"What matters in this chapter is the stories themselves, that is, the ready association of technoscience with realms of the undead, tales of vampires, and transgressive traffic in the bloody tissues of life. Sampling blood is never an innocent symbolic act. The red fluid is too potent, and blood debts are too current. Stories lie in wait even for the most carefully literal-minded." (Haraway 253)

"It is time to theorize an "unfamiliar" unconscious, a different primal scene, where everything does not stem from the dramas of identity and reproduction. Ties through blood--including blood recast in the coin of genes and information--have been bloody enough already. I believe that there will be no racial or sexual peace, no liveable nature, until we learn to produce humanity through something more or less than kinship. I think I am on the side of the [|vampires], or at least some of them. But, then, since when does one get to choose which vampire will trouble one's dreams?" (Haraway 265)
