Thea: A Vampire Story

A teenage girl. An obsessive mother. A taste for human blood.

With vampires almost extinct, reduced to history lessons and rumours, single-mother Sarah's biggest concern is putting food on the table for her two young daughters, and steering them away from terrible life choices.

After drug abuse and a toxic relationship, Sarah's sixteen-year-old daughter, Ivy, takes her own life, forcing Sarah into a world of despair and alcoholism. And when Thea, her twelve-year-old daughter, gets her first boyfriend, Sarah's paranoia starts to consume her.

What if Thea is on the same destructive path as her older sister?

In a drunken rage, Sarah spikes Thea with vampire blood in the hope to keep her daughter eternally young, halting any chance of her following in her sister's grim footsteps.

Struggling to control her newfound bloodlust, Thea becomes a prisoner in her own home, and a total stranger to her mother.

Is Thea still inside, trapped and desperate to escape her feral urges?

Or is she lost? Cursed to an eternity as a blood-thirsty monster?

"The epitome of chilling vampire noir. Cements Jenkins' pre-eminence in the realm of terror."
