Sinopse

"I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine."

In a lonely schloss deep within the forest of Styria, young Laura leads a secluded life with her father. Her world is forever changed when a mysterious carriage accident brings a beautiful, enigmatic guest into their home: Carmilla. As an intense and feverish bond develops between the two women, a strange wasting sickness begins to claim the lives of girls in the surrounding villages, and Laura finds her own strength ebbing away as she is haunted by dreams of a giant, soot-black beast.

The Architect of the Vampire Mythos: Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla is a masterclass in atmospheric dread. It introduced many of the conventions that would define the genre: the noble but cursed antagonist, the ability of the vampire to slip through locked doors, and the specialized "specialist" required to end the nightmare. Long before Van Helsing, there was General Spielsdorf and Baron Vordenburg.

A Story of Shadow and Subtext: Beneath the Gothic horror lies a groundbreaking exploration of attraction and obsession. Carmilla's "love" for Laura is both tender and predatory, creating a psychological depth that was revolutionary for its time. With its lush prose and haunting imagery—from the moonlit ruins of the Karnstein estate to the hidden portrait of a long-dead ancestor—Carmilla remains one of the most influential and chilling works in the history of the supernatural.

The original shadow is waiting. Purchase "Carmilla" today and discover the dark elegance of the vampire's first kiss.

    Welcome to Pepper Bay. A small close-knit community where you’ll find chocolate box cottages, quaint shops, love, drama, and a happily ever after. 
     
    The last time Joey Walker watched Josh Reynolds leave Pepper Bay was three years ago. She decided there and then that the next time he visited she would never in a million years, even if her life depended on it, sleep with him ever again. She was done with secretly being in love with him. She couldn’t keep falling into his arms every time he was around. Josh was never going to see her as anything more than a holiday fling, or a sure thing. She had made her decision and had happily stuck to it, but only because he wasn’t around. She soon realises just how hard keeping him at arm’s length actually is when he unexpectedly turns up just before Christmas. 
     
    Josh had always loved Joey, but he knew she never took him seriously. She had no reason to. Growing up, he only went to his grandmother’s family home in Pepper Bay for the summer. As an adult, he knew that the world viewed him as a playboy heir to his grandfather’s millions. This year, he was determined to prove just how reliable he could be. He was back, and on a secret mission to get Joey to fall in love with him, because she was all he had ever wanted.

    Ben and Aaron Cooper’s life had never been one of ease. Deserted by their mother and raised by a drunken father, they fought to survive on the Kansas farm where their father worked. Life deals them a horrendous twist when they are kidnapped by an alien trader and sold. Ben, the oldest by sixteen months, convinces the aliens who enslave them that he and Aaron will die if they are separated. It is the only way he can think of to keep them together and protect his younger brother. The next fifteen years prove to be the most challenging of their lives. They do what they have to in order to survive. They are convinced their time has come to an end when the freighter they are on is attacked by a species known for their lust for blood and killing. Evetta and Hanine Marquette are Marastin Dow; a species whose leaders thrive on living in the old ways where only the strongest, most ruthless are allowed to live. The life expectancy for most Marastin Dow is short, especially on one of the warships that all Marastin Dow, male or female, are expected to serve a mandatory service. Advancement usually comes by murder. Evetta and Hanine want a different life and work together to stay alive in the hopes of finding a life away from the constant threat of death. Life changes for them when they encounter two strange and unusual alien males. When the males’ lives are endangered, there is only one thing these warrior women can do to save them... run!

    Something very sinister is going on—Jesse smells it. He’s usually very good at rooting out the source of a problem, but is stumped this time. 
    Until another tight-lipped hollow man shows up.
