Description

Young priest Romuald falls for Clarimonde and finds she is more than a courtesan: a vampire whose desire pulls him from the altar. Sensual Gothic dread. Spoken as when vocation and hunger share one heartbeat.

Author

Théophile Gautier (1811–1872) was a French poet, novelist, critic, and champion of art for art's sake. A central figure between Romanticism and the later Symbolist and Decadent movements, he wrote with elegance and wit across poetry, fiction, and journalism. Writers from Baudelaire and Flaubert to Proust and Wilde admired his precision of style.
