SoCal Sojourn: Valley Vampire?

By Marley Thompson

Elias Thorne, a centuries-old vampire, has relocated from New York City to the vibrant and sun-drenched landscape of Los Angeles. He finds himself immersed in the superficial world of Hollywood, mingling with celebrities and their entourage. While he once eschewed the traditional vampire diet, preferring fine dining, the Californian lifestyle has begun to subtly alter his preferences, leading him to an unexpected appreciation for local produce like avocados and couscous, even as he continues his occasional, pragmatic need for human sacrifice, which he recounts with a detached, first-person perspective. The story charts Elias's reluctant metamorphosis into an "ultra-modern" vampire, increasingly influenced by the prevailing culture, as he navigates current events and the unique social dynamics of Southern California, often reflecting with dark humor on past encounters with now-deceased famous figures he once knew.
