A COMING-OF-AGE STORY LIKE NO OTHER: CHAIM CAAN, AN OBSERVANT
ORTHODOX JEW, FINDS HE MUST MAKE SENSE OF HIS PLACE IN THE WORLD WHEN HE
DISCOVERS HE HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE.
Chaim Caan was just out for a night of fun, blowing off some steam the
way a young man will. After the better part of a year spent in COVID
lockdowns, he was ready to let his hair down at a night club. But the
young woman he encountered that night left him with something to
remember her by: she turned Chaim into a vampire.
Soon, Chaim finds himself thrust into a weird underground world of
mysticism and enchantment as he navigates life as the newly undead,
trying to reconcile his beliefs as an Orthodox Jew with the new reality
that has been thrust upon him.
He is forced to deal with a lot of change: to his body, to his mind, to
his perceptions, to his relationships, and even to his world. He finds
himself in parts of the world he had never dreamed of being in, and he
finds himself doing things that he had never envisioned being a part of
his life.
And if he can come to terms with these changes, this mild-mannered young
man might just find himself a hero.
