Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Michael Schiefelbein's two previous novels — Vampire Vow and Vampire Thrall — have garnered him a wide following. Now, with Vampire Transgression, he brings the story begun in Vampire Vow to new heights, revealing hitherto unseen complexities in the twilight world of the undead. Victor Decimus is a two thousand year old vampire, having last seen the sun when he was a Roman soldier posted to Nazareth at the time of Christ. There are few rules that govern a vampire's existence but those rules are absolute: 1) Vampires are not allowed to associate with other vampires and 2) Once a vampire convinces a human to take his place as a vampire, he must leave the earthly realm for the Dark Kingdom. Now Victor has broken both rules — he's sired his human lover Paul as a vampire and stayed behind with him on earth as his lover. The two enjoy an intense life as vampire lovers, living in Georgetown and mingling at their private nightclub where little is forbidden. But their transgression is not taken lightly and agents for the Dark Realm are now on the prowl, looking to enforce the rules and, if necessary, punish Paul and Victor by threatening all that remains precious to them. Review:"After centuries of feeding on holy monks (in Vampire Vow and Vampire Thrall), Roman aristocrat-turned-bloodsucker Victor Decimus has moved to Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood, where he presides over an S&M club in what was once a Catholic church. Now known as Victor Boudreaux, the protagonist of this graphic gay-themed novel remains haunted by Jesus's romantic rejection 2000 years earlier. But Victor has found love with Paul, an artist from Kansas whom he transformed into a vampire, and the two live together in violation of the rules of the 'Dark Kingdom,' which forbid vampires to associate. The two defy agents of the Dark Kingdom and a devout Jesuit priest, whose lustful young assistant, Kyle, they ruthlessly seduce. Though Schiefelbein occasionally ignores the novel's internal morality and logic for the sake of quick plot turns, this spiritually-tinged potboiler's nonstop progression of lurid gay sex and bloodsucking scenes will titillate fans of the genre." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Victor Decimus is a 2,000 year old vampire, having last seen the sun when he was a Roman soldier in biblical times. There are few rules that govern a vampire's existence but those rules are absolute: 1) Vampires are not allowed to associate with other vampires and 2) Once a vampire convinces a human to take his place as a vampire, he must leave the earthly realm for the Dark Kingdom. Victor, unfortunately, has broken both those rules — he's sired his human lover Paul as a vampire and stayed with him on Earth. The two enjoy an intense life as lovers, living in Georgetown and mingling at their private club for devotees, a converted church now known as Dies Irae. But their transgression is not taken lightly and agents for the Dark Realm are now on the prowl, looking to enforce their will and, if necessary, threaten everything that Victor and Paul hold dear, even each other, to punish their transgression.
