Short description

Tabloid reporters head to Romania, or modern-day Transylvania, to cash in on the hottest story in the world: the return of a vampire serial killer that drains its victims of any blood. This mysterious country brings to life a psychic power within one reporter, who had used this story as a vacation to get her away from unusual visions she could not explain. Now she must use this power to survive.

Extended description

Reese Mackenzie built a life around fantastic fabrication. As a top reporter at an international tabloid magazine, she made headlines with stories that involved mythical creatures in a modern setting. It was a safe haven for this petite blond with ambition to spare. Especially since real life was often quite a scary place for Reese, who had battled her entire life against scary premonitions that always managed to come true, even when she risked everything to prevent just that.

Eventually she was able to suppress these psychic tendencies underneath prescription medications, and if that didn't work she would simply run away. After another nightmare with an all-too-real victim, Reese finagled her way to Romania to investigate a vampire killer.

It sounded perfect, even though she had to share the credit and the accommodations with Brody Vaughn, her flirtatious coworker who cared more about his insatiable libido than his job.

As a top reporter at an international tabloid magazine, she made headlines with stories that involved mythical creatures in a modern setting. It was a safe haven for this petite blond with ambition to spare. Especially since real life was often quite a scary place for Reese, who had battled her entire life against scary premonitions that always managed to come true, even when she risked everything to prevent just that.

Eventually she was able to suppress these psychic tendencies underneath prescription medications, and if that didn't work she would simply run away. After another nightmare with an all-too-real victim, Reese finagled her way to Romania to investigate a vampire killer.

It sounded perfect, even though she had to share the credit and the accommodations with Brody Vaughn, her flirtatious coworker who cared more about his insatiable libido than his job.

Once Reese and Brody hit Bucharest, however, she makes the frightening discovery that her gift – her curse – was kicked into overdrive, especially concerning the victims of a serial killer who fancies himself a vampire. Victims were turning up completely drained of all their blood from puncture holes in the neck, in some gruesome encore performance of the Transylvania of lore.

Instead of limiting themselves strictly to her dreams, Reese's premonitions begin to arrive via physical contact with future victims. While she tries to piece together her erratic psychic evidence, Romanian police desperate to find their killer zone in on her implausible connection to each of the victims.

Brody becomes her unwitting partner as she explores the underworld of Bucharest, where human blood suckers lurk in seedy secret nightclubs, ready to make all her nightmares come true. It's a pathway of clues that could lead her to the killer, or send her completely over the edge.

"Taste of Blood" is a gritty mix of Gothic vampire lore and an urban crime thriller. Imagine "Interview With a Vampire" meets "Se7en." This tale was originally fashioned a screenplay and optioned by a director and cultivated through a studio.

In addition to being a full-time freelance writer, Ginger Voight is an optioned screenwriter who has completed eight feature length screenplays since 2002. She is also a prolific novelist with several Kindle edition books available through Amazon. Having grown up on Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger both reads and writes a variety of genres from kids books to horror.
