There are such creatures as vampires. They are undead creatures that prey upon the living. They are of the damned. They seek not merely the physical destruction of their victims, but the spiritual destruction as well. This latter is of my primary concern, but it is closely united with the former. After death, there is no chance if further spiritual corruption- or salvation.

What a lot of rubbish, I thought with annoyance. Grown adults. Playacting. The rapping on the table would begin soon - wasn't that the ruse employed by those American women, the Fox sisters, who deluded crowds by their performance of spiritualistic revelation? I should get a lotto ticket. The Fox sisters were from my hometown and I just told someone about the Jell-O Museum.

This book is like The Hours, but with Dracula.

I put my novel aside (taking care to keep the title hidden, as there is nothing more irritating than having strangers comment on one's choice of reading material, especially when it happens to be the latest and most sensationalized work of a melodramatic Irish novelist) and stood up to do battle in his stead.

When you make me LOL on page two, we're doing something. And the novel is Dracula

Did someone say vampire hunting Dominicans?
