sorry dude i totally forgot to reply to this because I’ve been on mobile for the last several days. The creatures in Blood Vivicanti take inspiration from vampires but basically because Anne Rice got weirdly territorial and said Becket couldn’t use classic vampire mythology because that was her thing or whatever, they have more science fiction origins. The not-vampires in The Blood Vivicanti are made by getting a blood transfusion from a comatose red alien upon which they receive a stinger on the tip of their tongue that allows them to see and retain memories by drinking blood with it and has the side effect of creating a venom which makes people orgasm.
