like the original classic and not enough horror to capture my interest through out the book. I did put this down several times, but strove to finish it. I think it was a missed opportunity by the author, to really make this a FOUR STAR read. It was good, but I can't recommend it.
