 Vampires in Lumley's novels are most often bisexual to some extent and frequently engage in various forms of incest and abuse with their offspring either by blood or by egg.Among Wamphyrii culture, the most desired treat is to eat another vampire's leech, or drink the blood of another vampire, so cannibalism is also common.The only sure ways to kill a vampire are beheading or complete immolation, a combination of the two being most desirable.
