Tokyo’s Vampire Cafe

Have plans to visit Tokyo? Why not meet some of the local vampires while you’re there!

Okay, maybe the Vampire Cafe is more hokey than horror, but if you’re in a gothic mood, this place delivers. And you can’t deny they go all-in on the theme: red and black decor, skulls and candles, blood-red drinks, coffin-shaped foods, waitresses in French maid outfits…

Yeah, maybe just ignore that last bit.

Well written and really compelling. My only complaint is that it ended on a cliffhanger. Looking forward to reading more of the series.
