'Kiran Millwood Hargrave's lyrical novels have made her the darling of children's literary fiction. The Girl of Ink & Stars (2016), published when she was 26 and nominated for the Carnegie, is now a fixture on school reading lists. For her fourth novel, however, she leaves her primary school fans behind and plunges into the realms of teenage vampire fiction.The Deathless Girls tells the story of Dracula's brides, who are mentioned in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel but never individually named, and their origins are left unexplained. In Stoker's version, they are seductive vampire "sisters" who reside with the Count in his castle in Transylvania, repulsed by sunlight, entrancing men with their beauty and charm.It takes a bold author to pick up where Stoker left off, but Hargrave confidently claims the narrative for her own. The "brides" in her story are Lil and Kizzy, twin sisters from a band of Transylvanian travellers, who are brutally kidnapped on the eve of their 17th birthday and enslaved in the castle of the cruel Boyar Valcar. Lil initially finds comfort in her mysterious affinity with Mira, her fellow kitchen maid; but when Kizzy disappears - sent as a gift to the Voivode, as feudal lord who demands blood sacrifices from each Boyar - she must set out on a perilous quest to save her.Hargrave is an entrancing writer, who gets full mileage out of her Gothic milieu. Castle yards are "red with slaughtered pigs"; and behind every mountain lurks a nightmarish villain: "They call him the Dragon, because he razes whole villages that disobey his command. He is an evil man, with a black heart. Some say he's worse than a man, has no heart at all." But this is no mere pastiche. Hargrave is a deceptively modern writer, who finally invests Dracula's beleaguered brides with some feminist clout.
