Synopsis

'A Tale of a Vampire' is a compelling anthology that brings together an eclectic assembly of tales penned by some of the most intriguing voices in gothic and supernatural literature. Spanning various epochs, this collection traverses a spectral range from the ominous shadows of the Victorian era to the eerie corners of modernity, harmonizing rich narratives with the grotesque and the ethereal. These works not only exhibit a diverse array of literary styles—from the ornate to the starkly psychological—but also shed light on the perennial fascination with the vampire mythos, capturing its evolution while retracing its roots in deep-seated cultural fears and desires. The authors contributing to this collection, including figures from the nineteenth to early twentieth century, are revered for their foundational roles in shaping gothic fiction and horror literature. Figures like Bram Stoker and John William Polidori stand alongside lesser-known authors who contributed to the genre's breadth and depth. Their collective works reflect significant historical and cultural movements, weaving a rich tapestry of folklore, myth, and terror that invites introspection on the human condition through the lens of the supernatural. 'A Tale of a Vampire' is an essential volume for anyone drawn to the chilling allure of the undead. It offers readers a unique portal into the manifold ways the vampire has been depicted across times and cultures, urging a deeper appreciation of each writer's narrative voice and philosophical underpinnings. Beyond mere entertainment, this anthology serves as a critical exploration of themes such as immortality, morality, and fear, enhancing one's literary landscape and promoting a dialogue between time-tested masters of the genre.

    Life hasn’t been kind to Zenos. He was born in the slums, and his dirt-poor background has denied him almost every opportunity. After an encounter with a healer, he throws himself into studying to become one and finally catches a break when an adventurer invites Zenos into his party. Zenos is thrilled—so thrilled, in fact, that he’s willing to put up with his teammates treating him like garbage. They fail to appreciate his talents and ultimately kick him to the curb, claiming he’s outlived his usefulness to them.
     
    Now bereft of money and out of options, Zenos decides to put his self-taught skills to use elsewhere and opens an underground clinic. Word quickly spreads about the brilliant healer working incredible magic in the city’s shadowy underbelly. Even the royal palace is taking notice...
     
    Can Zenos buck the odds and carve out a life for himself in a world that’s spit in his face? And can he save the lives of the patients who wind up on his doorstep in the process?

    Ekaterina has settled well into her new life as the not-so-villainous villainess of an otome game. Perhaps a little too well, in fact! On top of spending most of her time thinking about her dear brother, she’s become friends with the heroine, Flora, and the main love interest of the game, Prince Mikhail, whom she’d sworn never to approach. Ekaterina’s not too worried, though, because she’s on track to avoid the doom flags that threaten her family and the empire after successfully driving back the monster that attacked the academy. She’s ready to kick back and take it easy when Alexei drops a bomb on her: the imperial family is about to visit their residence. How is she supposed to prepare for that?! Not to mention, she has to deal with her grandmother’s remaining supporters and her first-ever exam season in this world! Forget about relaxation, Ekaterina has no time to spare!

    After her sister’s engagement to the crown prince is broken off suddenly, tragedy strikes, and Lady Francette and her family lose all of their wealth and status. Left with nothing but her name and determination, Francette moves to the slums and ekes out a living selling homemade pastries.
     
    That’s when she meets an unlikely new friend named Wibble, a talking slime who introduces her to the one and only slime duke himself: Gabriel! To her surprise, the unusually stoic Gabriel soon asks for Francette’s hand in marriage--and she accepts. Now she must adapt to Triste and its eccentric people, and she soon finds herself breathing life into the strange but endearing backwater.
     
    What was once a marriage of convenience becomes something much more in time...and—of course—expect lots of slime!
