Carmilla never wanted to be a vampire. But the one who turned her says differently.
For over 100 years, Carmilla Lafond has wrestled with the circumstances surrounding her transformation. She longs to escape her sadistic maker, one way or the other, and knows that there must be something more out there than the life she lives. Hope looks far away until a surprising turn of events brings a new member to the Lafond manor, Margaret Dupont.
Carmilla and Margaret become fast friends, a vampire and her familiar. As their bond grows, so does their mutual desire to escape the Lafond household. When Margaret's attractive brother, Jean Paul, offers a way out, they take it, not considering what might happen because of their actions.
When all the characters need therapy, but it's 1856 France, can they find comfort in each other? Or will their sharp lives cut them to pieces?
A literary vampire horror for fans of C.G. Drews and V.E. Schwab, Our Sharp Lives will take you on a journey from Paris to Guernsey seeking self-discovery and vengeance. Discover what it means to turn suffering into strength, fear into hope, and find power over those who seek harm. Just be careful not to get cut!
