In the Scottish city of Glasgow, a serial killer leaves a trail of victims like statues. Fear poisons the city's residents, but Amalthea cannot afford to hide at home; she's too busy trying to scratch a living. When she receives a letter from a secret admirer, she suspects it's from a random creep who drinks at the bar, but the truth is far darker and more dangerous. Amalthea is afraid to walk home alone at night, but is she afraid enough? Daniel is self-styled romantic poet who pities the women incapable of loving him back. He hopes things will be different with Amalthea. Basement Beauty is a gritty vampire novella from the award-winning author of Starblood.

Reviews
Unique and refreshing tale about vampires. WaAR (Goodreads). An urban tale written in gorgeous prose, suitable for new adult readers as well as adults. Zoe (Goodreads). Sick, twisted and at times almost too much but never too much. I had fun reading this and loved the turning of the tables at the end. Wanda Hartzenberg (Goodreads).

Author Information
Carmilla Voiez is a proudly bisexual and mildly autistic introvert who finds writing much easier than verbal communication. A life long Goth, she is passionate about horror, the alt scene, intersectional feminism, art, nature and animals. When not writing, she gets paid to hang out in a stately home and entertain tourists. Carmilla grew up on a varied diet of horror. Her earliest influences as a teenage reader were Graham Masterton, Brian Lumley and Clive Barker mixed with the romance of Hammer Horror and the visceral violence of the first wave of video nasties. Fascinated by the Goth aesthetic and enchanted by threnodies of eighties Goth and post-punk music she evolved into the creature of darkness we find today. Her books are both extraordinarily personal and universally challenging. As Jef Withonef of Houston Press once said - You do not read her books, you survive them.
