About this ebook
An eccentric, teasing yarn of a play from the multi-award winning author of The Weir.
A cynical and jaded drama critic falls for a beautiful young actress. In pursuing her, he meets a group of modern-day vampires who offer him eternal life - his part of the bargain is to feed their bloodlust.
'a delectably droll celebration of storytelling as striptease. McPherson's ear for detail is devastating' New York Times
