War between Satan and royal vampires ushers in the Apocalypse and threatens humanity. "The Vampire Benning Wentworth and the End of Times," is an adult gothic-fantastique novel, set in London and Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1898. It is the first in a series. Billions of years earlier God battled and threw out the high priests trying to take over heaven. Accompanied by Lucifer, they took refuge deep in the bowels of Earth. The conflict caused an opal, metaphorically Holy Sophia or the Creator's third eye (divine wisdom), to separate into three pieces that fell to Earth. This created spiritual and cosmological disharmony. Satan must keep these three pieces separated to prevent the Second Coming of Fire, the spiritual union of Creation with its Creator. If he fails, humankind unites with God, thus ending war, poverty, prejudice, and injustice. Joining the pieces also changes the negative energy used by the priests to feed and control Lucifer and his devils. The inability to manipulate energy to control Satan could end their priestly reign and prevent them from speaking for God, acting in the name of God, and taking the place of God. Benning Wentworth, a banker named after his uncle and New Hampshire colonial governor, must fulfill Lucifer's mission. He is one of Lucifer's many illegitimate children, naively believing his father is in charge. In truth, the modern Pharisees want the Second Coming of Fire stopped, not Satan. In a hopeless attempt to distinguish himself from his siblings and win favor with his father, Benning sought and received vampyric immortality from the "royal" line, a specific kind of vampire that evolved from humans and were a natural part of evolution. Benning also believed it would help stop the Second Coming of Fire. The royal kiss awakens Benning to a higher consciousness causing despair, isolation, suicidal tendencies, and overwhelming loneliness. One of his greatest fears is reincarnation to a life even more emotionally and spiritually painful than what he suffers. Benning's kiss has upset the universe's balance of power. It is the End of Times.… (altro)

Incipit

“Enough,” the vampire told himself. “Just do it!”
A persistent, tormenting chill languished in his chest making breathing labored. Voices and sounds of dockworkers from the street below intruded into the room.
Thickening clouds filled with heavy moisture hinted at the last major snowstorm of 1898. It slowly moved up the New England coast early Thursday morning, March 20, carrying with it a historic force that would make the month the worse in living memory.
Benning Wentworth, a former diplomat and banker by profession, put the cool blade to his neck and with a trembling hand felt the knife cut the outer layer of skin. Though barely discernible, he heard the slice.
His heart rate quickened. The vampire’s head pounded watching the sunrise. Its glare increasingly irritated his eyes. The combination of sun and razor left nothing to chance.
