Book Discussion | Carmilla by Amy Chu, and Soo Lee


Join Karen Berger, Amy Chu, and Soo Lee as they discuss their Bram Stoker Award nominated graphic novel series Carmilla. At the height of the Lunar New Year, an idealistic social worker turns detective when she discovers young, homeless LGBTQ+ women are being murdered and no one, especially the police, seems to care. A series of clues points her to Carmilla's, a mysterious nightclub in the heart of her neighborhood, Chinatown. There she falls for the next likely target, landing her at the center of a real-life horror story--and face-to-face with illusions about herself, her life, and her hidden past. Inspired by the gothic novel that started a genre, this queer vampire murder mystery is a tale of identity, obsession and fateful family secrets by fan-favorite writer Amy Chu (Red Sonja, Netflix's DOTA: Dragon's Blood) and fine-line illustrator Soo Lee (Ash & Thorn).  At this event, Carmilla creators Amy Chu and Soo Lee will discuss the series with its editor Karen Berger.
