"A queer retelling of the classic story of Dracula"
This novel beautifully retells the classic story of Dracula with a queer reimagining of Dracula’s Brides, and is utterly spellbinding.
Following the first bride of Dracula, Constanta, the protagonist retells her story through a series of letters, reshaping a previously forgotten female narrative into one of power, glory, and strength.
Travelling all around Europe, the book examines the fragility and greed of humanity through the lens of the supernatural, exploring into the myths of vampires, S.T Gibson offers a new perspective on vampirism; the fascinating lure of an immortal predator.
The novel has a great amount of diversity, specifically in the LGBTQ+ community, shedding light on hidden desire and stolen moments throughout history, the first-person narrative giving a detailed insight into Constanta’s yearning and isolation as a bride of Dracula.
This book creates an amazing atmosphere including dark towering castles, ominous forests and eery storms, perfect for fans of dark academia and gothic novels.
