The Bite of the Vampire follows the on-going trial of Thomas Smith who was a victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of the Roman Catholic Church.   The story follows his daily struggles as a survivor of sexual abuse who battles prejudice, misinformation and a society that does not understand the debilitating effects of trauma.  It is a modern day tale that carries a stark warning for us all.’
