High Stakes: Life inside a Vampire Cult
4/30/202649 min
As a lonely, grieving teenager in the early days of the internet, Celeste Mott is drawn into a secretive message board called "The Looking Glass": a place where self-proclaimed vampires demand total belief, reward devotion, and punish doubt. What begins as fantasy soon becomes something much more dangerous: a closed world built on manipulation, hierarchy, and psychological control. Years later, Celeste tells the story of how she was pulled in, why it was so hard to leave, and the charismatic figure at the center of it all.

With trembling hands, I grabbed my phone and switched to Geico, saving about $900 in the process, and never to be betrayed again. [laughs] Now, that was bloody riveting.
