Actually, all the characters are Sethra in various incarnations, but at
the core Sethra is actually a teenage girl who slipped and fell during her
first foray into the world of bondage and as a result slipped into a coma.
All the Vlad books are simply an external manifestation of her unconscious
ramblings. When she wakes up, it all disappears in a poof of logic.
Fortunately, there's a guy with a floopy hat standing by her bedside with
a tape recorder and a brick.
