Two years after Brick, the Haight-Ashbury glow has dimmed, and Brick Newton drifts between walls and souls. Once a reporter for The San Francisco Oracle—the psychedelic paper that promised a new world and collapsed under its own light—he now spends his days laying stone and his nights at the food bank beside Lee and Jack.
Brick’s curse is the same paradox he’s always carried: he needs connection to breathe, but the moment it feels real, it begins to suffocate him. Lee’s steadiness offers brief reprieve—a kindness that doesn’t drain, a warmth that doesn’t demand. Yet Brick senses the balance shifting, as if both he and Jack draw from the same dwindling current. When a young stranger appears at the job site asking for work, Brick offers his hand—and learns the name that will change everything.
About the Series:
The Emotional Vampires is a noir-tinged, psychologically charged saga tracing the secret history of empaths and feeders across the twentieth century. Blending historical realism with supernatural undertones, it explores how emotional energy—love, fear, joy, despair—shapes both individuals and the world they inhabit. From ancient temples to 1970s Los Angeles, each chapter reveals another strand in a web of hunger, balance, and redemption.
