A tale of vice manifest principally in three members of the Loredani family.

Luella Miller by Mary Wilkins Freeman a Review
Luella Miller by Mary Wilkins Freeman is a tale of vampirism yet not of the sanguine kind. The titular figure is a woman to whom many find themselves going out of their way for her benefit, working themselves to the point of death.

Bloodborn a Review
Bloodborn by Stephanie Kemler is a modern gothic tale of vampirism with a unique take on the children of the night, complete with references to Dracula.

Queen of Misrule
Two figures, one was a winged woman enshrouded by a clock of shadows and the other a leonine beast that radiated golden light, sat at a table craved from jatoba heartwood; atop the table, inlaid into its surface, was a chessboard wrought from alabaster. The golden beast played with white whilst the shadow shrouded woman…
