Description
19th century Paris' most infamous party-girl is undead
and on the loose in 21st century New York.Â
Â
Marie Duplessis rose from poverty to celebrity as a
courtesan to the especially well-to-do before dying of consumption at 23 in
1847. Her life inspired a novel --Â The Lady of the Camellias, a play
--Â Camille, and the operatic masterpiece --Â La Traviata.Â
But what if when offered the chance for eternal life, she
grabbed it, even though the price was the regular death of mortals at her
lovely hand?Â
After almost two centuries of murder, mayhem and
debauchery, our girl is restless, and falls hard for a young man whose star is
rising. Should she kill him? Turn Him? Or wait till boredom sets in?Â
Blood Diva is a sometimes humorous, often dark look
at sex, celebrity, love, death, destiny, and the arts of both self-invention
and seduction.Â
It's a story that asks a simple question: Can a one
hundred ninety year-old demimondaine find happiness in 21st century
Brooklyn without regular infusions of fresh blood?Â
This book may contain language and content sure to offend
some sensitive readers.
