    About this ebook

    Like everybody else, Samael and Carmilla will live forever.
     

    Samael thinks eternal life is wonderful. Carmilla has her doubts.


    But when Samael finds himself alone on Mars for the Red Festival—at one point the party of the megaannum—even he begins to wonder: what is the value of time that never runs out?

     

    Download your copy of "Something New" today to find out what Carmilla discovered about eternal life . . . and what Samael decides to do about it.
