On the Formation and Habits of Vampires, and other creatures

Told from the First-person point of view, the protagonist becomes a vampire and must then learn about himself, and the creatures that he will have to fight. The story deals with the generally unexplained scientific side of Vampires and the like, explaining things such as transmission of the virus, reasons for changed traits, as well as introducing some new and untraditional aspects. (On this note, I realize that many may be displeased with my portrayal of vampires as unaffected by sunlight. Rest assured, this does not sit well with me, and I may very well change it later.)
