Unironically for vampire/immortal fiction set in various time periods, you should check out the 'clanbooks' for the Vampire The Requiem RPG (the spiritual successor to the 90s game Masquerade). Each one is basically just a framing device for a collection of lore on each of the vampire clans and then there's ten pages at the end of "here's how you might use some of this in your game". The one about Mekhet is probably the best except the main illustrator they use throughout doesn't seem to quite get the vibe they were going for with the main character, which makes it especially jarring when a different illustrator gives a picture of her in the back of the book "here's how to use this character in your own game if you want".  These are apparently the same person. And you can tell they were going off the same description too, just one of them didn't quite get it.

The one on the left also has more character in her pose, while the one on the right is just kind of standing there.

I'm more willing to believe the one on the right is someone's Hogwarts OC than I am to believe she's a vampire.

Am I really going to be the first to ask why her skin is green? I'm pretty sure becoming a vampire doesn't turn you into Shrek

The whole scene has green lighting, probably meant to invoke the weird look given by cheap fluorescents in a public restroom

The severed hand and the legs still have normal flesh colors though, but I guess that was the intent, even if poorly executed.

Our hero has taken his scared human trafficking victim into town on a date. She has panic attacks in the dark, as it reminds her of the truck she and the other sex slaves were packed into.

Right one has a wide-set stance and a can-do hand on the hip. Looks like she's about to point out that Carmen Sandiego is hiding in the Hagia Sophia because the last clue mentioned Emperor Justinian I! The one on the left has omitted the blouse to work some cleavage in there and is doing the standard "I'm so bored of all this bloody sexy bloody blood" pose that lady vampires are assigned on day 1 of White Wolf school.

That book reads like E. L. James put the lyrics of Jizzed in My Pants into a neural net text generator.

Is anyone else picturing this dude as just a huge walking penis with arms? It's the only way I can parse how much he feels with his dick alone. EDIT: Alternately, Dickbutt

I mean, apparently from the Internet and some guys I've met that's how a lot of men apparently function. If you are not careful your dick, during the night, will swim through your body until it reaches your skull, and then eat your entire brain and take total control.

It's wonderful. It's a grown woman writing a grown man with the inner monologue of a terminally horny 14 year old boy.

I like the part where a grown woman is writing about a grown man who is supposed to be extremely promiscuous yet freaking out over blood on a condom as if he’s never seen that once in his life, meaning James is either implying the typical eye-rolling idea men are too ignorant to know/care about any kind of post-PiV bleeding, or James is actually that ignorant of how anatomy works. Yes, I’m sure she’s attempting to demonstrate how he cares that he may have hurt her during sex, but that’s not what we got.

I take it you're unfamiliar with men produced by the Amercian sex education system, who think women pee from their vaginas, that labia indicate how much sex a woman has, and that women can 'hold in' their periods like its a full bladder. Edit: vvvvvvv Mixed up author/character names. Just saying that its depressingly common over the pond and I would 100% believe Maxim is just that stupid.
