Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Vampire Tapestry


Dr. Edward Weyland, distinguished anthropologist, is actually an ancient vampire, sole survivor of his species (NOT supernatural/undead). A nearly fatal attack by a woman who has guessed his secret starts him on an odyssey of discovery, wherein he comes to realize (to his extreme dismay!) that human beings are more than "livestock." The ultimate "vampire as alien" novel.
