Review of 'These Savage Shores' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Excellently written and beautifully illustrated, this is close to a perfect one shot. A literal vampire arrives in southwest India with metaphoric vampires the EIC and we quickly realize who's the real essence-absorbing monster come to ransack the shores of Malabar and beyond.
It doesn't feel like its short length is a detriment at all, even with the expansive plot and multiple POVs. A real lesson in narrative economy IMO.
