Decades after its initial publication, The Vampyre Tapestry remains one of the most important, provocative, and beloved books in the genre, a considerable evolution from your avergae vampire novel. And Dr. Edward Weyland is nothing like your average vampire: not only is he a respected anthropology professor, but his bloodlust stems from a biological -- rather than supernatural -- source. The only member of a species of one, he has learned to form an uneasy empathy with his prey in order to survive, secretly thieving blood from his victims rather than murdering them outright. But even age-honed discretion can fail in the face of desperation.

Dr. Weyland is unlike any "monster" you've ever encountered, and his Tapestry is unlike any story you've ever read. You will never think of vampires the same way again.
