The company responsible for this discovery presented its findings after extensive follow-up studies on inmates of the Texas penal system a recording of that talk, complete with visual aids, is available online1 curious readers with half an hour to kill are refered there for details not only on vampire biology, but on the research, funding, and "ethical and political concerns" regarding vampire domestication (not to mention the ill-fated "Taming Yesterday's Nightmares For A Brighter Tomorrow" campaign). Vampires were accidentally rediscovered when a form of experimental gene therapy went curiously awry, kick-starting long-dormant genes in an autistic child and provoking a series of (ultimately fatal) physical and neurological changes. ![]() Highly recommend the book to anyone that hasn’t read it.
