AMY CHU AND SOO LEE’S AWARD-WINNING HORROR SERIES CONCLUDES IN “CARMILLA: THE ETERNAL”

Dark Horse Books and Berger Books presents the third and final volume in Amy Chu and Soo Lee’s Bram Stoker Award-winning series, Carmilla: The Eternal. Written by Chu (DOTA: Dragon’s Blood, Wonder Woman), illustrated by Lee (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, Thundercats: Cheetara), and lettered by Sal Cipriano (Carmilla: The Last Vampire Hunter, Invisible Kingdom), this final chapter is a seductive, supernatural thriller examining themes of mortality and mother/daughter relationships.

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.

“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.”

Lee added, “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.”

“It’s been such a thrill working with Amy Chu and Soo Lee on their reimagined vision of the legendary Carmilla vampire novella,” said Karen Berger. “This propulsive and revelatory final chapter is a rich and rewarding finale to their multi-part tale of obsession, horror and the complicated dynamic of family connection.”

The finale to this gothic feminist trilogy begins on October 7, 2025 when Carmilla Volume 3: The Eternal (paperback, 112 pages, 6.625” x 9”) will be available in comics shops and bookstores. It is now available to preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Things From Another World, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99.
