“Thrall has all the beloved dread and darkness of classic vampire tales, but also breathes life into the undead genre with a fresh and fast-paced journey of empowerment. You haven’t read a vampire story like this before.” —Kylie Lee Baker, The Sunday Times bestselling author of Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng ""A modern-day riff on Dracula that takes on the monsters that hunt at the margins of society and the people who enable them. Thrall is an exciting ride with a strong cast of women you’d bleed for.” —Trang Tranh Tran, New York Times bestselling author of She Is a Haunting ""Mahoney's book takes a moment of women’s terror—being unable to remember what exactly happened at a party—and forms it into a dark adventure about how your life can be devoured by a moment. A lovely, spooky story of fighting back, claiming your own life, and battling vampires."" —Leslie J. Anderson, author of The Unmothers “An urgent and thrilling story about how we all have to fight to become our fulsome, authentic, independent selves.”—Juliet Landau, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Bosch, Bosch: Legacy, A Place Among the Dead
