Dark Horse Books and Berger Books have announced the third and final volume of the Carmilla trilogy, the award-winning graphic novel series by Amy Chu and Soo Lee.
Carmilla: The Eternal will arrive in October and will feature lettering by Sal Cipriano, as the previous volume did.
“It feels surreal to think, when I pitched the original concept as a trilogy to Karen Berger five years ago that here we are, actually at the end of this fantastic journey, said Chu. “I’m amazed and grateful that our take on this classic has resonated with so many folks.”
Here’s how Dark Horse describes the third volume:
Carmilla: The Eternal follows Athena Lo’s daughter, Ella, as she journeys to Oxford, England, where a mysterious university benefactor hires her for what seems like a simple research position. Instead, she is led straight into the heart of danger, weaving the Lo family back into the Carmilla’s treacherous web. As deaths begin to pile up on campus, Ella becomes entangled with a secret supernatural society of hard-partying immortals. And just as Athena once did, Ella is about to discover dark family secrets of her own.
And here’s a look at some of Lee’s interior artwork:
“This third installation to Carmilla is the final to the series but not the last of her name. I wanted the visuals to pack a final punch and turn things on its head. It was an honor to bring Carmilla back to life in this retelling and I’m so proud of my team for creating this universe with me. Thank you to the readers who followed through this haunting journey,” Lee said.
Carmilla: The Eternal arrives Oct. 7.
