Really interesting historical vampire fiction which predated Dracula by 25 years. It adapted well into an audio play, even if the sexy lesbian vampire stuff (in 1872 no less!) was a little breathless and silly.
Moderate: Blood
I wouldn’t say this book contains homophobia per se, but certainly the author’s portrayal of lesbian vampirism isn’t the most sensitively portrayed for modern lgbt audiences
