Plot Summary of Carmilla: The Last Vampire Hunter
Before Dracula, before Nosferatu, there was... CARMILLA. In the second volume of this feminist tale of murder, monsters, and mystery layered with dark Chinese folklore, social worker turned vampire hunter Athena Lo has just lost everyone she loves — and it's all her fault. Hoping to put her life back together, Athena travels to San Francisco's Chinatown on a quest to uncover the secrets of her mysterious family history. But her journey escalates into a nightmare when she's violently introduced to a new, ruthless gang of Asian American vampires and its unlikely leader, who hold shocking truths. As she navigates this dangerous territory, Athena can't escape the ghost of Carmilla... and neither can the vampires. Athena must decide — whose side is she on? Inspired by the gothic novel that started the vampire genre, this queer, feminist murder mystery graphic novel is a tale of identity, obsession and fateful family secrets.
