Marvin, a foul-mouthed, lust-driven homunculus—half-human, half-reptile—stands twelve inches tall and lives trapped in a birdcage. Once fully human, he was cursed by his vengeful vampire lover, Morella, after she discovered his betrayal. Now, as Morella racks up her final kills to become the most powerful vampire ever, Marvin’s son Ivan—standing a fierce three feet tall—plots bloody revenge. Meanwhile, Marvin endures eternal confinement and centuries of pent-up lust… until he finally escapes.
