Review
Tom Holland seems determined to prove that almost every significantly doomed poet in history was a vampire and Deliver Us from Evil is no exception. This is his Restoration novel where Lord Rochester is foppishly on the scene. Young Robert Foxe becomes the servant of vampires and ultimately a vampire himself, simply to take revenge on the entity which killed his parents and infected the girl he loved. There is a certain ruthlessness involved in this, and starting the Great Fire of London is no more than par for Robert's course. This is a bitter and angry book; it goes to wonderful extremes both in its plot and its rich prose. (Kirkus UK)
