We are all vampires, but some of us are more vampire than others.
We're not talking about the blood-curdling, drinking vampires of the past. No, the modern vampire is more sophisticated and is everywhere in society, seeking only the energy of another person. In modern psychology, we call this contemptuous creature the narcissist.
Whether they are a husband, a wife, a partner, or a boss in the workplace, this contemporary predator survives by daily draining their victims of life. We Are All Vampires exposes the hidden mechanics of this psychological drain, helping you identify the toxic narcissists in your life—and confront the hidden traits within yourself.
