The Gentleman Vampire Alexander Ashley Alastair is a vampire. No! Not the vampire of legend --- A real vampire. Does he drink blood? Certainly not --- Sleep in his coffin during the day? Absurd! Can't be seen in mirrors? Riduculous. Can only be killed by having a wooden stake driven through his heart? Unfortunately, not the case. What is true is that, with the proper amount of sex --- neither too much nor too little --- plus avoiding dangers that would kill anyone, he does not age. Part reconstruction of the vampire myth, part satire, part spoof, the book reveals A. A. Alastair as more Magoo than gore, more Clousseau than criminal. Alastair revels in living the Great Life, having all the time in the world to accomplish something, sometime.
