    About this ebook

    A paranormal investigator learns that a certain notorious world leader—the most feared and powerful man in the world—is not what he seems.  In fact, he’s not even human….
    With echos of Hawthorne’s short story “Young Goodman Brown,” this tale features possibly one of the most novel twists in the annals of vampire literature, based completely on little-known but authentic Eastern European folklore.

But not everyone has heard of Intertruth, a similar truth-telling website, but even a little more radical than WikiLeaks; Intertruth was created to disclose the secrets that even WikiLeaks was hesitant to publicize. It was Intertruth that exposed the full story of how Bush blatantly lied America into a war with Iraq, and it’s only because of Intertruth that a certain sinister, brutal former U.S. Vice President can’t show his face in public anymore. Well, this is the story of how I learned of a terrible secret that even Intertruth was afraid to reveal, and what happened to me as a result.
