The Vampire Connection "They are the bars we call the Vampire Connection," he said, smiling a little ironically, as he said it. "There is Dr. Polidori in London, and Lamia in Paris. There is Bela Lugosi in the city of Los Angeles and Carmilla and Lord Ruthven in New York. Here in San Francisco we have the most beautiful of them all, possibly, the cabaret called Dracula's Daughter, on Castro Street."�."Too Perfect, "I said. "But these places, what are they like?""They're saturated with the vampire trappings," he said. "Posters from Vampire films adorn the walls, and the films themselves are projected continuously on high screens. The mortals who come are a regular freak show of theatrical types�punk youngsters, artists, those done up in black capes and white plastic fangs. They scarcely notice us. We are often drab by comparison. And in the dim lights we might well be invisible, velvet and Egyptian jewelry and all. Of course, no one preys upon these mortal customers. We come to the vampire bars for information. The vampire bar is the safest place for a mortal in all Christendom. You cannot kill in a vampire bar."
