Darker Sides: a Blood Countess Story
53 parts Complete This book is one that I wrote in 2018, in my junior and senior years of high school. It felt very important to me at the time of writing, but it doesn't reflect who I am now. It's... not very good. It only sold like two or three copies.
This book was edited by my friend B. Fox of Fox Editing.
About the book itself, off the back cover: In 2014, the Blood Countess met her end on her farm outside of East St. Louis, Illinois. Her accomplices, however, had successfully evaded the law. Two years later, something sinister has come to a rural Wisconsin community.
Nova is a logged-in, nonbinary teenager with an interest in serial killers. Sam is a drug-dealing gearhead preparing to graduate. Meredith is a sheltered, redhead nerd with a tragic backstory. Taka is an edgy white boy with an interest in wolves and a need to seem cool. Can they save those they love? More importantly, can they save themselves?
And is that howling in the woods the local wildlife, or is it something far more dangerous?
CONTENT WARNINGS:
This book contains often graphic depictions of some pretty horrible things. If you are distressed by drug abuse, self-harm, suicide, animal death, sexual abuse, transphobia, racism, ableism, other forms of bigotry, or death, you may want to choose some different reading material.
The characters in this book are bad people. They do bad things. In the end, they feel sorry for these things, but their apology does not excuse their actions. It should go without saying that the views of the characters are not the views of the author.
