Here’s the set-up for Samuel Peralta’s Sonata Vampirica, just $1.99 on Kindle :Sonata Vampirica traces the final days in a vampiric liaison – from desire to perdition. A novella-in-verse, each chapter alternates perspective between the fiend and his victim, and marks a return to the essential horror at the heart of vampire lore.
Evoking equal parts Anne Rice, Dante Alighieri, Stephen King, and Gerard Manley Hopkins, the narrative finds in the allure of the vampire a metaphor for the reality of violent relationships, and within that framework explodes the myth in all its sensuality and brutality.
Sonata Vampirica has been hailed a landmark work in the new media literary renaissance. Conceived by award-winning author Samuel Peralta, the cycle was serialized on Twitter and Google’s Blogspot over the course of three months, to online acclaim.
Classical in approach, innovative in thematic ambition, Sonata Vampirica is a tour-de-force, a re-invention of the genre, an imaginative discourse on the extremes of love, the horror of abusive relationships, and the struggle for redemption.
Sonata Vampirica was #1 on the Amazon Kindle Hot New Releases in Poetry, and was a #1 Best Seller in Poetry. Sonata Vampirica was also ranked in the Top 10 in GoodReads’ List of Great Small Press Books and Chapbooks.
