Second Edition, stated. Two burgundy binding with red cloth; gilt-stamped lettering; all edges marble pattern 345 pp. Publisher's adverts laid in. The protagonist of the book, Harriet Brandt, is a mixed-race psychic vampire who kills unintentionally. The novel follows Harriet after she leaves a Jamaican convent for Europe, and her ill-fated attempts to integrate with Victorian society. Academics highlight the novel's treatment of race, eugenics, and social class. Marryat's conception of vampires as medical rather than supernatural has also elicited interest. Very interesting early (or first) Novel of a Mixed-race Vampire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good+: A firm copy with mild wear to corners.
