It’s the start of October in Haydon Cliff, and Harker “Harry” Bellencourt is preparing for a quiet evening at his new home on Eerie Lane, mysterious next door neighbor notwithstanding, when his sort of ex-boyfriend, Abraham “Kel” Kelsing appears asking for another chance. As an unusual thunder storm rages outside, Harry finds himself giving into Kel’s persuasive charms. But then he’s forced to break off his bourgeoning relationship with Luke Seward that very night when Luke appears at his door, and later Harry is convinced he heard Luke scream.<br><br>When Harry learns Luke is seeing the neighbor next door, he becomes more concerned, as Luke seems to be acting strangely, and then Harry witnesses his neighbor possibly committing a crime, he begins to expect the impossible ... his neighbor might be a vampire.

My Neighbor the Vampire

Harry knew, of course, he was not in a horror movie. And that it was even more likely that his neighbor was no ghoul. Or in the case of Harry+IBk-s suspicious mind a+ICY-vampire. Even thinking it made him laugh at himself. Stupid.


He turned and walked back to his own home to get ready for work before he was late.


It was a couple of evenings later when Harry was getting out of his car parked in the driveway that he noticed a car pull up directly in front of his neighbor+IBk-s home. It appeared to be one of those car services, because the back door opened, a woman in a short skirt and high heels got out, and waved at the driver, who drove away.


Harry watched her go up the path to the front door. Unlike his knock, hers was answered, and she disappeared into the house.


And also didn+IBk-t consider himself exclusive with Luke. None of his business, Harry knew.
