Synopsis
Karla Sorensen used to be big in horror films. No self-respecting low-budget bloody schlocker shocker was complete without the Queen of Vampires. She was well-qualified; after all, at the age of ten, she sold her soul to the devil.
Now, although spookily ageless, Karla is knocking on in years. Her residuals are drying up and she needs some cash, so she decides to return to the north of England, to Manchester, to appear in Menswear, Britain’s most risqué TV soap opera.
But not everyone’s happy about her return to the fame game. Menswear’s current star is Lance Randall, the famously sexually confused heart-throb, and he’s furious to hear that Karla is about to become his co-star. He hates her, he fears her, and he’s convinced that she’s come to steal his very soul. Dark clouds are massing around town – and deep, dark, devilish secrets are about to be unleashed.

About the Author
PAUL MAGRS is best known for his creations Brenda and Effie who face many challenges in a ghoulish version of Whitby. He has also written numerous Doctor Who novels, books for children and young adults and is lecturer in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University.
From Booklist
Menswear, the prime-time soap opera that has taken Britain by storm, is about to get a new cast member: Karla Sorenson, the once-great star of low-budget horror films (Carnival of Flesh, among others). Lance Randall, the show's leading male star, is seriously concerned about Karla's arrival. He's not just worried that Karla might steal the show; he's also afraid that . . . well, she might steal his soul, too. A comedy about television, satanism, and lesbian vampires, the novel is a superbly written mix of crime fiction and campy horror (imagine Tim Dorsey or Bill Fitzhugh, only substantially more perverse). Fans of the author's previous novels (including Mad Dogs and Englishmen, 2002) will be pleased to note that Magrs is once again pushing the envelope, combining an outrageously over-the-top premise with a side dish of graphic sexuality. That combo will doubtless offend some, but it's all in good fun, and good fun it is. Magrs is a true original, and this one can only bolster his reputation as a cult favorite. David Pitt
