Carmilla: The Girl Who Feeds

A dark academia vampire romance where history is a curse, and love is a death sentence.

At Blackthorn Academy, secrets are buried deep—sometimes in crypts.

📖 Laura Kass is a seventeen-year-old true-crime podcaster obsessed with the “sleeping sickness” deaths haunting her haunted boarding school. But when her new roommate, Carmilla Vârcolac, arrives with Victorian perfume, unsettling habits, and a choker she never removes, Laura’s investigation takes a deadly turn.

Because Carmilla isn’t just a girl with perfect eyeliner and a taste for midnight disappearances. She’s a vampire bound to a 200-year-old curse.

🩸 The Red Widow—Blackthorn’s ghostly headmistress—plans to resurrect herself by stealing Laura’s body. The same way she did to Lucia Cassel, Laura’s ancestor… and Carmilla’s first love.

As students begin sleepwalking into the woods, whispering the Widow’s name, Laura has two choices: solve the mystery before the solstice, or become its next victim.

But when the only person who can help her is a vampire who might love her, might kill her, and definitely looks good doing both—history isn’t the only thing at risk of repeating.
