The Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)

So far the critical issue among the commentators seems to be the mental problems; the original poster has a form of vampirism where the kid won't become an adult mind in an undead child's body, but rather an undead kid with some form of learning disability or anterograde amnesia. For obvious reasons, many posters are wondering how taking on the same mental health problems would help.

There also seems to be an implied game-rule that even afflicted bystanders must maintain the Masquerade, although panicky governmental over-reaction has been brought up more often than irate vampire enforcers.
