You've read all you can stand on the subject of vampires? Tales of darkness and death got you feeling more nauseous than terrified? Sick of the Mary Sues and the wishy-washy wannabes?
Then look no further, intrepid word explorer! For 'lo, in the World there is a new definitive guide to vampires (or vamps, as we like to call ourselves, sign of affection and all that...) and supernaturals. Their wants and needs, their thoughts and wishes, and yes, what we say, do, and believe.
Within these pages, explorer, take warning, you will find:
The Magnificent Afterlife of Mortimer Wordsworth!
Enjoy, mortals. Within the covers of this manuscript you hold in your hand or stare at from another glowing rectangle are tales of wonder, magic, and the supernatural. So delight in its contents, but beware, fair reader, some things are better kept in the dark.
Scholar, Bard, Guardian of Life and Taker of it, Your Immortal Host, Ever in Earnest Brotherhood,
Mortimer Wordsworth, this 21st Day of December, the Common Era, 2042
There are certain known facts about vampires. They revile change. They are obsessive-compulsive. They are illogical. They are cursed. They will burst into flames in sunlight.
They are dying.
With less than a hundred vampires left in the world, Yasuko is a rare breed. More importantly, she's a protected breed, preserved and sheltered thanks to a centuries-old mistake that the government wants everyone to forget. Regardless of what others hope, she knows that extinction is a slow but sure thing, yet a change of situation brings with it an awful and chilling reminder: the death of the vampires includes the death of her sister.
And someone is determined to make sure that happens.
