On the trail of the vampire of Bute

What more is there to be said about the allure of vampires, a subject that must surely have been wrung dry by now? In the hands of Genevieve Jagger, it turns out, quite a lot. This strikingly accomplished debut novel is a fresh, psychologically astute take, narrated by a troubled, possibly neurodivergent, young woman scarred by a strict Catholic upbringing and family trauma who befriends a charismatic older man claiming to be a creature of the night.
