Do you feel like trying something dangerous “until it scares me?” Whether it’s roller coasters, mountain climbing or walking alone at night, we believe we can debark, return from the path we have taken and turn the key to our homes, safe and magically invulnerable. We think “It won’t happen to me.”

It is no more common for vampires to be psychopaths or killers than it is for any random person on the street. However, a prolonged, or very involved, relationship with a vampire can put a severe strain on the emotional and psychic energy systems of an ordinary person.
