Vampir*innen mit Gewissen, mit ihrem todbringenden Schicksal hadernd, inzwischen fast ein eigener Topos, aber hier so genau ausbuchstabiert wie kaum jemals. Die Hauptfigur Lydia kämpft um Respekt für Mensch und Dämon in sich und für sich selbst, die Suche nach Selbstausdruck, Zugehörigkeit und Identität lässt sich damit verhandeln und das Gefühl der Macht auskosten, wenn man der eigenen Bestimmung folgt. #2025reads #bookstodon #books #frauenlesen #bücherliebe #ClaireKohda

#WhatWereReading : you wait ages for a feminist vampire novel, then two come along at the same time!

Joe loved Claire Kohda's Woman, Eating from Virago Books & S.T. Gibson's Dowry of Blood from Orbit Books.

#WhatWereReading : Joe found Claire Kohda's novel Woman, Eating to be a fascinating & compelling take on the vampire mythos, filtered through the perspective of a young woman, trying to work out her place in the world and society, with the added impact of her unique heritage.

Out now in paperback from Virago.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Woman, Eating' by Claire Kohda - a rather different type of vampire tale 🖤
