The London Compass has the privilege of being one of the first newspapers to interview a creature of mythology.  In this ongoing series, we will be publishing an exclusive interview with one of the supernatural’s most elusive predators.  Our correspondent is sitting with Miss V, a professional Succubus.

Compass: Miss V, could you clarify exactly what a succubus is for our readers?

Miss V: Well, according to mythology, a Succubus is a demon who haunts the dreams of men and steals their strength at night.  It’s utter bunk, but then again, the myths were written by old men who had far too rich of fantasy lives.  We’re not demons, tho a lot of people like to say we are, we start our lives as mortals, and most of us have no idea what we are until we reach adulthood.

Compass: We?  There are more Succubuses?  Succubi?

Miss V: Oh yes.  There are quite a number of us just in London.  We’re more or less harmless members of society, most of us hold careers.  For the most part we’re fairly ordinary people.

Interview with a Vamp is a new weekly column featured in the London Compass.
