Hello! After nearly two decades, I finally decided to put my knowledge to use and begin writing my Vampirology book. Unlike most vampire texts, which deal more with creating databases of the different lores and media available, I wanted to create a unique twist to the study and write less about what is believed and more about why.
In Carpe Noctem: Vampirology I will be exploring everything from why crosses might or might not harm vampires, what a vampire would have to do to live in a modern society, how a vampire’s body could work, vampires and sexuality, and much much more.
But it is also not just a book written by me. Each chapter is going to be split up into three sections. The first section will be a simple explanatory section where I discuss the theme of the topic. The third section will be a creative piece, i.e. a short story or a comic, that explores the theme of the chapter.
The second section however, will consist of questions from you. Your questions will be answered by me in the book.
Carpe Noctem: Vampirology is an interactive book that you have the unique opportunity to participate in! In each chapter I have set aside a section for your questions! How do you particiapte?

I will be posting prompts to give you guys pointers and hopefully some inspiration, but please, as long as it has to do with vampires, feel free to ask anything. The basic sections that will be in the book are:
What is a vampire?
Becoming a Vampire
Vampiric Appearance and Abilities
Living the Unlife
Protection against Vampires
Destroying a Vampire
Vampires through the Ages
Vampires and Sexuality
There will be chapters in each section pertaining to more specific aspects, but this is the general guide to give you an idea.
All questions will be anonymous, so remember, no question is stupid and no one will know who you are. If you’re wondering about something, there is a high chance someone else is as well! I will never turn away a question as long as it pertains to vampires.
Please help me make this book into something wonderful, it's been a dream of mine for many many years.
