Carmilla
Second Edition
Isolated in a remote mansion in a central European forest, Laura longs for companionship—until a carriage accident brings the secretive and sometimes erratic Carmilla into her life. Le Fanu’s compelling vampire tale was a source of influence for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The Lanternfish Press edition includes notes and a new introduction by award-winning author Carmen Maria Machado.
Witches’ Dance
Hilda Greer's love affair with the violin began at the age of seven, when she witnessed the spectacular performance and breakdown of prodigy virtuoso Phillip Manns. Years later, the two meet at Hilda’s conservatory audition, where she plays the piece that started it all: Paganini’s Le Streghe, or Witches’ Dance.
Entranced by the character of Hilda’s playing and unable to resist the song’s siren call, Phillip takes Hilda under his wing. The two start a witches’ dance of their own, a whirlwind that sweeps them toward the International Paganini Competition. When their curtain falls, one will bask in the music world’s acclaim—and the other’s world will be shattered completely.
