Description
Written in the bold tradition of participatory journalism, Ramsland's extraordinary investigative memoir takes you directly into the world of the urban vampire: a transgressive arena of dark energy and heat that overlaps with S&M, Bondage, and Goth cults. Here you will learn the distinctions between Bloodists, Classicals, Nighttimers, and Inheritors. You will visit the members-only clubs where "liquid electricity" (blood) is the favored currency of intimate exchange, and explore the "feeding circles" that avoid the risk of AIDS. You will hang out with lovers whose sex toy is a razor and meet others who shun normality as we would shun the secret practices they hold sacred.
