Re-Written by Creator/MathewBaugh and published by Creator/PermutedPress, ''Literature/TheVampireCountOfMonteCristo'' is a literary mash-up in the vein of ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'' and alternate historical story ''Literature/AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter''. Veering surprisingly close to the text, the story manages to include many parts of the original novel usually adapted out while introducing supernatural elements that do not disrupt the original novels mood. Some have drawn comparisons to the Japanese anime Anime/{{Gankutsuou}} despite different themes.

AlexandreDumas' classic story of revenge, now with vampires!

After imprisonment in the Château d'If for a crime he didn't commit, Edmond Dantes conspires to escape with fellow prisoner the Abbe' Faria. Discovering that his friend is an alchemist, he uses the man's knowledge of sorcery to conjure the Angel of Vengeance (and possibly the Devil) to give the strength to wreck "God's wrath" upon his enemies. Transformed into a (un)holy creature of the night, Edmond Dantes uses his powers to bring about a terrible end to his foes.

* AdaptationDistillation: Despite cutting two thirds of the book and adding his own elements, Mathew Baugh manages to preserve most of the plot intact.
* AdaptedOut: Resoundingly averted. Despite being roughly a third the size of the original novel, all of the conspirators and the character of Haydee are present. The latter is particularly noteworthy as Haydee is often removed for ValuesDissonance reasons.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: The Angel of Vengeance. Is he a servant of God, the Devil, or both? [[spoiler: He's evil.]]
* AssholeVictim: As in the novel, the majority of Edmond's enemies have it coming. This is also the kind of prey the Count feasts on as a vampire.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Bronze Head.
* CruelMercy: What Edmond attempts to inflict on de Villefort. [[spoiler: The Angel of Vengeance is displeased.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: Played with as it might be a [[TouchedByVorlons Deal with an Angel]].
* DeathByAdaptation: Noirtier de Villefort. [[spoiler: He's a ghost in this version.]]
* HideYourLesbians: Subverted. Mathew Baugh keeps all of the reference to Eugenie Danglers sexuality so it is blindingly obvious what her preferences are.
* KarmicJackpot: Averted. Edmond Dantes becoming a vampire significantly reduces his gains from the original novel.
* ShoutOut: Lord Ruthven, The Comte de Saint Germaine, and several other period appropriate vampires get mentioned.
