In this radically reimagined vampire myth, the night hides many things...

Louisiana, 1850. A young girl escapes slavery and is taken in by two mysterious women.

Rumoured to be witches, the pair travel only at night, dress in men's clothing and seem to know others' innermost thoughts. But the girl sees the promise of true freedom in their dark glittering eyes: the promise to 'share the blood' and live forever. They name her Gilda.

Over the next two hundred years, Gilda moves through unseen spaces: through antebellum brothels, hair salons and jazz clubs, searching for a way to exist in the world. But can Gilda truly outrun the darkness of history and face a future where the lives of everyone she loves are at stake?

'A groundbreaking work of Afrofuturism before the term was even coined' Guardian

'A lush, exciting, inspiring read' Sarah Waters


The Vintage Classics Weird Girls series: Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of weird fiction with nine books by nine pioneering female authors. Bold, disruptive, chilling and enchanting, these tales of the weird are strange enough to get lost in.
