The premise
Five-thousand-year-old vampire Miriam promises her lovers the gift of eternal life. When John, her cellist companion for centuries, discovers that he has suddenly begun growing old, he attempts to seek out the help of Dr. Sarah Roberts, a researcher on the mechanisms of aging.
Horror Vault's take
In the shadowed elegance of New York City, an ancient vampire named Miriam has built her existence around chosen companions — lovers she binds to her with the promise of eternal life. When one such companion begins to age with terrifying speed, his desperate search for answers leads him to a scientist studying the very nature of aging. What unfolds is a hypnotic collision of seduction, science, and centuries-old hunger that blurs the line between victim and willing participant.
