Immortality comes at a price. In plague-stricken medieval Europe, an alchemist who cannot touch a human lover saves a brutalised young woman with a dark gift she never asked for.

Three-dimensional paperback edition of Flesh Endures by Sue C. Bentley

The sex appeal of the vampire has been a given for some time, but it’s rare to find the archetype handled as seductively. A marvellously imaginative, lushly sensual piece of work.
