By day they are accountants, secretaries, lawyers. But by night, they transform into creatures of the darkness, purveyors of the surreal where flesh and fantasy meet.
They are vampires.
Going beyond the scariest imaginings of Anne Rice, clinicalpsychologist and journalist Katherine Ramsland takes you on a mesmerizing, personal tour deep inside the little known yet growing "vampyre" subculture that exists today in cities like your own. Discover a society you never believed existed. Find out what these people do, and why they do it. Visitmembers-only clubs where "liquid electricity"--blood--ist the favored currency of intimate exchange, and share in "feeding circles." Meet lovers whose sex toys are razors and straps and others who reject normality the way many denounce the practices they hold sacred. You may think you've seen or heard everything. You may even think you're unshockable. "You're wrong."
