    Summary

    In the modern city of Wisburg, Germany, 29-year-old Ellen Attenberger lives a seemingly ordinary middle-class life, working as a dentist in the nicer part of town. Plagued by a restless anxiety and boredom, she feels disconnected from a deeper, forgotten part of herself.

    Everything changes one Friday night in April, when her dormant psychic connection to a mysterious Romanian figure whose presence feels disturbingly familiar, suddenly reawakens.

    Their unexpected reunion reignites a deep and unsettling bond—but it also brings with it forces neither of them fully understands, and obstacles that threaten to consume whatever fragile connection is growing between them.

    Summary

    It is a sweet, innocent, embrace, merely comfort after her punishment, yet Ellen cannot resist putting her hands on either side of her friend’s face and pulling her fanged mouth against the welt on her breast, dripping a steady sluggish red, and moans in time with her friend's satisfied groan.

    How her little saint so often starves herself, such strength it must take to withhold, that great temperance Ellen does not, perhaps never did, possess within her.

    Summary

    “And do you think, would you be able to keep them safe, the girls, if I—”

    Ellen’s look of doubt, then, was what finally compelled her to drink from her friend’s chest. It was pure pleasure, the dense liquid washing down her throat, and Ellen’s sounds—sinful. Wicked. The right thing would be for all of them to refuse to drink, to give themselves up to God’s judgment.

    But Anna has to live. For her girls, Anna has to live.

    Summary

    Except she hates this mortal girl that she has not met and does not know. Hates her in a burning, mundane, mortal way. It’s simple jealousy, as hard as it might be to admit. She shouldn’t be jealous. She should be above that sort of thing. It is too human an emotion for what she is.

    It’s just—he always speaks of her with such feeling, such adoration.

    Summary

    'He will never sate your hunger,' the shadow tells her. 'You are not of his kind.'

    Those words sting, souring her mood. They wound her, striking deeply, because she knows the shadow is not entirely wrong. Ellen isn't like Thomas — or her father, or her late mother, or Anna.

    "That doesn't matter to him," she whispers. "He knows about…about my spells. Father has informed him as much. I have told him as much." In truth she has told Thomas more than she's even dared to disclose to Anna.

    'Does he yet know of me?'

    Summary

    Moonlight illumines just enough that Anna can make out some of Ellen's face, the whites of her eyes, their focus on her.

    Summary

    “Okay, seven years ago, he must have moved on by now. Maybe he’s just forgotten he never signed it, and he’ll appreciate the reminder.”

    There is a doubt in her eyes at this statement that fills him with dread, but all together he is not too concerned. You can’t just not agree to getting a divorce—that’s not what people do. Maybe some people, at first, if they’re in denial, but after seven years apart? Absolutely not. Because that would be insane.

    Summary

    Friedrich Harding descends into the damp, suffocating silence of the family vault to keep a silent vigil over the ruins of his heart.

    But the crypt is no longer a place of rest.

    In the rhythmic, wheezing breath of the darkness, the small, pale shapes of Clara and Louise stir beside their mother, their movements jerky and unnatural.

    As Anna's eyes snap open with a predatory hunger, Friedrich realizes that the plague has not taken his family—it has merely invited them back, and they are famished.

    Summary

    There is a curious air to Anna when she comes to find Thomas Hutter waiting in the foyer, asking for her instead of seeking her husband.

    Thomas does not blame her. If he were anyone else, he expects that there would be a layer of less than kind scrutiny as well, but he likes to think he has proven himself someone who would not come to call on his friend's wife for unscrupulous reasons.

    Summary

    The newspaper, today’s edition, with a long front page sidebar detailing the grisly disappearances and subsequent discoveries of the bodies of a family of German tourists, waylaid by something awful in Miami, USA. Suddenly, Disneyworld seems like both a much better and a much worse travel idea.
    “Bodies entirely drained of blood,” Herr Knock says, almost cheerfully, as Thomas studies the headline, wary.
    “For what possible reason?” Thomas asks, having heard of black market organ trading but not, well—
    “That is for the authorities and those versed in the truly macabre to clarify, my boy,” Knock says. “You, on the other hand, will be journeying to this same lovely city to solicit the funds of one Transylvanian count. He has temporarily settled in America but wishes to come back to the Old World, to retire here in Wisborg!”

    =
    It is the modern day, and Thomas Hutter has been the focus of a certain immortal’s obsession for many years. Sent to Miami on a business trip dictated by Herr Knock, Thomas begins lucidly hallucinating visions filled with blood and pain. Things come to a head upon meeting the mysterious Count Orlok in person.

    Summary

    Tiresome to be forced to wake in the infuriatingly bright day by the hounds warnings, to be forced to deal with and punish a disobedient servant. 

    And so he had a thought: If this servant was so insistent on intruding on his master’s rest, with his lack of acceptance of his own inability, then why not keep him from his own? Why not take from him his sleep?

    Summary

    “He took me as his lover, then, and now he has come back. He has discovered our marriage and has come back! He stalks me in my dreams, all my sleeping thoughts are of him, every night-"

    After exchanging a sack full of Roman and Dacian gold coins for the maiden’s token with the lilac-scented hair inside, Count Orlok uses it to enchant Ellen to dream only of her lost husband, as he prepares to travel to Wisburg and fulfill their covenant and break the curse of Nosferatu. He needs her to remember.
