Vampires-dreaded creatures of darkness. What do we really know about them? This twenty short stories compilation seeks to explore the secret world of vampires in a whole new light. What is their role in the Great Cycle of Life? Why don't they exist today? Written from multiple perspectives, this anthology explores the creation of these creatures, their awesome powers, their desires, and some of their most closely guarded secrets. The twenty short stories, each containing under a thousand words, within this anthology are split into two parts-the medieval era and the modern era. These stories address how vampires live openly and secretly in these different societies. Due to the graphic nature of certain stories, this 19,000 words anthology is recommended to readers age 15 and older.
