'Vivian Shaw knocks it out of the park yet again. If you aren't reading Dr Greta Helsing, you're missing out'

T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author

Strange New World finds Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, facing the strangest challenge of her career . . . accompanying an anxious angel and a sullen demon on a road trip across America in the clever conclusion to this delightful fantasy series.

After narrowly avoiding the end of the world, the leaders of Heaven and Hell are struggling to collaborate according to the terms of their new treaty - especially because angels and demons are, quite literally, allergic to each other. Seeking a solution, the powers that be decide to see if the allergy persists on Earth by sending an angel and demon on a research trip, first stop: New York City. And what better chaperone than Dr Greta Helsing, who happens to owe Hell a few favours of her own?

But there's unrest in New York's monster underworld and Greta and her team are about to land in the middle of it. Something is off in Heaven and on Earth, and Greta will have to figure out just what that is if she hopes to protect those she loves most.

'There are as few heroines as well written and compelling as Greta Helsing' BookPage

'An exceptional and delightful debut, in the tradition of Good Omens and A Night in the Lonesome October' Elizabeth Bear, Hugo-award winning author

'Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of lovable misfit characters . . . Strange Practice is a super(natural) read' Shelf Awareness

Industry Reviews

Shaw's elegant writing makes this series a standout in the genre

Shaw's delightful third novel featuring Dr Greta Helsing . . . The creative worldbuilding around magically enhanced mummy medicine and mystical Egyptology hits just the right note, and her bold story engages the powers of Heaven, Hell and everything in between while maintaining a character-centered, intimate approach that keeps the reader deeply involved. Readers will hope they haven't seen the last of Greta and her crew

I loved every page of it . . . a spectacularly fun book

This book is a joy to read, unlocking every bit of delicious promise in the premise
