Vampire are about living forever, dying suddenly, discovering latent powers with age, and hiding truth through secrets marked by symbols only a chosen few have the means to contemplate without bias. A vampire's whole world is about understanding what mortals can not fathom, refuse to even consider. Red Paradise is about conflict within, and outside upheavel. It is about antebellum, paramour. Orgies and Cannibalism. The Novella is mystique, and challenges personal beliefs so it is a work that you will adore or abhor; however, people tend to be such little liars, dual minded beings thinking one thing while doing another because too afraid of what others might say or think. " When will you have an original thought of your own?" My characters will challenge.
