“Stunning, brilliant… Truly becoming one of my favorite poets. Ever.” — Ellen Hopkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tricks Some say that blood is thicker than water. Some say that water can turn into wine. You think nothing can come in between us. The truth is blood can be sweeter than wine. Sonata Vampirica traces the final days in a relationship between a vampire and his betrothed - from rapture to death and beyond. A novella-in-verse, each chapter alternates perspective between the vampire and his victim, a dialogue framed by the seven deadly sins. Sonata Vampirica has been hailed a landmark work in the new media literary renaissance. Conceived by award-winning author Samuel Peralta, this sonnet cycle was serialized online on Twitter and Google's Blogspot over the course of three months, to widespread acclaim. Evoking the modern classics, Interview with the Vampire and The Passage, the narrative sets a unique literary perspective, finding in the allure of the vampire a parallel in the reality of violent relationships, and within that framework exploding the myth in all its sensuality, brutality and sorrow. Classical in approach, innovative in its use of language and metaphor, Sonata Vampirica is a tour-de-force, a marvelous re-invention of the genre, an imaginative discourse on the extremes of love, the horror of abusive relationships, and the struggle for redemption.
