A Gothic Political Thriller Serial in a Victorian Vampire Horror Setting - The impoverished people of New Babylon’s Pall go missing all the time. Some are never found, while others are found in pieces. So when Inspector Montgomery insists on finding out what became of a missing Pall girl, turned experiment at the University of Uppsala, it becomes clear that a mysterious party is none-to-pleased with his determination. And when William Willoughby Houldsworth, son of the Duke Houldsworth, offers to fund the investigation, uncomfortable questions are raised. Who is Victoria Campbell, and why would anyone care about a missing Pallrat?
Author, artist, and sometime philosopher, Carmen Dominique Taxer was born in South Africa with familial roots across the globe. She began her career with early scribblings of the dark and twisted, and this love of dark Gothic Horror, and equally dark Romance, has only grown over the years. Her first love was vampires, and to this day she cannot write without the words pouring out in the shape of roses, blood, and thorny kisses. Carmen uses the presence of vampires in a fictional setting to give voice to the struggles and successes of humanity, painting a portrait of the world that is both dark and beautifully highlighted with love conquering death above all else.
She and her husband and co-author, Richard T. Wheeler, have constructed a universe of these vampires with the affectionate title of Sanguinem Emere. All of these stories take place in the fictional city of New Babylon, a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, and desires.
