Ms. Rayburn has eased quite effortlessly into a vastly different millieu, and she has spun a tale that leaves you wondering, even at its conclusion, whether vampires are real. The only weak point for me was the resolution of the love story, which came out of the blue and was unconvincing. Better to have had the count work to win Theodora in a way that would have revealed his transformation through actions, rather than merely to tell us that he had transformed. There was a whole subplot that got left behind. After the tempestuous Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane saga, the reunion between Theodora and the count was rather tame, and without any real suspense. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Gothic *by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2019* An excellent gothic. It moves steadily, is atmospheric without being cloying and its characters are interesting. This kind of novel has very strict outlines and rules, and this one ticks them all off, so if you like gothic novels, this one's for you. It is very well written. My only caveat is that it is utterly classic and does not seek in any way to challenge those boundaries or add original elements to the formula. But that's just me. I love the twist, the outlaw, and the outre. Raybourn still managed to keep me reading, even so. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Too Formulaic *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2011* This was an entertaining enough read, but not up to the level I've come to expect from Raybourn's Lady Julia novels. There is an interesting contrast between the intelligent and respectful way in which the author treats the folklore of the Carpathians and the often simplistic personal interactions of her main characters -- they are stock figures (spirited heroine, ominous housekeeper, darkly handsome but mysterious Count, etc.), their dialog is peppered with cliches, and they exhibit too many improbable motivations to be credited. Surely, real people do not behave in such ways -- even in gothic novels (and I'm prepared to suspend a degree of belief in the course of a good storyline). I won't reveal the best example of this implausible behavior, because it would ruin a plot surprise, but when it occurred in the storyline, it so beggared belief that it caused me to groan aloud. Furthermore, the relationship between the heroine and the Count is about as sophisticated as a Barbara Cartland romance. On the positive side, the plot twists cleverly, and the atmosphere is created so evocatively that one can share with the heroine the frissons she felt when the chill mountain wind carried the cries of wolves in the night. For my money, Raybourn's brilliant description of the mountain castle is the best thing in the novel -- it is almost elevated to character status. Overall, this novel could have been a wonderful and creative re-working of the gothic genre, but for me, it fell short of the mark. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8070520-the-dead-travel-fast](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8070520-the-dead-travel-fast) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
