Dr. Alyss Carroll is a doctor in Austin, Texas. Working in the emergency room late one night, she is accidentally bitten by what can only be described as a vampire! This leads her down a path to mysteries beyond anything she could have imagined. Alyss immediately turns to her best friend Jemma Corazón, artist, folklorist and professional chef. When Jemma learns her best friend may have been 'acquainted with the night' she resolves herself to help even if it means every scary story she heard turns out to be true. Together they will set out to unravel the mystery. After all, if vampires are real, what else is real? Are ghosts and mummies real? What about selkies, chupacabras? With luck they can uncover these mysteries and perhaps even discover a cure for vampirism that doesn't involve a stake to the heart.
