Who was the real architect of the Gunpowder Plot? Who was the first person to wear a Guy Fawkes mask? Why was Shakespeare’s Dark Lady dark? These and many other questions are answered in Graham Holderness’s new novel, which combines historical fiction, psychological mystery and supernatural thriller in a highly original and imaginative re-telling of the Gunpowder Plot. It is 1604. The Gunpowder Plotters are tunnelling under the palace of Westminster, and confront an immovable obstacle. Guy Fawkes travels to Europe to fetch help, and brings back more than he bargained for. Who is the mysterious Dark Lady? Who is the man in the mask? Why is London over-run by a plague of vampires, and who is going to defeat them? From a Westminster vault to a Transylvanian mine, from the crypt of Lambeth Palace to the under-stage of the Globe theatre, Black and Deep Desires takes the reader on a tour of historical, psychological and mythical underworlds, delving deep into some of history’s unexplored corridors, into the secret thoughts of Catholic terrorists, and into the dark wellsprings of Shakespeare’s poetry. In Black and Deep Desires Graham Holderness combines the expertise of an internationally-recognised Shakespeare scholar, the narrative flair of his 2001 novel The Prince of Denmark, and the poetic sensibility that won his verse collection Craeft a Poetry Book Society award.

By Sinan Akıllı Graham Holderness does not need any introduction for the Shakespeare-savvy reader, but those aspects of his latest novel that make it a very special work of fiction must definitely be highlighted. On 25 September 2015, only months before the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, Holderness's "historical fantasy" (as he describes his novel) brought the Bard back from the dead as a vampire hunter. On a different descriptive frame, however, it would not be wrong to call Black and Deep Desires a “cinematic novel.” The novel’s diary-like narrative technique, which is obviously a deliberate replication of the epistolary style in Bram Stoker's Dracula, its action, and the vivid imagery Holderness creates in this gripping story provoke comparison not with other fantasy novels but with screen productions. In the way it so naturally brings together the historical, political, and religious context of the Gun Power Plot with Stoker's Dracula, with Shakespeare's own life and works, and with several other well-known literary and historical figures, I think Holderness’s novel belongs in the order of screen productions like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) and the more recent Showtime TV show Penny Dreadful (2014). My natural expectation, therefore, is to see this fascinating novel made into a film in the near future, because it really should.In case the possible presumption from reading the blurbs is that the novel’s story is a combination of the films Shakespeare in Love (1998) and V for Vendetta (2005), nothing can be further away from what Black and Deeps Desires really is than that presumption. The plot of Holderness's novel is more explosive than Guy Fawkes's plot. In fact, perhaps the best description of this novel is to be found within its own lines: "Some kind of strange and fatal lover's kiss."

I am a lover of Shakespeare and I am partial to a great vampire tale.At first glance, it's a strange combination but the author, Graham Holderness, weaves an exciting and fantastical story with a good dose of historical interest and fact. I would describe it as a thrilling, dark and romantic novel. I really enjoyed the author's writing style. Highly recommended. In addition, I looked into the author, and he seems to be a leading academic in the field of Shakespeare.

It’s grounded and informed by the political era in Europe in Shakespeare’s lifetime. It has something for the history aficionados, and it has vampire stuff for the vampire fans, if they skip over long passages about British politics.It’s historical fiction that stars William Shakespeare as a reluctant hero. He is embroiled in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 that intended to blow up the House of Lords. That was a real thing. The author just adds vampires.This book fashions an adventure out of the stuff we studied in high school. It works in references to Shakespeare’s plays in such a way that I feel as if I am a learned intellectual. Beyond the references and the vampires, it’s a thrilling caper.The author is a Shakespeare scholar. He’s written books about Shakespeare. He doesn’t have an official record that reveals how much of an authority he is on vampires. But this book is good anyway. (Joe Crowe, http://www.RevolutionSF.com, http://www.twitter.com/RevolutionSF)
