Summary
It's Mardi Gras, 1987 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are up to their necks in vampire business - Gene has been turned into a creature of the night and seduced Paul both body and soul. Paul wants nothing more than for Gene to make him a vampire as well, but for a nearly a year Gene has insisted that Paul isn't ready. Or is it just that Gene enjoys the taste of Paul's blood too much to bring him across? Before he will relent, Gene insists that Paul go say goodbye to the light: enjoy Mardi Gras and the pleasures of New Orleans before embracing a life of darkness and blood.
At a Mardi Gras parade in the French Quarter, Paul meets a girl who seems like the perfect choice for one last, human fling... but as Paul begins to really fall for her, he wonders if he wants to be a vampire after all.
This is a bridge story that takes place between Twisted Days and Strange Ways but can be read as a stand-alone as well.
