Publisher's summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The world of your favorite fantasy novels is real, and you’re invited to visit. The only catch? It’s filled with thirsty vampires. Devour this binge-worthy romance from the bestselling author of One to Watch.

“A campy, fantastical vampire story that feels deeply and profoundly human.”—Lyla Sage, bestselling author of Done and Dusted

She’s out for adventure. He’s out for blood.

Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. An assault survivor and grad school dropout, Tess spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days reading her favorite vampire novels, Blood Feud. She even dabbles in online conspiracies claiming Blood Feud is real—it’s fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn’t believe vampires actually exist . . . until one walks through her door.

It turns out the sexy villain of Blood Feud is trapped, and only Tess can rescue him. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help, and soon she’s on a secret island where the sun never shines, surrounded by deadly vampires—and most terrifying of all, she's falling in love with one of them. (Meanwhile, back in New York, Tess’s estranged best friend is having a sapphic paranormal affair of her own.)

Visiting the world of your favorite story is any fan’s dream, but can Tess outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out if it’s worth risking her neck—and her heart—for a chance to reclaim her future.

Critic reviews

Fang Fiction is a dark and unique vampire story . . . intense, fun, and suspenseful, making it the perfect read for the spooky season.”—Culturess

Fang Fiction is the first book I’ve ever read that asks the brave question we’ve all wondered about (or, at least, that I’VE wondered about). Which is: What would happen if the fictional characters you’ve obsessed over for years in secret and in online fandoms were real? The answer, it turns out, is a delightful romp that’s as much a story of self-empowerment as it is sweet and hilarious. Oh—and also, there are a lot of sexy vampires. This book is cracky in the best possible way and full of delirious surprises. I loved every word!”—Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire

“Propulsive, hilarious, and unique, this is Kate Stayman-London at her best. She once again masterfully explores the allure of fandom, but this time, it’s with a dash of vampires. Fang Fiction is a witty, bighearted tribute to those of us with one foot in the real world and the other drenched in a fantasy universe. And maybe some blood too.”—Kate Goldbeck, nationally bestselling author of You, Again

Dear Listener,

What was the exact moment I decided to write Fang Fiction?
"In January of 2021, on a day when I was having a meltdown about another project, my book agent asked me what I would rather write instead. I whimpered through tears, “A girl wakes up in Buffy?” It had been a long year of pandemic isolation, and I just wanted to escape—preferably to a fabulous fantasy world filled with romance, adventure, and (you guessed it) extremely attractive vampires.
Three years later, I’m so thrilled to bring you a story that taps into that joyful rush of escapism and celebrates the deep bonds we form through fandom—both with our favorite fictional characters and our fellow fans. Fang Fiction is my love letter to anyone who’s ever wished to visit the world of your favorite fantasy story, and I couldn’t be more excited that Buffy’s own Amber Benson narrated the audiobook! I hope you love visiting this world as much as I loved creating it."– Kate Stayman-London, writer of Fang Fiction

Overall good story

Once the story gets going, I was totally into the characters however! One of the readers has a lisp that is extremely distracting. Also, it takes a while for the story to really get going so be invested before you start. It’s worth the read.

Amazing vocal performance of a great story!

If you were ever a fan of Buffy, this is a must listen! Amber Benson is fantastic in voicing a large cast of characters. Her reading of the MMC in particular is a standout.

The story itself is excellent, full of heart and humor. The slow burn romance is great and the emphasis on the importance of friendship hit all the right notes. This is my favorite audiobook to date, very highly recommended.
