The editor accepted it, but then went through and deleted all the parts where the vamp turned into a bat and flew away. He didn't believe a vamp turning into a bat was reasonable, so he just cut it out ... didn't ask, just sent an e-mail saying he was doing it. I've been looking for a chance to publish the original as I wrote it, will finally get the chance in a collection of short stories I have under contract.
