Smarra, a vampire turned from their intersex human form during the Inquisition, is in NewOrleans to feed under cover of an expected yellow fever epidemic. What they don't expect is to fall in love with a Voodoo Queen... The Chimera is a poetic mash-up of vampires, zombies, incest, slavery, voodoo, and Greek mythology, all while taking its cues from Pushkin's Onegin. The Chimera and Other Dark Poems is a defiantly formal and surprisingly intellectual collection of gothic poetry that explores the patriarchal values that underlie the concept of monstrosity in Western art.

In the beginning, the world was bathed in an eternal darkness filled with terrible monsters and savage deaths. The birth of the first day arrived on the back of a fearless white raven who had dared to steal the sun and drag it closer to the earth. But the sun came with a price and the white raven was burned black by the salvation she so desperately flew for.Taking the story of the white raven, The Cry of The Ravven sheds light on the process of stealing our own suns - working through our traumas in search of a better life. Ravven White writes about her journey from the rawness of a broken heart - healing takes time, healing can hurt, but it doesn''t mean it can''t be done or that you are alone. Ravven offers you a piece of her sun in hopes that you will find the way to yours. Do you hear her cry? Perhaps it is your own..."Vulnerability at its finest! Ravven White''s poetry tenderizes the outcries on the suffering and struggles of the inner-self. The dark poetess''s raw, natural, and authentic voice will awe and render audiences to reflect upon the trauma, transformation, and rebirth of human nature and its condition." - David Grinnell author of Ashes

As the descendant of a centuries-old cult, Mina Coffin was never promised an ordinary life. The only things that keep her alive are drinking from open veins and keeping secrets. But truths drip from her lips like blood, and trust is a dangerous thing. Will falling in love with a man with killer instincts, being hunted by an ex-girlfriend with fangs, and a perilous accident threaten the peaceful life she built after years of turmoil? It will take a fight with her inner demons and the sacrifice of the ones who love her most to learn how strong she really is. Mina's journey is a long and gory one, but it's worth it. Even if she needs a few daggers and a lot of blood to find out. Sink your teeth into this fresh and exciting twist on vampire lore from up and coming novelist, Stephanie Kemler. Everything you thought you knew about dark creatures of the night fades to black as Kemler's novel poses a new question to vampire lovers everywhere: Which would you be? Bloodborn or Bloodmad? "I tend not to be surprised by books very often. But Bloodborn, Stephanie Kemler's debut novel, was that rare and bloody little gem that floored me completely. My heart ached for Mina Coffin, whose trauma lives and breathes on every page, and delighted in the ridiculously wicked Lucy... no matter how twisted she is. Or maybe because of that fact. It's really hard to tell. And the ending... well, let's just say that I didn't see it coming. From start to finish, this is everything you could want out of a gothic vampire tale and if not, then there's probably something wrong with you." - Christopher Stanfield, author of The Girl in the Storm, The Woman in Darkness, and Elegy "Thirsting creatures walk among us, born into devotion and blood. Kemler's debut is a strong one with brilliantly drawn characters humanized despite their otherness and wildly relatable in their emotions and constant struggle to navigate life's blessings and its curses." - Gillian Dowell, author of Paracosm, Found By Forbiddance, and Hello, Dove "A blood-worthy gothic romance, Bloodborn sinks its teeth into its sophisticated protagonist Mina Coffin and will fascinate readers. It is a triumphant story about transformation, love, loss, and grief. A natural page-turner that will captivate with the dark allure of Mina's world." - David Grinnell, author of Ashes "In her debut novel, Kemler shows off her world-building by immersing readers into a religion that feels like a damned branch of Christianity. I would recommend this book to any reader, particularly those who love gothic literature, romance, and paranormal thrillers." Grace R. Reynolds, author of Lady of the House
