VOLUME TWO: WHO WANTS TO BE A VAMPIRE HUNTER?

Ah, December! The time of year when everything smells like mint or chocolate, sometimes both, you can't get that annoying version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" out of your head (and let's face it, which version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" isn't annoying?), and everyone has a crazed look in their eyes like they're trying to be happy despite the fact that you know if they remember that they've forgotten just one more person they needed to buy a present for, or one more social event they neglected to put on their calendar, they're going to end up in an asylum somewhere muttering about "crack-nutters" and "rotten fruitcake" for the next few months until spring hits, and we can all escape from the doldrums. It really is the most wonderful time of the year isn't it?
