  #WhatWereReading : Joe is very much enjoying some 19th century Parisian vampiric decadence, Sara Hinkley's The Red Sacrament from Titan Books. Riffing deliciously on the old Theatre de Grand Guignol (echoes of The Vampire Lestat), with a queer romance thrown in, and the imminent threat of the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. . #books #livres #Vampire #VampireFiction #TheRedSacrament #SaraHinkley #bookstodon #bookshops #librairies #GothicFiction #QueerRomance #HorrorFicti...
