Three Men and a Vampire

"Three Men and a Vampire" is a short work by Harry Turtledove that will be published in the upcoming collection, Some Time Later: Fantastic Voyages in Alternate Worlds, by A.J. Sikes, B.J. Sikes, and Dover Whitecliff. Thinking Ink Press will release the collection sometime in 2017.

A preview audio version has been made available here. Given the format of the anthology, Turtledove's second contribution will be some sort of sequel to "Three Men and a Vampire".

The story is a pastiche of Jerome K. Jerome's 1889 work, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), but includes Professor Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The three protagonists of that story, Jerome, George, and Harris, as well as Jerome's dog, Montmorency, encounter Van Helsing while carousing one night. Van Helsing convinces them to accompany him on a hunt for a vampire.
