AFTERWORD

Despite DARK SEED OF THE MOON being one of the longer stories in this collection, when I first re-read it I had very little memory of why I wrote it. I’m not a huge fan of vampires—I do watch most vampire movies, but have only read three vampire novels, two by David McAfee and one by Jon Merz, and those were after the writing of this story. DARK SEED was also written long before the current vampire craze, so there was no strategic reason to write a vampire story.

But there was a hint of a memory that revealed it wasn’t vampires that inspired the story. Rather, it was an article about the moon. NASA believes that craters created by comet impacts on the poles of the moon have remained in a state of permanent shadow—total darkness—and that intergalactic ice may still be there, hiding beneath a coating of moon dust. The idea of eternal night turned my mind to vampires. Because, really, what could be better for sun-shy living dead? Of course, then there is the challenge of feeding on human blood, the answer to which became the plot of this story.
