Vampire Panic!

by Kate Mickere (Los Angeles, CA)

In 1890s New England, during a deadly wave of consumption, Lucy returns home to care for her orphaned niece, Faith, just as rumors of vampires begin to take hold. While Lucy turns to science for answers, young Faith is drawn to a preacher who believes the disease is part of a supernatural threat. As fear and folklore spread through town, the line between illness and myth becomes harder to define.
