Hautman, Pete
Sweetblood
There are only two races that matter: the Living and the Undead... and with every year that passes, the numbers of the Undead grow. It is inevitable. Lucy Szabo has a theory: Hundreds of years ago, before the discovery of insulin, slowly dying diabetics were the original "vampires." Lucy, a diabetic herself, counts herself among the modern Undead. As Sweetblood, she frequents the Transylvania room, an Internet chat room where so-called vampires gather to discuss all things goth. But Draco, one of the other visitors to Transylvania, claims to be a real vampire -- and Lucy's not entirely sure he's kidding.
