Coles This Body, This Blood: A literary vampire novel about how to remain human when you no longer are at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Anna never wanted to be a vampire. After seven years in hiding, she is finally safe—but safety isn’t the same as having a life.
When she visits her prospective friend Henk and his blood father Aloïsius at their isolated house in the Dutch forest, she finds herself confronted with unsettling truths about life on the edge of moral catastrophe.
What disturbs Anna most is Aloïsius himself: a practicing Catholic who seeks God’s grace while living as a serial killer, openly admitting he exists in “a state of mortal sin.” And Henk, who lost his faith decades ago, seems content remaining for nearly a century with the man who murdered him. The longer she stays, the less she understands the household around her, or herself.
Grounded in Dutch landscape and culture, This Body, This Blood is a novel about sin, survival, and what we make of the lives we never chose.
