Kiss with Teeth

Vlad is a vampire hundreds of years old, a predator by nature who was once caught, not killed, by a hunter named Sarah. Rather than end him, she took him in, and a decade later Vlad has built an unlikely domestic life as her husband and a father, his teeth filed down and stained to pass as human, his old instincts buried but never gone. Max Gladstone's short, tense Tor.com original asks what a monster owes the family that tamed him, and what happens when that old hunger resurfaces at exactly the wrong moment.
