Imagine "Natural Born Killers" meets "The Catcher in the Rye", starring Fairuza Balk from "The Craft". The first book of a duology, "The Gothic Rainbow: Beginning Volume of the Vampire Noctuaries" is a story that ignores all the cliches of modern day vampire books. There are no warring vampire clans. There are no "Chosen Ones" destined to change the world. No love triangles. No werewolves. No quests to "cure" vampirism. No "elder" vampires that are the oldest and most powerful vampires in the world. No vampire hunters. No daywalkers. Focused upon the most dreary chasms of the human condition, the tale tells the journey of a young male vampire and his relationship with an abused teenage girl, Helle. Thinking he is only a spirit that communicates with her in dreams and Ouija rituals, Helle slowly comes to discover that he is very real and will change everything in her life forever. Later, the two will discover they have merely been pawns in a game much larger and sinister than they could have imagined.
