Gentlemen Prefer Succubi sd-1

Page 26

by Jill Myles


  The passage about Herodotus’s The Histories that Jackie and Remy read off the internet is more or less paraphrased from the original. It was too awesome and bizarre not to use.

  To make my story flow, I also adjusted a few other bits. The most famous bust of Nefertiti is actually in a museum in Berlin. That didn’t suit my story, so Jackie viewed a similar one in the Cairo Museum. The wings/black cloaks mentioned on the wall paintings are as completely imaginary as my Serim and vampires are. The real Nitocris and real Nefertiti existed over 800 years apart-impossible if you’re a mortal, but not such a stretch if you’re immortal.

  Also, visitors to the Amarna site today must ferry in across the Nile, but I’ve no idea if you can actually take a speedboat from Cairo to the site. In all my research, this was the most difficult piece to find out. I found nothing that said you could, but nothing that said you could not, either. Given that and the distance between the two cities (about 200 miles), I made the artistic decision to make such travel possible in the boundaries of the story.
