"I have been in love with no one, and never shall... unless it should be with you"


You know I love my gothic reads!! This has the eerie and dreadful atmosphere & imagery, the melancholy, and the tragedy.

This vampire novel predates Dracula by 20+ years and it has lgbtq themes. I definitely recommend to those who want a quick and gothic read!
