<p>Vampires Ruin Everything</p> <p>Irene had her struggles, but she'd always endured. The future was looking bright and she had it all planned out. Then she saved a man who turned out to be a vampire, and all her plans went out the window.</p> <p>This is a story about a girl on the cusp of adulthood who gets in over her head. It's less of a story about power or wits, but about will power and self discovery. What do the people who don't have the power to fight back do? How do they fare?</p> <p>Revision of an old story from 2006. There are themes of loss of control and powerlessness, as such the protagonist is intentionally weak through most of the novel.</p> <p>What you can expect:</p> <p>* Chapters ranging from 2500-5000 words in length.* Lots of introspection and examining motives and morals* Vampires.* Set in Western Canada, early 2000's* Despite the character being in high school, school is not the primary setting.* Irreverent wisecrack to whom nothing is sacred, and which I'd be mortified if anyone believed I condoned anything he does.* My departed pet cat immortalized as a cameo, but under an alias to protect her privacy. Especially from corgis and cat-haters.</p> <p>Content advisory:This story contains themes and depictions that may be disturbing to some viewers.There are scenes depicting graphic violence, kidnapping, death and dismemberment.There is a scene depicting drug abuse and human traffickingThere is an attempted suicideThere's frequent fear and psychological/emotional abuseThere are references to but no detailed depictions of drug overdose, rape, and domestic abuseThere are sexual themes and sexual assault (unwanted touching/kissing) but no explicit sexual content beyond that.</p>
