Hello, Mr. Shan, I'm Klaudia from Hungary, and I would like to ask about the vampires' society. Since I started to have an interest in the Japanese culture I started to see a lots of common things between the vampires in your books and the morals of samurais and the morals of the Japanese society. Have I seen behind the curtains and catched your inspiration?
