Eli Wilde
“In the beginning, God created the heaven the earth and sometime later, the vampire.”
Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart

Eli Wilde
“She was within me like the blood was within me in each and every fibre. I talked to her, but she never spoke back. It was just like talking to God, I never knew what either one of them thought about the words I spoke. It did not make her unreal. It did not make God unreal. It just made me want to connect with them even more.”
Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart
