People know me as the Vampire Chic.  Generally, the follow up question to that statement is a plain and boring “why?”  Then I drink their blood.

Just kidding.

I fancy myself a kind of vampire guru.  There’s probably enough information in my head for an entire collection of encyclopedias.  I have no recollection of WHEN my obsession started.  I loved vampires before Edward Cullen was created.  Long before Bon Temps, Forks, and Mystic Falls, I found a little town called Salem’s Lot.  Salem’s Lot didn’t have an Edward.  It didn’t even have a Lestat.  Salem’s Lot had a Nosferatu.  It wasn’t pretty.  It was deeply terrifying.

But I was hooked.

Over the years, I’ve read more than my share of vampire lore.  I’ve devoured The Vampire Chronicles.  Twilight was desert.  I demolished vampire dictionaries and movies and websites.  I tremble when someone mentions the word vampire and shake when someone walks behind me in the dark.  Perhaps I know TOO much….

On this website, I hope to share some of what I’ve learned.  Introduce you to the vampires I’ve met in my life and the ones I’m still destined to meet.  Tell you about my love affair with Louis and then later with Lestat.  Tell you where some of the myths come from and share bits of news about upcoming events.

In my heart, I know that no matter what I do and what I know, I will never become one of these elusive creatures.

But every time I walk alone in the dark, I call out with my senses and my soul quakes with the fear of the shadows.  The Unknown and the Unknowable.
