Review Summary
Morgan is a screen writer. She moves into the family mansion to get some rest and die peacefully. Morgan has a fatal disease. While rumaging through the attice she finds a journal that contains stories of a vampire's life. Morgan turns these old journals into screen plays. She is so interested in these journals she has vivid dreams at night of the vampire. She even wakes up with actual bite marks on her neck. In Morgans secluded world Dante does exist. And he is in love with her.
Sherrie L. Jones, Resident Scholar
