A hypnotic new art book edition of the original vampire novel. The book that inspired Stoker's DRACULA and pioneered depictions of queer longing in contemporary fiction, now elaborately illustrated and presented as a breathtaking slipcase-housed coffee table book. The renowned illustrator and graphic novelist Rosemary Valero O'Connell brings a tender and menacing to Sheridan Le Fanu's classic gothic horror novel suffused with unfulfilled romantic yearning between two young women. This sleek and magnetic new edition features a captivating suite of full-page and spot illustrations, as well as an original introduction from the legendary author of dark fictions Poppy Z. Brite. A stunning new entry in Beehive Books award-winning Illuminated Editions series, this volume is housed in a foiled, die-cut, sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.
