Choice of the Vampire: The Fall of Memphis

This sequel to 2010's Choice of the Vampire moves the action to 1870s Memphis, Tennessee, a burg at the crossroads in the antebellum American south -- a locus for the emerging Ku Klux Klan and a repeated ground zero for terminal outbreaks of yellow fever. Because vampires are social creatures and alpha predators atop the food chain, they have gathered there to break a deadlock and elect a new Senator among their secret society of sorts so as to better impose their will on the population of walking chattel around them and prevent the sheep from organizing against the wolves in their midst, as so much chaotic turmoil of dollars and deaths rages on.

Dovetailed with long, dynamic and rigorously-researched texts bringing this speculative history to life, players' selection from choices presented to them (informed by RPG-style statistics) further plot seeds first introduced in the earlier game and germinate them toward final fruition in a future third instalment. Memphis may be dying, but the vultures know there's warm blood left in the old dame yet.
