John Michaelson's biographical horror takes readers beneath the facade of vampirism and exposes the dangerous subculture operating under the guise of real vampires. Packed with first-hand accounts and commentary, Michaelson's descent into the unknown will come as a chilling revelation to those hoping for an orthodox vampire novel. *** I am not a vampire. For months I believed that I was turning into one, but Michael saved me from the lies and revealed a deeper, darker truth. I embraced the opportunities and lifestyle that London promised. But a savage attack took all that away and led me down a path of destruction and an abandonment of moral principles. As I recount the details in this journal, you will see that the City of London is as much the villain as the murderous elite lurking beneath it.
