But those plans disintegrate when
she walks in on a vampire sucking the blood from her fiancé, Greg. Horrified,
she screams and runs—not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a
wooden letter opener.
As she slams the improvised stake
into the vampire’s heart, a team of black-clad men bursts into the apartment.
Turning to face them, Elle realizes Greg’s body is gone—and her perfect life
falls apart

Guest Post
Top Five Ways to Tell if Your Fiancé Would Rather Be a
Bloodsucking Fiend
A guest
post by Margo Bond Collins, author of Legally
Undead
In Legally Undead, history graduate student Elle Dupree is cheerfully
planning her wedding to her fiancé Greg, but those plans are trashed when she
comes home to find him being turned into a vampire—and she quickly discovers
that vampirism is a choice Greg made. So in addition to having to deal with the
fact that vampires are real, she’s left with some pretty difficult
realizations—not least of which is the knowledge that her fiancé would rather
be a vampire than marry her, and she never saw it coming. So for today’s guest
post, I’m sharing Elle’s list of warning signs that your beloved might
considering joining the ranks of the undead:
1. You find blood on his collar. Forget worrying about lipstick on the collar—blood is the real
giveaway here. He might try to tell you that he cut himself shaving. Don’t buy
it. Blood on the collar is a clear sign that your boyfriend is letting
creatures of the night snack on him when you’re not around.
2. He’s recently accepted a position at a prestigious New York law
firm. While this is not enough in
itself to suggest a liaison with the evil undead, when combined with other
elements on this list, it might suggest a tendency to prefer the company of
bloodsucking fiends.
3. He often works late. Again, by itself this is not incriminatory. But we all know that
vampires need darkness, and what better excuse for meeting up with these demons
than “I have to work late”?
4. He suddenly develops a preference for wearing only black,
white, and red. These kinds of
sartorial changes might initially seem to be connected to that new job—a new
dark suit, white shirt, and blood-red tie? Those could simply be a sign of his
desire to succeed. But they could also indicate a deeper desire to imitate the
fashion choices of creepy B-movie vampires everywhere.
5. You come home to find a creature of the night draining him. Like Elle, you might initially be inclined to jump in and stake
the vampire, thereby saving your one and only. But it might be worthwhile to
hang back for a moment and watch. Does your dearly beloved seem to be enjoying
the process? Is he fighting back? If not, you may have walked in on a voluntary
turning.
Remember, if you think
your beau might prefer the tortures of the damned to pledging his life to
yours, there’s help available . . . but if you can’t find that help quickly enough,
you can always do what Elle did, and pick up a stake to track his ass down.
