Overview

These vampires don't play by the rules. Late one night, a nameless woman walks into a police station drenched in blood and wearing a necklace strung with severed fingers. Calm, composed, and utterly unsettling, she claims to be the sole witness to thirty-three murders. As a detective begins to unravel her story, what emerges is far stranger-and far more terrifying-than any ordinary criminal investigation. At the center of her account is Herwig Roth, an elderly vampire priest unlike any creature of legend. Neither monster nor hero, Herwig exists according to a moral code entirely his own, dispensing judgment with the same measured precision that he takes blood from his victims. As the woman recounts her journey alongside him, a dark and compelling portrait unfolds: one of violence and mercy, faith and corruption, and the thin line separating justice from vengeance. Blending horror, literary fiction, and philosophical reflection, The Instruction Manual to Being a Vampire is far more than a vampire story. It is an exploration of loneliness, grief, identity, and the burdens we carry in pursuit of meaning. Through its unforgettable characters and haunting narrative, the novel asks what it truly means to be human-and whether understanding oneself is worth the cost. Dark, thought-provoking, and deeply original, The Instruction Manual to Being a Vampire offers a fresh take on vampire mythology while delivering a powerful meditation on loss, redemption, and the search for belonging in a world that often refuses to make sense.
