Kyle Marffin's provocative debut is a modern day retelling of J.S. Sheridan LeFanu's classic 19th century vampire novella. Gothic literature's most notorious female vampire, the seductive Countess Carmilla Karnstein, stalks an unsuspecting victim through glittery streets to the desolate northwoods, and back to her Styrian homeland, glimpsing her unwrittenhistory while replaying the events of the original with a decidedly contemporary twist.
