New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembrokes sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stokers new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillies imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it cant becan it?
A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she wont rest until she unravels the mystery of her sisters death. Unfortunately, Tillies addicted to more than just truth; to ease the pain from a recent injury, shes taking more and more laudanumand some in her immediate circle are happy to keep her well supplied.
Tillie cant bring herself to believe vampires exist. But with the hysteria surrounding her sisters death, the continued vampiric slayings, and the opium swirling through her body, its becoming increasingly difficult for a girl who relies on facts and figures to know whats realor whether she can trust those closest to her.
