Books like Hide me among the graves by Tim Powers
Set in the cold streets of Victorian London in 1862, the novel follows the malevolent spirit of John Polidori—once the physician of the Romantic poet Lord Byron—as he prowls the city seeking to capture the souls of the innocent. Polidori’s obsession leads him to target the daughter of a veterinarian and a reformed prostitute, and he resurrects a dead woman, turning her into a vampire. The Rossettis—Christina, a poet, and her brother Dante Gabriel, an artist—realize that stopping Polidori is imperative. Together with the unlikely allies, they must navigate a hidden London that extends from high society salons to the grimy slums and even the catacombs beneath St. Paul's Cathedral, confronting the lure of immortality versus human life.
