Synopsis

The Vampire Tapestry

’The gun needed cleaning. She worked on it as best she could without proper tools. It was a cheap 25-caliber gun...Yet she wasn’t sorry to have it. Her own hunting gut that she had brought from Africa years ago was in storage...She had missed the presence of that rifle lately. She had missed it because, she realized now with a nervous little jump of the heart, ste had became engaged in stalking a dangerous animal. She was stalking Dr Weyland...’

Dr Edward Weyland, handsome, intelligent and refined. Distant, cool, unreachable. Dr Edward Weyland, vampire.

His true nature uncovered by a woman he has underestimated. Dr Edward Weyland is on the run. Hunted by men greedy for the secrets they believe he possesses, he must call on all the cunning, speed and ruthlessness of this species. But Weyland must also rely on the mercy of a child and a woman whose humanity could eventually destroy him... ..

About this title

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."
