What’s this?
No one knew that Oddfrid and her parents were vampires, yet people seemed to avoid them instinctively. One vampire alone was enough to raise the hair on the back of a human’s neck, two triggered an alert in the mind but three caused undeniably strange phenomena. From beeping fire alarms to ball lightning, it became obvious sooner or later that there was something odd about the Barfreds.
