Clyde and Magreb

Clyde and Magreb factor into the story “Vampires in the Lemon Grove.” Clyde and Magreb are elderly, reformed vampires who have sworn off drinking human blood and living as vampires have traditionally done upon discovering that much of what is believed to be true about them is incorrect. They travel around the world, tapping into one food source after another in the attempt to slake their thirst and satisfy their hunger, ultimately coming to settle in a Lemon Grove in Sorrento, Italy. The lemons work for a time but do not last for long, as the pangs for something stronger grow in both Clyde and Magreb. Clyde, however, is unable to resist his true nature, and feeds on the young Fila, the only local who knows his secret.
