The sexy, vampire love-story that destroyed all the ancient myths.Modern science tells us that blood sugars are released, along with endorphins, on the climaxing of both males and females. Governments worldwide tell us that vampires do not really exist. The facts revealed in this book, told separately by Maria and by Jeffrey, tell us that sweet-blood lapping by vampires, after puncture, is tied into sex as much as canine tooth growth is tied into the climax. Nighttime walking and the fear of the dawn, garlic and crucifixes are discarded to the Hollywood film bin as you read and learn not to drink alcohol to excess on your next foreign holiday. Maria, a small-island, seventeen-year-old virgin, dreams of a life on her neighbouring larger islands. Her move sees her willing to convert to being a vampire in her search for love from Jeffrey, and also from her female employers in this uplifting tale. The unknown government compiler that translated, from the Greek, Maria's papers, allowing this author to merge them, time-wise, into Jeffrey's English journal is to be commended as, without that work, Maria's story may never have been told. The true story of vampire life may never have been revealed." Explicit and erotic but without the usual swear words, which made this an enlightening, uplit, holiday read." "My heart went out to Maria, wishing she'd make the right choices at every turn." "My thoughts leapt back to the early seventies, to my raucous, drunken behaviour on holiday with the girls, and how I could have easily become a victim."

Maria has left her small Greek island and settled in a small Athens flat. Being thrice-bitten she is vamp and able to extend, by biting, the orgasms of her boss and lover, the once-bitten Jenny, who pays for Maria's flat, clothes and car.Young women, similar to Maria and Jenny are going missing from all over Greece, but not turning up dead or blood-drained, therefore, Jenny's vampire turning department are not yet involved. Knowing that a day will come when it's announced that vampire involvement has been proven and will require Jenny's immediate results, Maria is asked to look into things on her days off.This fast-paced thriller takes Maria to Italy (where she meets the dreamy Rocco of Mafia fame and his translator, the equally dreamy Francesca), back to Athens and to the Greek island of Samos. Love making scenes are explicit and involve those that are straight, lesbian and bi. This is a stand-alone novel and book two of a series. Book one, Greek Island Vampires can be later read as a prequel, if required. Book three, Greek Cypriot Vampires follows on closely from this novel.Stephenson Holt is a UK author and can be followed on Amazon Authors or at StephensonHolt.com or any social media described before and after this novel.

In 1929, the U.S. diplomat, writer and philhellenist George Horton (1859-1942) published a book with the rather curious title "Home of Nymphs and Vampires: The Isles of Greece." The eighth chapter of the book, simply titled "Vampires", remains a gripping account of the history and legends surrounding Greek vampires, commonly known as the vrykolakas. With the original book being long out-of-print, and with no digitised copy available online, Horton's small text serves as a perfect introduction to Greek vampirology for the anglophone reader, and thus merits its own volume. The appendix to Horton's text includes an early eyewitness account of the superstitions surrounding the vrykolakas on the island of Mykonos in 1700.

Crete, 1660. The Venetian-Turkish war ranges for years on the Greek island. In a rather isolated village the local lord summons all the proesti, the elders and most notable men. Among them is the doctor of the village who intends to reveal them a terrible secret: someone wants to destroy them all one by one. According to his opinion there have been many inexplicable deaths in their village the last months. He says with certainty that there is a serial killer among them. The man is so heinous that he also feeds on human blood. The others, of course, don't believe him. But then the doctor says that he even knows very well who the murderer is and how he kills his victims. The others want more details about the issue and then the doctor is showing them an odd book under the title "De Draculis et altris daemoniis"!
