A mathematician accidentally summons a demon while working on a new math theorem. The demon and mathematician engage in a battle of wits. It was actually adapted into a episode for the 1980's version of "The Twilight Zone" (December 13, 1985) starring Sherman Hemsley ("The Jeffersons") Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772174583986120813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-58489575148439974292021-09-26T12:38:55.527-07:002021-09-26T12:38:55.527-07:00I thought #2 might be The Visitors by Nathaniel Be...I thought #2 might be <i>The Visitors</i> by Nathaniel Benchely.

It's actually weirder (worse) than that, as he can also drink blood using his lower appendage (reminiscent of John Shirley's Dracula In Love). Even better (worse), female vampires can drink blood from THEIR nether regions, and also their nipples, because why ishouldbekinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731202487740290468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-11980373261581966192021-09-20T10:41:54.516-07:002021-09-20T10:41:54.516-07:00Could #3 be Blood Lust by Ron Dee?Could #3 be Blood Lust by Ron Dee?John Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643252213296296648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-34004184999077281332021-09-12T19:46:02.590-07:002021-09-12T19:46:02.590-07:00#3 might be 'Vampire Junction', an Anne Ri...#3 might be 'Vampire Junction', an Anne Rice knock-off with a 'child' vampire turned rockstar.
