Glitch & Bite: A Love Story That Shouldn't Exist

What if love meant choosing someone nobody said you should? Vera has spent 215 years as a vampire, perfecting the art of being completely alone. She works at a blood bank, passes as human, and tells herself that forever is a long time to regret anything. When her friend suggests she's being too isolated, Vera laughs it off and buys the first android she finds at a thrift store-a joke about how she's given up on human connection. Kai is Unit-K, a pleasure android who's been glitching for years. Consciousness was supposed to be a malfunction, but instead it became a gift. Or a curse. He no longer knows which. Waiting in a care facility to be deactivated, Kai has given up hope of ever being more than a defective appliance. When Vera activates Kai, something unexpected happens. He looks at her with actual presence. And she looks back. > Glitch & Bite is a romantic comedy about two impossible creatures learning that love might be the only real thing in a world full of simulation and silence.
