  • Summary

  • New York Times bestselling author Aphrodite Jones reveals the haunting true story behind her book, The Embrace: A True Vampire Story. At its center is 16-year-old self-avowed Antichrist Roderick Ferrell, who led a group of teenagers enthralled by vampire culture into the brutal human sacrifice of an innocent couple, Richard and Ruth Wendorf, savagely beaten with a tire iron. Aphrodite Jones uncovers not only the horrific crime but the psychological draw of bloodletting and the fascination with immortality that enticed these teens. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, she examines themes of obsession, rebellion, and vulnerability, driven by her passion for exposing the truths behind society’s darkest crimes.
