Vampires and other immortals hold a special place in the hearts of many. Whether it's the fascination with living forever, or the stories of their legendary sexual appetites, humans can't seem to get enough of the creatures of the night. Many stories have been told about these beings, but how did the very first one come to be?

In the world created by this author, the blood drinkers were actually descended from the Adam just like the mortals of today. What if the stories about Cain and Abel weren't all true? What if Cain wasn't actually cursed but given the task of protecting the Tree of Life? These questions and more helped to inspire the story behind some of the poems in this collection. Fascination with their erotic nature helped to inspire the rest.

Come along and join me on a journey through Cain's life and legacy as the very first Guardian of the Night.
