“[McCarty] is given full rein, and off he goes on a bizarre trip of the imagination, all stops out, no limits, hell-for-leather.”
- William F. Nolan, author of Logan’s Run
INTERLUDE WITH THE VAMPIRE…
As the blood-red sun sets over the Chicago skyline, vampire writer—and real life vampire—Andrew Bloodsworth makes his way into WOLF 99.9 FM, an all-night radio station hosted by the beautiful Bella Donna, Goth queen of the airwaves.
As Bloodsworth reveals how he first became a vampire and the dark secrets and desires of the undead, listeners call in to talk to the undead writer. Most of the listeners are vampire and horror enthusiasts who are overjoyed to talk to a real life vampire, but OTTO—the Opposition To The Occult, a religious right-wing organization—is also listening to the radio show—and they’re not amused.
If that wasn’t enough, tabloid TV host Harry Winger, who features equally outrageous guests on his program, wants Bloodsworth to appear on his show. Plus, The Amazing Kreskin, the world’s foremost mentalist, has just had a premonition of imminent disaster.

Excerpt:
The vampire looked up at the titan radio tower on top of the building. The sprawling transmitter pointed toward the heavens. It reminded him of the Tower Of Babel–that brought a smile to his lips. Babble, an appropriate thought before appearing on a talk radio show.
The vampire’s words would be broadcast on this 1,000 watt station. The show had a cult following primarily made up of the Goths, the children of the night, dread fans, horror freaks, doom and gloom worshipers of the Chicago metropolitan area and suburbs. The signal, especially at night could be reached as far away as the bordering states in Wisconsin and Indiana.
His agent, Curtis Ballinger, had arranged this gig to help plug his new book and sell some copies from his backlist. The vampire, however, was more concerned with his troubled soul than any book sales.
It was hard not to notice the neon signs on the side of the building, they practically blinded him. The biggest lights were in bright red that read: THE CHICAGO MEDIA AND RADIO GROUP, under that was a blue musical note with WXYZ 81.5 FM, a yellow WLIT 101 FM and next to that was green tubing in the shape of a wolf baying at the moon, with the words WOLF 99.9 FM blinking underneath.
“Who is the sheep tonight, who is the wolf?” he mused.
Tonight would be magical, and vampires were creatures of dark magic. He took one last drag of his cigarette, dropped it and ground it underfoot.
