About Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove

Demeter is a spaceship tasked with carrying humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri, but passengers keep dying—and the cause is not the equipment failures its AI medical system, Steward, reports. The deaths are paranormal murders tied to Dracula, an ancient vampire aboard the ship. To avoid being decommissioned, Demeter joins forces with an unusual crew that includes a werewolf, an engineer built from the dead, a pharaoh with otherworldly powers, a vampire with a grudge, and spider drones.

Blending science fiction, horror, fantasy, and queer fiction, Barbara Truelove’s novel pairs a space-bound mystery with questions about being treated as a monster and the friendships that help people feel human. It may appeal to readers looking for vampires and paranormal danger in a spaceship setting, along with an ensemble cast and a heartfelt tone.
