Description
New York City, 1899. When Tillie Pembroke's sister dies under mysterious circumstances, her imagination runs wild with the idea that the killer might be a vampire, thanks to Bram Stoker's latest novel. As a seeker of truth and a researcher, Tillie is determined to unravel the mystery of her sister's death, but her own addiction to laudanum threatens to cloud her judgment. As Tillie delves deeper into the case, she finds herself questioning what's real and what's just her imagination playing tricks on her. With the hysteria surrounding vampire slayings and the opium swirling through her body, it becomes increasingly difficult for her to trust those closest to her. A gripping historical novel that explores the blurred lines between truth and fiction, Opium and Absinthe is a spellbinding tale of mystery and intrigue. With its unique blend of historical fiction and occult mystery, this novel will appeal to fans of literary thrillers and anyone interested in the darker side of history.
