Milkteeth - Caitlin Starling

"Milkteeth is a carnal, daring horror story of hunger and desire. It promises to keep you awake to devour just one more chapter. Absolutely intoxicating." Lucy Rose, bestselling author of The Lamb "Milkteeth is a feast of unnerving body horror; a wholly original take on the vampire myth, full of dread, complexity, and unlikely connection. I've read three Caitlin Starling novels now-no two are alike, and no one is like anything that came before." Christopher Buehlman, bestselling author of Between Two Fires--The only thing more terrifying than a brood's hunger . . . is its mothers. Beatrice is a broodmother. A vampire of blood and nurture, charged with guiding the newly undead through their first, transformational years. Beneath her patron's skyscraper, in a buried warren of abandoned offices, she raises her fledglings-two difficult, hungry children of the night. But when she takes on another, the balance ruptures. Her hunger swells beyond control. Her body alters, betraying its purpose. And the careful boundaries of her existence begin to dissolve. Seeking understanding, Beatrice turns to a mortal who might help her name what she is becoming. Yet their growing intimacy is its own danger, threatening to uncover all that's long been kept hidden from humanity. And in a world governed by secrecy, even the smallest revelation could prove fatal. To Beatrice. To her brood. To the entire coven. --"Fascinating, compelling, impossible to look away from." Kendare Blake, #1 NYT bestselling author of All These Bodies"A compulsively readable story cradling a powerful look at motherhood, filtered through the lens of vampirism." Kelley Armstrong, New York Times Bestselling author"MILKTEETH takes a fresh new bite out of the vampire lore, and in doing so spills onto these pages crimson mystery, mind-twisty plotlines, and incredible new characters. As elegant as it is brutal. Brava to Caitlin Starling!" Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void. "With its compelling plot, deft writing, and original premise, this novel will quickly seduce you, but be careful: it has teeth."
