"The Desolation of Silence" is a tantalisingly decadent tale of female empowerment, that spans decades. Clara, the main character, faces her gruesome vampire longings, exploring new dimensions of her un-dead gifts, both fascinated and appalled by her monstrously shocking actions. In the infancy of the novel, she is engulfed by the unearthly glamour of her new found immortality, until she tries to fight her dreadfully wondrous thirst for blood, a painfully pleasurable experience, which through self denial she becomes the ultimate master of restraint.
