Elias, a Guaycurú hunter born into the night to fight colonial invaders in his homeland, now lives in the city of Sepallia, Illinois. He's trying to settle into a quiet life, but his existence as a vampire won't afford him any peace. His friends, a vampire named Ambrose, and an elder vampire "night-mother" named Renee, do their best to help him accept life. Unfortunately, things never stay peaceful for long, and Elias often has to replace his beloved couches when the lust for blood takes over. More than a story of vampires and blood, 'On the Vampire's Couch' is a tale of struggle, acceptance, and finding peace in life when things have not gone your way for a very long time.
