Description
In this compelling debut horror graphic novel, a newly turned vampire yearns for salvation in the arms of the priest who uncovers her secret.
New Orleans, 1922. Cora Velasquez lives with her sister and her own haunted memories in a speakeasy run by a vampire coven. Unable to bear the weight of her damned soul, she turns to Father Orville Thibodeaux, a charismatic priest and the object of her hidden desires. Their veiled courtship becomes deadly serious when he discovers her nature, and proposes a way to both slake her thirst and save her soul. So begins the charged dance between an all-powerful but unsure young woman, and the mortal man who claims to hold her fate in his hand.
A gothic story of adoration, power, and manipulation, lushly told in Art Nouveau-inspired illustration.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A so-fresh-it's-still-bleeding take on the vampire story, set against the simmering backdrop of prohibition-era New Orleans, where the undead and holy men alike blur the lines between corruption and salvation. Cool, sexy, but infused with complex emotionality--I loved it!" - Ashley Robin Franklin, The Skin You're In
"A sensual and delicious mouthful of blood." - Madeline McGrane, The Accursed Vampire
"The art mixes gothic details with a charming, lithe Art Nouveau style and a muted palette of blue, pinks, and then a bloodier red. It's a playful mix of raunch and gore that readers will enjoy sinking their teeth into." - Publishers Weekly
"The lead may be undead but the visuals are brimming with life." - The AV Club
