Ginger's looking for a potion to releive her and her son Raymond from the curse of vampirism, and she's using the library as a resource.
Once she gained her composure, she looked the librarian square in the face. It wasn't this young woman's fault, but Ginger couldn't hold back the angst."None of these books have any of the information that I'm looking for."The librarian, a young lady in a pink tailored suit, painted fingernails, and a hairstyle that would have put Sandra Dee to shame, raised her eyebrow as she stacked the books neatly, turning each one right side up. She read the titles aloud, one by one, as she pulled the dated cards from the inside covers.“Dark Magic and the Evil ThereofAlchemy for DummiesInfusions 101Science and the SupernaturalVampires and their Victims?” She looked up. Ginger shrugged.“The Night of the Stalker.”When she had finished reading the titles, she gave Ginger a scowl."Just exactly what are you looking for?"
