This isn’t exactly a recommendation for BloodNet, it’s more of me just complaining that it’s the only cyberpunk vampire property I’m aware of. And the gameplay looks really boring, with barely any vampires involved.
You’d think a filthy neon-lit undercity full of high-tech low-lifes would be perfect hunting grounds for vampires, yet I don’t know of any real cyberpunk vampire stories.
I don’t consider Ultraviolet to be an especially cyberpunk movie, or for hemophages to be vampires. Also the movie is bad. Are there any Shadowrun novels with vampires, maybe? Seems like that would fit pretty well.
I tried googling for other cyberpunk vampire stories just in case I was forgetting something and I guess there’s a Cyberpunk 2020 expansion called Night’s Edge which has vampires in it. That’s cool, although I’d prefer a narrative story.
In my search I also found a new series called The Cybernetic Vampire which I’m hoping is exactly what I’m looking for. But the kindle book is only one dollar and it’s 650+ pages long. I’m pretty wary if the author thinks his 650+ pages of effort are only worth one dollar, but I’ll probably give it a try given my lack of any other choices.
Do you know of any other cyberpunk stories that feature vampires?
Fess up. How many time have you read either book? I swear I’m probably at 12-14 for Blindsight. Think I’ve extracted everything I’m smart enough to understand. Some of the math and statistical terms elude me.
At least 6 reads of each Blindsight and Echopraxia. I’m really hoping for Omniscience to drop one day, but I distracted myself a bit with Freeze Frame Revolution.
Each time I re-read any if them I find a different interpretation. Like a prism you keep discovering facets on or something. I suppose that’s the byproduct of how excitingly unreliable the narrators are and how a baseline (like me) would perceive the motives of post singularity artilects.
