Description

Ernessa is a mysterious presence with pale skin and hypnotic eyes. Around her swirl dark secrets and a series of ominous disasters. As fear spreads through her exclusive boarding school, fantasy and reality mingle into a waking nightmare of gothic menace, fuelled by the lusts and fears of adolescence.

And at the centre of it all is the question: Is Ernessa really a vampire Or is the narrator trapped in her own fevered imagination

'The Moth Diaries delves deeper into the neuroses and psyche of female adolescence than anything I've ever read. It is dark and dangerous, gothic, brutally revealing, regularly shocking and perfectly controlled.' - Guardian

'one of the scariest books I've ever read. I was home alone when I decided to curl up with the book at bedtime. The result was a fearful, sleepless night haunted by Klein's dark imaginings as every shadow appeared malevolent and threatening.a deliciously terrifying read, a supernatural psychological thriller.' - Herald
