Lover, Predator, Vampire is a series of historically grounded Gothic novels rooted in the histories, languages, folklore, religious traditions, and cultural practices of Central and Eastern Europe. Drawing on the region’s ancient beliefs surrounding the restless dead and the later traditions of the upír and vampire, the novels explore the intersections of fear, desire, superstition, faith, sexuality, and power within vividly realized historical worlds. Their settings and cultural details are rendered with historical specificity rather than used as exotic backdrop, while the vampire itself is traced through folklore, literature, and its changing meanings across cultures. At the same time, the series is unapologetically explicit, bringing erotic desire, domination, violence, intimacy, and transgression into the foreground with an intensity rarely found in conventional historical or Gothic fiction.
