The Vetali's Gift, a Tantric Buddhist Vampire Romance.
I had a shiver of "Xena, Warrior Princess" mashup anticipation when I came across this, via Buddhist Geeks.
The Disclaimer: "This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance of characters to persons living, dead, or in-between is probably intentional, but not to be taken seriously.
"This novel is for entertainment purposes only. Obviously you should not assume that anything on a web site with a name like “Buddhism for Vampires” is religiously or historically accurate.
"Do not try this at home. The stunts in this story were performed by highly-trained Buddhist professionals, under carefully controlled conditions. Attempts to imitate them may result in injury or undeath."
And the Acknowledgments: "Should any actual Buddhism be found in this book, it is thanks to my teachers, particularly Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen. They are, of course, not responsible for my monstrous distortions (intentional and otherwise) of the precious Dharma."
And people think Buddhism is for wimps. Hah.
The author, by the way, is one David Chapman, who writes and speaks on Buddhism as it is shaking out and waking up in the wild, wild West.
