Vampstar

A graphic captioned Vampstar, featuring an illustration of Archeon Mochizuki illustrated by Crossroad Art. Another caption beneath reads. “I am Dr. Archeon Mochizuki.” I announce to the room at large, marking my name across the chalkboard in a quick and efficient looping script. I underline my name with a harsh slash, then turn. Students watch me, eyes wide and ready to devour.“And if memory serves correctly, you are here to learn astrophysics. Not the nuances of my personal life. If you find yourself in the wrong class, now is the time to leave.”

I am back to indulging myself with this grumpy vampire and his newly appointed rival, my favorite sassy star.

Mochizuki and Xlato is the story of When A Vampire Falls in Love With a Star, and involves an overambitious professor and the mysterious stranger determined to upend his life.
