Never Read School Bites?! Here's a Crash Course!
The story itself centers around the main character,
Cherri Creeper, once known by the Mortal name, Charlotte Webb. After being
bitten and left for dead by a rouge vampire, Charlotte is lead by a love
smitten bat named Bing into an alternate realm where the Shadow Academy
resides.
The Shadow Academy is an institution were fledgeling
Vampires learn to drink responsibly. There, Charlotte is given her her new
Vampire name, meets her classmates, teachers and begins her Vampiric education.
Unlike many Adventure or Vampire series or movies, School
Bites does not dip into the ‘we must Save or Destroy the world!’ dramatics. It
relies on personal experiences of the characters dealing with being different,
coping with coming of age, being ageless, friendship and matters of the heart.
These Vampires do no live on blood alone. Because of a
special elixir, they can live on sugary goodies for most of the time, giving
them the ability to pick and choose their human meals more carefully without
bloodlust clouding their decision.
Why do my Vampires look somewhat different from each
other? In School Bites there are many types and hybrids of Vampire. For
example, Nostferatu are born Vampires, they are green in appearance and are
usually of royal lineage. Where other Vampires have elf-like ears and different
shades of lavander skin. This sometimes causes prejudice among Vampire clans
which the school continuously strives to extinguish.
School Bites is For a 13 years+ audience. Buuut I do know
alotta grown up dudes dig it too!
