“The story is about a young girl whose parents die. She hits the road, drifts around, rootless, and she gets attacked by these two men. But when she gets attacked, her vampiric powers suddenly manifest, and she kills them. From there she drifts through America, going from town to town all through the Midwest. She’ll shack up with someone for a while, groom them, and use them as a lover and maybe someone to feed on before she kills them and moves on to her next. One of her victims, who she left barely alive, takes on the task of hunting her down and bringing her to justice. But! There’s a funny trick in this book where there’s a paragraph or two at the end of every chapter from someone else’s point of view, and you realize that she might not actually be a vampire. She might just be a serial killer who’s delusional, and thinks she’s a vampire. And it’s really left up to the reader. I’ve talked to Elizabeth Engstrom, so I know what she thinks, and I know what I think; but it’s left up to the reader, in the book.” Read more...
