In 1981, effective antiretroviral therapies for AIDS were not yet available. In this fictional narrative, the protagonist, Cian Lorcán Grayson, ultimately becomes a vampire. He encounters Ekonya Kanyinda, a Congolese man whose father and he contracted Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) from infected chimpanzee blood during a hunting expedition. Cian differs from traditional vampires; as a Wiccan born of both the Horned God and the Triple Goddess, he can walk in daylight and is unaffected by holy items, garlic, or silver. He also casts a reflection in mirrors, distinguishing him from other vampires who consequently despise him. To stave off his transformation, Cian survives on pig’s blood to keep him from turning a vampire. Ekonya and Cian relocate from Los Angeles, where their story began at the Two Minotaur Horns, a gay bar pulsing with secrets. But after a single bite, Ekonya’s SIV becomes HIV, and AIDS soon follows. Cian must navigate a world of vampires; he encounters the cunning Belladonna and Damocles van Aristophanes, whose motives are as dark as the night. This is where their tale truly begins. See less
