Vampires around the world are coming forth to remind humans they are not romantic fantasies to be sought, nor are they souls that can be redeemed. These are the stories they must tell. <br><br>Maryanne just wanted to explore the world and learn everything there was to it, as she had become an anthropology doctorate candidate at Oxford University in the 1930s. Accompanying her research professor, she traveled to the Akan Empire to do field research, but little did she know of the consequences of stepping into the jungle at night. <br><br>This novella is independent. None of the A World of Vampire Series need to be read in order.
