'Haunting and seductive . . . I drank in this wonderfully sapphic, gothic tale with a sense of ever-deepening dread' - Francesca May, author of This Vicious Hunger

Told through letters and diary entries, The Brides is a chilling reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula - with a devastating sapphic romance at its heart.

'Come to me, and be mine for eternity'

1884. When Mafalda journeys to Budapest to care for her grieving aunt, her secret love, Lucy, hurries from London to comfort her, with chaperone and lady's maid in tow.

But lady's maid Alice, blessed and cursed with the Sight, is tormented by terrifying visions. When chaperone Eliza falls prey to a disturbing wasting illness, the women hope to seek the healing waters of Transylvania. At a nobleman's invitation, they set out for Castle Dracula.

In the depths of the forest, miles from civilization, their host reveals his true intentions; a monstrous ambition which will tear the women apart.

And not all of them will survive.

'Dracula's worthy successor . . . chills and delights in equal measure' - Johanna Van Veen, author of Blood on Her Tongue

Perfect for fans of Hungerstone by Kat Dunn and The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
