For many decades now, what little human contact he's allowed himself has been brief, frenzied and bloody, and has always ended in a shallow grave in his cellar. There's a name for what he is, but he prefers not to use it: it is simple enough that he has his needs, and that when they become unbearable, he fulfils them. In his long and lonely life, he has met only one other like him--the woman he still yearns for, the one who made him what he is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen a girl arrives, searching for him. She has his last name, and bears an uncanny resemblance to that woman, awakening memories Tillinghast had long suppressed; the connection he feels for her is immediate and overwhelming. She's also sick, very sick, with symptoms Tillinghast recognizes all too well...and only he knows how to cure her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the real events of the New England vampire panic of the nineteenth century, TILLINGHAST is a novel to sink your teeth into: at once a gripping, atmospheric horror that turns the classic monster narrative on its head; a literary work of exceptional prose about giving into--or resisting--our impulses; and a remarkably moving father-daughter story that will leave you unexpectedly hopeful--and rooting, despite your every instinct, for the killers.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-13: 9798217060825\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Cavenagh, Clare\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Viking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Jun 2026)","offer_id":46100319011013,"sku":"9798217060825","price":24.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9798217060825.jpg?v=1776648972","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/tillinghast","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
