Lesson One: Bats Drink Blood. You Do Not.
I found this poem on the back of my Vampire Vineyards Pinot Noir bottle.
But first on this earth as vampire sent,
Thy corpse shall from tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race;
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corpse.
Thy victims are they yet expire
Shall know the demon for the sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy Bunga are withered on the stem.

Must feed thy livid living corpse.

Shall know the demon for the sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy Bunga are withered on the stem.

But little does Kressie realize that her dreams and aspirations could turn into nightmares overnight in the land of Steadswell where she is drawn deeper and deeper into the chilling atmosphere of mystery, darkness and evil. Embarking on a cloak-and-dagger journey Kressie finds her herself in the midst of HUMANS who seem to have an uncanny connection to her.
