title: Vampires Are Us: Understanding Our Love Affair with the Immortal Dark Side
author:  Margot Adler 
description: "Insightful and compellingas a tool for understanding the drift of human culture over the last two centuries. The ever-morphing vampire, powerful and at the same time significantly flawed, invites us to reflect on our own life as we seek control, community, and some sense of self-worth." -<b>J. Gordon Melton</b>, Distinguished Professor of American Religious History, Baylor University<br /><br />"Margot Adler's new book does what I most appreciate in a piece of writing: it makes me look at the world differently. Vampires became a lens to help us examine our attitudes toward sex, death, and how we are sucking the life-blood out of the earth. She explores her personal fascination and our cultural obsession with vampires with humor, insight, and great emotional honesty. An illuminating and fascinating work!" -<b>Starhawk</b>, author of <i>The Spiral Dance</i> and <i>The Fifth Sacred Thing</i><br /><br />"Reading this was pure pleasure. First rate!" -<b>Whitley Strieber</b>

  Computer expert Carly is tired, burned out and ready to downgrade her hectic

  farm house in the middle of Wyoming. Her new house is full of old-time charm,
  and it comes with an unexpected surprise. Dmitri Belakov.
  
  Dmitri, a Master Vampire, had an agreement with the former owners of the house
  to let him live peacefully beneath it in his hidden lair. Now there’s a new
  owner, and he may have to risk revealing his presence to negotiate a new
  contract. He moves cautiously because if she won’t deal, he’ll have to kill
  her once she knows his secret. Carly’s mind is unusually hard to influence,
  but he makes inroads when she is asleep.
  
  Their shared dreams are more erotic than he ever expected, firing a hunger
  within him to know her feel and taste in the flesh. But doing so risks far too
  much. Even if Carly can’t deny
