Description

Carmilla: The First Vampire by Amy Chu is a sophisticated and modern reimagining of one of horror's oldest icons. Inspired by gothic novel and layered with dark Chinese folklore, this queer, feminist murder mystery graphic novel explores identity, obsession, and fateful family secrets. In 1990s New York City, an idealistic social worker turns detective when she discovers young, homeless LGBTQ+ women are being murdered and no one seems to care. Her investigation leads her to Carmilla's, a mysterious nightclub in Chinatown, where she falls for the next likely target, landing her at the center of a real-life horror story. Athena is the kind of heroine everyone craves - empathetic, grounded, but also flawed. This graphic novel cuts a perfect gem from the collective unconscious, with an archetypal monster that's both deeply mysterious and itchingly familiar.
