Ishmael Sangrias 

Has a Problem

​

 

 He has inexplicably developed supernormal abilities. He’s stronger, faster and heals far sooner than is typical.  His memory has become near perfect and he has cat-like night vision. The women he sleeps with almost always experience multiple orgasms. That’s the upside.

​

The down side is an aversion to sunlight and a tendency to draw life force, call it Prāṇa, Chi or Ki, from the women he sleeps with.  This doesn’t hurt them; it just makes them sleepy, sometimes very sleepy.

​

Is it a blessing or a curse? Is it a disease or an awakening of natural latent abilities? If so, how did he catch it or trigger the awakening?

​

He was never attacked by any bloodsucking fiends. Nor did he ingest said fiends’ blood. He can’t turn into a bat and has absolutely no desire to suck anyone’s blood.

​

Only one thing Ish Sangrias knew for certain; he wasn’t a Vampyre. After all, Vampyres don’t really exist. As Scotty says, “You canna break the Laws of Physics.”

​

Ishmael’s story begins on his twenty-third birthday, June 6, 1967, in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, during the Summer of Love. Follow him as he tunes in, turns on, drops out and gets laid for the first time.

​

Believing in Vampyres is one thing. But, twenty-three and still a virgin? Some people will believe anything.

​

Everything he and you thought you knew about Vampyres is wrong. It turns out, one can become a Vampyre, even accidently, without knowing it.

​

It took him over eight years to learn the truth.

Ishmael Sangrias is a Vampyre!
