Frustrated, Concerned, Fatigued

You feel it every day: the quiet exhaustion from endless division, the gnawing concern for a society that seems to be slipping away, the frustration at patterns of harm that no policy or protest quite explains.These emotions are not random. They are the predictable wounds left by a hidden predator feeding on the vital energy of communities, families, and nations.

This is a powerful book.

It is an exploration of the individuals whose behaviors mirror humanity’s most enduring monster: the vampire.Inside these pages, you will discover how they operate, why good people often look away, and the practical, hopeful path to fight back.

Fertile Ground for Predators

In this book I will cover the fertile ground that allows "vampires" or predatory individuals to succeed and why.You will learn about the impact of wealth and competition and how fertile ground affects fanatical believers.

Chapter 3 Excerpt

Over the course of two centuries, Western culture performed one of the most complete moral inversions in the history of myth. The vampire changed from a walking biohazard that threatened the very existence of the village to the ultimate object of empathy, desire, and identification.

Chapter 12 Excerpt

The people who enable individuals with predatory traits, consciously or not, often fall into four remarkably consistent psychological profiles. Forensic psychologists, cult deprogrammers, and abuse researchers encounter the same patterns again and again, with significant overlap between them.

Chapter 16 Excerpt

In blunt terms, the mating pair consisting of a high-predatory single mother and a serial-impregnating high-predatory father functions as the single most efficient "crime factory" that modern societies produce.

About the Author

Rune Alger is an independent researcher and author specializing in the intersections of folklore, literature, psychology, and cultural evolution.His work investigates how mythic and literary archetypes, particularly monsters and supernatural figures, serve as symbolic lenses for understanding psychological traits, societal power dynamics, and cultural change over time.Trained as a data analyst and engineer, he approaches cultural research with analytical precision, identifying recurring patterns across centuries of myth and literature while grounding interpretations in historical, psychological, and sociological evidence.He lives and works in Eagle, Idaho, where the rugged beauty of the Boise River foothills and the region's layered history of frontier mythology provide both solitude for reflection and a connection to humanity's enduring relationship with story and place.
