...a book I could get my teeth into

Just wrapped up my introduction for the chapbook The Kiss of Judas. The book should be available at several on-line bookseller sites soon. This is the 22nd volume (or is it the 23rd, I've lost count) in the Literary Vampire Series, each title of which has had a print run of only 26 copies (collectors rejoice). So, I am prolific,  but my scribbling has not proliferated.

My intro discusses a somewhat overlooked facet of vampire folklore, which is now seeping (yes, like blood) into pop culture.
