VAMPIRES: The leech. "Dracula." Vampiric preachers. Fury of Dracula.

Vampires are evil beings that find their sustenance by sucking the life force out of their unsuspecting victims. They are not fictitious. They are all too real.

This week we will discuss the bloodsucking parasites that afflict us daily; the three sorts of victims vampires seek out and how you can avoid being two of them; vampiric preachers and the havoc they wreak on local churches; and a game I’ve never played that promotes an ethic I always promote.
