About this listen
Mark Hansen thought working as artist's assistant would be glamorous, especially if that artist was a vampire. Black tie events, witty repartee, gracing the pages of the local style section. Didn't happen. Not even once.
Jonathan Varga is an enigma. True, he's quiet, generous, and scrupulously polite. But he has zero social life, refuses to be interviewed or photographed, and insists he can only consume feline blood.
Why supermarket blood won't suffice, Mark hasn't asked. He's rarely at a loss for words - he can dish an insult and follow it with a snap as quick as you can say "Miss Thang." But one look at Jonathan's black-as-sin gypsy eyes, and Mark's objections drain away.
So he endures the perpetual grind of their routine: Jonathan hiding in his studio, swiping black paint onto black canvases. Mark hurling insults while he buffs the office to a shine with antiviral wipes. Each of them avoiding the other in a careful choreography...until a blurb in Art in America unleashes a chain of harrowing events neither of them could foresee.
As secrets from Jonathan's past are brought to light, it becomes clear that all his precautions weren't nearly enough.

Fun, gripping, and thoughtful!
JCP brings her usual humour and pathos to an imaginative urban fantasy world where people can contract a virus which causes vampirism. In a parallel with HIV, JCP compassionately explores the stigma and fear marginalised groups are subjected to. Mark Hansen works as PA to vampire artist, Jonathan Varga, and must take great care not to contract the virus. When Jonathan’s past starts to catch up with him, it puts both of them in great danger. I loved the premise, the execution, and the characters - Jonathan is ever patient in the face of Mark’s snarky attitude. Joel Leslie handles Jonathan’s Hungarian accent and Mark’s snark with ease in his excellent audio narration. JCP has updated and modernised the original story in this second edition.
