"Pain and pleasure usually have the same sound. The horror of seeing the heart of your lover on a silver plate is also thrilling. Deep in your bones, you already know. Matter to matter. Blood gives blood. You'd rather die than not eat away what you love."

Vertigo Peaks by Dion Anja (2024)

“Does it not feel good? Filling yourself with pleasures unspoken and undreamed of?” Dion Anja, from Vertigo Peaks (2024)

Love and Pain (also known as the Vampire) by Edvard Munch (1895)

Here’s the blurb:

An unexpected guest. A tempestuous liaison. A marriage falling apart.

In the eclipse of her marriage, Valerie’s days are cold and lonely. As Ethan Vertigo’s new bride, she suffers from isolation and hostility from the townspeople. That is, until an unexpected traveler appears at her door to seek refuge from the snowstorm—Mircalla Karnstein.

The mysterious and charming visitor’s presence is accompanied by feverish nightmares and itching puncture marks, and Valerie’s reputation is threatened when Mircalla draws her close with passionate midnight escapades.

As rumors of a plague terrorize the town and the dark secrets of Vertigo Peaks surface, Valerie struggles to reconcile her growing desire for Mircalla and her role as Ethan Vertigo’s wife.

When every love story begins with blood, does it matter who bleeds first?

Inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s timeless Carmilla, Vertigo Peaks is the first book in a sapphic vampire romance duology. It is best suited for mature readers.

I created this character simply to say "Let there be yearning".

[Over 40K words written for the first draft, challenging myself to finish this draft tomorrow.]
