The Vampire Man , completed just before his death, is his first book in English. It has an important there are vampires among us, killing us softly in our sleep.His book presents a brilliant investigation into a phenomenon that affects millions of people. Pilgrim has detected a sleep disorder which he describes as "an energy transfer" between two people who sleep in different rooms, even in different buildings. It's a kind of clandestine relationship. His theory is that there is a taker, who feeds off the spirits of someone else in their sleep - and robs them even of the will to live. Such takers, Pilgrim believes, have a vampire personality.Their victims are donors. They suffer from restlessness and deep disturbance in the night and are mystified about what causes their disorder. Pilgrim's book is a warning - and offers help to donors so they can avoid "nightly energy robbery."The author was once described as "the most interesting person on Earth." The Vampire Man introduces the English-reading world to a profound and towering genius - and his book may even save lives.
