Why read it?

Another vampire one I’m afraid. But trust me this is so worth your time.
I read this for the first time when I was in college and well into my Goth phase, this book became my aesthetic afterwards. It’s a different take on vampires, explored through a few different groups of vampires. The characters are wonderfully portrayed and unique but what really hooked me into this book was the setting. It's got depth and feels like you could walk through the book and be in Missing Mile.
This was the book that made me try Chartreuse.
From Katie's list on The best horror books with child protagonists that are not for kids.
