She has not aged in forty years. Carla Hall grew up in the house at the end of Hall Street, a cold Victorian home full of locked doors, missing people, strange rules, and a mother who never seemed to change. Margaret Eleanor Hall was elegant, controlled, beautiful, and impossible to understand. She did not eat. She did not sleep like other women. She kept the cellar locked. She kept the attic locked. She watched everything. For most of Carla's life, these things were simply the shape of home. Then, at twenty nine, Carla finds the keys. What waits beneath the house is more than a family secret. It is an archive of blood, photographs, journals, soil from another country, and evidence that Margaret Hall has been alive far longer than any mother should be. The woman who raised Carla is not merely cruel, strange, or controlling. She is something ancient. Something patient. Something that has survived by turning love itself into a feeding ground. My Mother Is a Vampire is a dark gothic novel of family secrets, blood hunger, psychological dread, and survival. Told as Carla's own account of what she discovered and what she was forced to do, it moves through childhood terror, hidden rooms, missing men, old folklore, impossible evidence, and the unbearable horror of realising that the monster was never outside the house. It was waiting at the dinner table. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric vampire fiction, domestic gothic horror, female survival stories, haunted family houses, dark secrets, unsettling mothers, and supernatural thrillers with a slow, cold sense of dread.
