The City of Perspiring Dreams (1/3)
At an imaginary Cambridge College in an imagined 1970’s urbane fixer/grifter Reggie the Vamp meets friend (and blood supplier) the Veteran ‘Smith’ … that’s THE Smith. We find out about the ‘Piers Verde Dining Club’, an incursion by werewolves leading to a call for vampire solidarity, and Wynne the Fae demanding that ‘those werewolves are mine’ … then … stuff happens … including a lost sword, a walking statue, and a change in the wine list …

The clock is ticking so Wynne the Fae uses a glamour to steal some College silver, while Smith the Veteran and Janette the Wizard (sorry, Witch) make final preparations for casting the bullets Reggie the Vamp promised Jovita in time for her face-off with the Werewolf biker gang on the edge of Cambridge. There’s also a move for a potential victim of the Piers Verde Dining Club, ingratiating Ghouls, and foul language … then it all kicks off so Wynne gets a chance for revenge, Reggie shows his qualified loyalty to the other vampires, Smith displays his care, and Janette … well Janette goes rogue and nearly gets her throat torn out …
