    About this ebook

    So it was that one day just after sundown she was in a meadow caring for a lost bunny rabbit, when a nasty old vampire happened upon her cooing to the cuddly creature. She was all bent over on the ground making over it when she looked up and saw me standing over her. Such a fright I've never before seen, and since I was still going through my cruel stage, this delighted me no end. I let her run, only getting close enough to encourage her panic so that she might renew her futile effort to outdistance me. I drew up behind her as she faltered from fatigue, and when she fell, I was upon her before she could resign herself to her fate and her panic was still in full bloom, her heart racing beyond itself.

    She was hot and sweaty, her neck salty and oily and smoother than a newborn's. I suckled her first, just to taste the deliciousness of her femininity, and then my teeth crashed through to the warm nectar, and all her life flowed from that gorgeous little body into old Alu, disgusting corruptor of all things fair.

    Lumi Laura

    My name is Lumi (Luminita) Laura. I'm the author of the novel Carpathian Vampire and a couple of associated short stories, all in the series Tales of the Carpathian Vampire. I was born somewhere in Romania, probably Victoria but possibly Fagaras. I have no record of birth, and my parents never seemed concerned about it. I attended public schools until I was to enter high school, but when I didn't pass the entrance test, they were going to ship me off to a craft school for a couple of years, so I bolted. That was four years ago when I was fifteen. For a long time I was on the run, then stayed with a gypsy woman. Being a fugitive is nothing new to my family. My father killed a man, and we were on the run for two years before they caught up with him. Now he's in Codlea Prison for life. My mother has moved since I was last with her and now lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. I moved there myself and live with my boyfriend. I've been reading and writing English since I was five. The Roma family picked up a laptop computer for me. I didn't ask where they got it, and they didn't say. That was a few of years ago, and I've not put it down since.

      One Blessing, Two Curses - Lumi Laura

      On the southern slope of the Carpathian Mountains, Highway 714 winds north through a valley and then turns into a dirt road that eventually dead ends. From there, a footpath leads on up the mountain where, visible to those physically equipped for the climb, a great hole in the side of the cliff serves as entry to a cavern visited by tourists in summer months. Sitting in the middle of this great entrance is a small monastery. Before the cavern and the monastery, adequately blocking the entrance, is a visitors' center, manned year round by monks of the Romanian Orthodox faith.

      The Ialomicioara Cave, as it is now known, has a history. Zalmoxis, the god of the Getae, first inhabited the cave but that was millennia ago. In more recent
