In Asphodel, we travel through the centuries, from the 18th century to the present day, at the side of a vampire who - a macabre poet - tells us about seven murders of women who have marked his life. Why does he kill them, them in particular? And what is this mysterious entity that comes to life in the course of the lines? By putting us in the shoes of a fantastic monster, the novel tackles feminist themes and pushes us to think about the origins of evil.
