Bill,

I loved the vampire twist. I could feel the seduction of Empedia. Menippus couldn't help himself. The words dripped like blood off the page.

That was wonderful. The empusa is featured in my series of novellas, The Sibyliad, (especially book one) although my interpretation is different. If you're curious, book one is free at books.thaddeusthomas.com

Nice blending of old mythology with the whole vampire thing.

Thanks!

Though I changed the ending of the story, the original source already had the somewhat vampiric details, though I think the use of "vampire" in the translation is somewhat anachronistic.
