No one is lonelier than a vampire who loves.
Lydia is an exceptional vampire-not only as an urban scout and skilled fighter, but because she's regained her ability to love others. While her family teases her for having crushes, traditionalist vampires would kill Lydia if they knew about her forbidden feelings.
But when an investigation takes her to Bolingbrook, she falls for the editor of paranormal tabloid the Babbler. Sara is one of the few humans who believes in the vampires she reports on- and, freshly heartbroken and devastatingly lonely, Lydia finds herself imagining things she shouldn't.
Then, enforcers from one of Chicago's vampire kingdoms upend the supernatural community and threaten Sara's life. Lydia leaps to her defense, but while skill and passion win fights, can they save a vampire from the greatest weakness of all-love?
This novelette is part of the Bolingbrook Babbler Stories and takes place during the events of The Rift. An Urban Fantasy Series set in suburban Chicagoland for fans of the Dresden Files and Let the Right One In.
In William Brinkman's world, suburban sidewalks lead to secret conspiracies, emotional reckonings, and the occasional enraged weredeer. He writes urban fantasy with a blend of satire and heart, offering humanistic views of the real world through a supernatural lens.
Since 1999, he's published the Bolingbrook Babbler blog, which inspired-but remains separate from-his fiction. One of his novels was shortlisted for a 2024 Indieverse Award.
A former Bolingbrook resident, William now lives in suburban Chicagoland with his wife and two cats.
