Aphelion

Joe Arechavala returns with a story that answers the burning question: Why, exactly, would you WANT to be human servant to a vampire?

Thanks, BD. I didn't want to be the first to say that.

You do realize that throughout the mythology and history of vampires, there is a strong sexual undercurrent.

That's only because they're universally known to suck . . .

Oh, and BD -- Playboy has been known to publish some excellent SF . . .
