Porter Down Hollywood Mystery # 3.
Metro-Goldwyn-Vampire
(scheduled for May 2026 publication by BearManor Media)
In Mark of the Vampire, filmed in 1935 at the all-powerful MGM Studios, Bela Lugosi's bloodsucker "Count Mora" and other ghouls are revealed, in a surprise finale, to be merely actors.
In Metro-Goldwyn-Vampire, however,
the joke is on MGM.
There is an apparent vampire killer amok during the
filming of this classic film, and the body count keeps
mounting. Is there truly a vampire loose in
Hollywood, targeting this production, or is there
another sinister reason for the murders? The MGM
studio knows that P.I. Porter Down is the man to save the production and catch the perpetrator(s) so he is once again engaged to handle the case.
