Synopsis
Dr. Edward Lewis Weyland is an anthropologist, a professor and student of man. His interest in this field is, however, more than academic, for he is a vampire, not a spirit creature but a perfectly evolved predator: strong, swift, cunning, and aloof. However, when Weyland stalks a woman who proves a more adept hunter than himself, he winds up critically wounded and humbled, and obliged to make a journey toward the greatest threat he's faced yet: empathy for the very creatures he must feed on to survive.

Review
"Don't let the title fool you: this is not another weary novel about Dracula, his imitators, or his heirs. Dr. Edward Weyland is no Transylvanian count, he is an anthropology professor, an explorer of comparative cultures; he is also that most ultimate of predators, a vampire. . . . Savage and intense and brilliantly satisfying. . . . rich and impressive. . . . works on many levels--as pure adventure, as social description, as psychological drama, and as a passionate exploration of the web that links instinct, morality, and culture. . . . a serious, startling, and revolutionary work."
