Quiver [Kindle Edition] price

“The malignant spirit of sixteenth century sociopath Countess Elizabeth Báthory hovers over events in Canadian author Luhning’s suspenseful first novel, a modern tale of obsession and seduction. The care that Luhning orchestrates the tale’s events makes Danica’s discovery from the negative side of herself and others both believable and chilling.” (Publishers Weekly )

“This thriller is fast and wicked and dark. The writing in this novel can be as neat and slick like a stiletto between the ribs.” (National Post (Canada) )

A masterful debut thriller about the original female Dracula and an underground gothic cult reenacting her ritualized killings in present day London
 
In sixteenth-century Hungary, Countess Elizabeth Bathory tortured and killed over six hundred servant girls so as to bathe inside their blood. She believed this practice would keep her skin youthful and her beauty immortal.

Quiver tells the storyplot of Danica, a forensic psychologist who works at a former insane asylum-turned-forensic hospital. One of Danica’s mental patients is Malcolm Foster, who's imprisoned for murdering a fourteen-year-old girl. Foster can be a menacing but fascinating patient and Danica starts to suspect that Foster may are actually the top of the gothic cabal idolizing Bathory. Her peers dismiss her discoveries, while disturbing incidents begin following her home from work.

Soon after her arrival in London, Danica receives a mysterious note from Maria, a seductive archivist with whom Danica has received an intriguing and complicated past. Maria claims she has Bathory’s diaries that chronicle her relentless torture of young women. As Maria increasingly insinuates herself into Danica’s life, soon Danica is within too deep to notice that Maria’s motivations are definately not selfless; in fact, they may just cost Danica her life.
