You've read closely, and you're right that the work is personal: it grows out of a real life, a real place, and the stories I've carried for years come from there rather than solely from invention. But I'd rather let the novel hold the personal themes than narrate my own. Some of that is privacy, which matters a lot to me; some of it is that real lives rarely arrange themselves into the clean arc a reader might expect, and I'd be making a tidier story than the truth if I tried. What I can tell you is that identity, family, and being seen before you're ready are not abstract themes for me. I think that in a book, in stories, is the most honest place for them to live. Thank you for reading so generously.(less)

Delightful! What a marvelous take on vampires, from their origins to our most tragic Twilight friends, an entertaining retelling of the history of vampires.

Not human, not tragic, not noble in guise,
But creatures of hunger with death in their eyes.

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
