Amy Chu Bücher

New York City wird von einer Mordserie an jungen Frauen erschüttert. Zumindest wäre das wohl der Fall, wenn die Frauen nicht queer und obdachlos wären, denn außer der Sozialarbeiterin Athena scheint sich niemand für die Vermissten zu interessieren. Ihre Nachforschungen führen sie zum mysteriösen Nachtclub »Carmilla« im Herzen ihres eigenen Viertels, Chinatown. Dort weckt eine junge, attraktive Fremde ihr Interesse. Athena fühlt eine unerklärliche und unheimliche Faszination gegenüber der Frau ohne Namen… und wird hineingezogen in einen Horrorroman, in dem sie selbst die Hauptrolle spielt. Auf den Spuren des genredefinierenden Romans »Carmilla« von Sheridan Le Fanu erzählen Amy Chu und Soo Lee eine moderne Horror Story über Identität, Obsession und Familiengeheimnisse. Dabei verschmelzen sie Elemente westlichen und fernöstlichen Grusels zu einer Vampirgeschichte, die zugleich altvertraut und vollkommen neu ist.
