From GuysLitWire
The book follows the history of a guy – let's call him William, since that's his name – who is turned into a vampire by a lovely lady vampire named Katherine whilst aboard a ship to the New World (to be specific, The Mayflower – in case you were wondering about those onboard deaths, all is now revealed – also, this makes the book perfect for November, what with Thanksgiving just around the corner):
One the deck at night
as thousands of stars shine down,
I see her, alone.
A married woman,
undeniably stunning;
likes to flirt with me.
Like a siren song,
each night she calls me to her
and I am in love.
In the glassy sea,
she, I, and the moon reflect.
Hers is a bit . . . off.
Katherine bites William, he bites back, and there are many haiku about his lust for blood, as well as Katherine's explanation of the "rules", which include "tanning is bad". Also included? This tidbit:
She explains to me
that wood through my heart will kill.
I don't think that's new.
Ahahaha!
