Reactor shared a new excerpt from Caitlin Starling’s Milkteeth on October 14. The preview introduces a horror novel about Beatrice, a vampire whose responsibility is to nurture newly transformed fledglings through the first years of their existence. Beatrice shelters her charges in unused office space beneath her

patron’s skyscraper. Taking on a third fledgling disturbs that arrangement, as hunger and changes to her body drive her to seek help from a mortal doctor. The excerpt offers an early encounter with the novel’s mixture of caregiving and bodily horror. St. Martin’s Press is the publisher, and Macmillan’s official book

page also provides a sample; this new item concerns the dated preview rather than confirming an on-sale milestone. Read the official source. Image: St. Martin’s Press / Reactor; official Milkteeth cover artwork. Further source 1.
