Vampires and Mormons Books in Order

The Vampires and Mormons books are where Harrison lets herself get weird on purpose. The starting point is Vampires in the Temple, which follows Salt Lake City detective Jack Hardy as he investigates his fiancée's murder and stumbles into a hidden history of Mormon pioneers, vampire wars, and prophecies no one should have buried. His partner, Andy Young, is tied by blood to that older story, which gives the case a personal and historical charge from the start.

What makes the series work is the mix. Part detective story, part supernatural conspiracy, part sideways commentary on religion and mythmaking, these books treat Utah as a place where doctrine, folklore, and monsters can all occupy the same street. Jack is not wandering into a generic urban fantasy city. He is moving through a specifically Mormon landscape where the supernatural has been folded into community memory and then denied, edited, or locked away.

The tone is not solemn.

There is darkness here, but also a willingness to push pulp ideas somewhere stranger. Genealogy of Werewolves widens the supernatural frame and suggests that bloodlines, family history, and old species boundaries matter just as much as individual crimes. The series feels interested in what happens when the language of genealogy, chosenness, and inheritance stops being metaphorical.

If you like detective fiction with a big speculative twist, this is one of Harrison's most unusual lanes. Expect conspiracies, local lore, faith-inflected worldbuilding, and monsters that are less interested in gothic glamour than in what they reveal about power and belonging.
