At its heart is Cannibal House, a crumbling Victorian mansion lorded over by Old Wick, a mysterious wanderer whose arrival in Dark Rivers signals a change-a strangeness that seeps into the bloodstream of the town.

No, what unnerves Nix is the adolescent girl who has come into her house. Her name is Daphne, and she is a vampire. Daphne talks of Mister Brightbones, the one who gave her the vampire's kiss-that touch of immortality. A gift that could free Nix from from her chronic illness, giving her a second life, written in blood. But every gift has a price. Every choice changes the world. And as Dark Rivers teeters on the edge of annihilation, Nix must decide whether eternity is worth damning herself, and possibly the entire world . . ."Paul Jessup writes like the page just said something rude about his mother." -Jonathan Wood, author of Broken Hero"Paul Jessup is the ghostpoet of weird, writing words of unease that rattle like bones and whisper in dark corners."-Lavie Tidhar, author of The Circumference of the World"[Paul Jessup] uses language to great effect to heighten the more surreal aspects of his world."-Eric Lahti, author of Better Than Dead"Jessup's prose sometimes recalls Harlan Ellison at his most extravagant, invoking a lurid, elastic environment steeped in ritual yet with delirious magic as well as weird science."-Kirkus Reviews for The Silence That Binds"I am not sure Daughter of the Wormwood Star is actually a novel-to read it is to enter a sustained and fevered dream that is not spun out of plot and characters, but instead of madness, bliss, and passion.
