The Way We Bleed. Life is a Story - story.one

Being a vampire is not something one can simply back out, rather only attempt to grapple with it. Following the accidental murder of a friend, the Whisperer wants nothing to do with it anymore. However, no matter how much this fledgling tries to avoid the Rite, thirst is near-constant, sanity - ever more elusive and the other undead - less patient by the night. Once an unsuspecting fling gets caught up in the middle of it, the Whisperer is forced to confront the ghastly truth not only of what a vampire truly is, but also of the ancient eldritch secrets of the Endless River. Can they really live their life on their own termsCW: This book includes references to themes of self-harm, body-horror, blood, fantasy violence, sex and implied queerphobia.
