Baltimore,: Or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire

One of the greatest pulp novels ever written; a mad combination of Chaucer, Hans Christian Anderson, F. Paul Wiislon, and Manly Wade Wellman. Werebears, Aztec demons, living puppet gods, and vampires that are actually the things of horrific folklore, not hollywood romance.
