Sam arrives in Tracy's life at just the right moment - she has hit the bottom. She's attempted suicide, her marriage is dead and her days are spent in the battle zone of the psychiatric wards where she is seduced by a vampire.

'Vamp is a powerful and thrilling tale which challenges the stories told about women by mythology, religion, literature and psychoanalysis. It is about anger, family and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. But it is also a compelling exploration of the potential of love and responsibility...' (publisher's blurb)
