A teenager accidentally becomes a vampire slayer.
The Woes of Young Rennslauer edition by Eulis S Morgan Candida Morris Literature Fiction eBooks
Vampires plus vampire slayers usually equal horror / suspense stories, but author Eulis S. Morgan has cleverly turned this genre on its head, shaking it up into an engaging, humorous vampire romp that moves from seventeenth century Europe to the village of Aberystwyth, Wales and back into Europe again.Sixteen-year-old Joachim Rennslauer of the village Sonnenfeld in Wesphalia has just survived an attack by Protestant soldiers on his Catholic village during the Thirty Years War in 1622. He has hidden in the hills fora week and relieves his desperate hunger by eating communion bread and wine from the ruins of his village chapel. His survivor’s guilt lasts but a moment when he’s attacked and bitten by a vampire, who immediately suffers the effects of this sacred meal. Poor Rennnslauer can’t help but react to the vampire’s monstrous screaming pain by spewing the meal right back into the vampire’s open maw. And so this rollicking, imaginative story begins on a slapstick flight of fancy.
When Rennslauer awakens from this terrible shock the next morning, he finds the well-appointed vampyr in ashes, but his gold- and gem- encrusted jewelry is intact, making the young peasant wealthy. Within a month of his arrival in Vienna, he proceeds to buy all the the accoutrements of a gentleman one would expect a young peasant to desire –- fine apparel, a home, a wife, two servants, regular baths, and a university education. For ten years, the happy young couple live a charmed but childless life, perhaps the result of Joachim’s vampire bite. But when Trautl begins to age and Joachim does not, he’s only able to stave off the inevitable for another eight years. When he begins to spend more time in the pubs to avoid conflict at home, he’s approached by a mysterious stranger with a parchment. It seems the Devil is aware of Rennslauer and the message cautions him to flee eastward. His wife and her priest think Rennslauer’s perennial youth is the work of the Devil, so he must bid this life adieu. He sails to Wales, missing his wife but feeling a sense of relief at the prospect of starting a new life. He takes up residence in the surreally beautiful seaside village of Aberystwyth, shacking up with a randy widow. He soon meets Brother Bertram, ostensibly the writer of the parchment message. Bertram refers to Rennslauer as Vampire Slayer on their first meeting, and offers his services. So the grand vampire hunt begins, first in the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle and later, in Europe, where Rennslauer takes up with the daughter of a master Transylvanian vampire who has had contact with Brother Bertram.
Rennslauer is a horny vampire slayer and his sexual exploits are light and amusing. He sheds living situations as easily as we shed our clothing each night. So his necessary exits from relationships grown sour or tragic with disappointments don’t faze him as they should. Even when he loses his first and possibly real true love, the surprise union with the vampire’s daughter that’s less calculated than his long first marriage or his short dalliance with the randy Welsh widow, he seems either too resigned or too distant when the situation implodes. This makes the story end almost a little too quickly on too light a note, but in defense of that, this novella is excerpted from the novel What If the Pope Blessed the Fog (Smashwords, 2011), and so Rennslauer’s transition from his third contact with a vampire and third romantic adventure likely flows satisfactorily into the succeeding chapter.
At its core, The Woes of Young Rennslauer is as much gothic romance as vampire romp, a testosterone-driven adventure that manifests some insightful tenderness at times. Both plot and character driven, the tale is a nod to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, though expressed with the Coen brothers’ characteristic whimsy. Rennslauer directly narrates his tale and his strong, reliable voice immediately draws readers into the story setting. The tale mostly stays in its period ambiance or in a state of suspended disbelief, but here and there the language strays into some modernish American territory and there are just a few minor editing errors throughout the novella. The spell is not quite broken because the story pacing is good, the distractions are minimal, and the scenes captivating enough to keep turning pages. You’ll want Rennslauer to keep slaying vampires and encountering strong women when this tale ends, and fortunately, you can experience what lies ahead in What If the Pope Blessed the Fog.
Author Eulis S. Morgan bills himself as just a regular Joe and yet another wannabe writer, but he clearly wields his wordwhacking tools with flair, and he’s a connoisseur of wit, irony, paradox and a master muse about life's inconveniences. It’s just a matter of time before Morgan’s self-published work reaches the publishers and the sizable audiences it deserves.
