Based on Victoria “V. E.” Schwab’s short story of the same name, First Kill will follow a teenage vampire called Juliette, who must “make her first kill so she can take her place among a powerful vampire family.” Juliette sets her sights on a new girl in town called Calliope, who is a vampire hunter from a family of renowned slayers.
The synopsis adds: “Both find that the other won’t be so easy to kill and, unfortunately, way too easy to fall for.” Schwab’s story was first published in the Imprint story collection Vampire Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite.
She previously described the tale as “Killing Eve meets Buffy” so yes, we’re logging off immediately after this interview is published to binge read.
