#Vampires

A presentation about the origins of vampires in Peter Watts' book Blindsight was included on the book's accompanying website. Unfortunately, it's in Flash and that's gone.

This script extracts the assets from the original SWF file, and the accompanying HTML file makes a simple viewing interface.

Build it yourself or check it out here.
