The year is 2030. Advances in robotics and cyberbrain technology have transformed the world into a miraculous place where almost anything is possible--even the melding of humans and machines. In this not-too-distant future, the crimes of flesh and metal are investigated by Section 9, an elite counterterrorist squad headed by Chief Aramaki and his cyborg sidekick, Major Motoko Kusanagi. When dead bodies, drained of blood and with two bite marks on their necks, start turning up on the streets of Tokyo, it isn't long before the entire city is in a panic. As Major Kusanagi and the other members of Section 9 investigate the killings they begin to wonder--is the killer a real vampire or something much worse? In a dark world of murder, where cyberbrain hacks and treacherous conspiracies reach to the furthest heights of government, Section 9 is all that stands between the people and anarchy.

Vampires? Well, given that it is Ghost in the Shell, I will hold judgement.

I never would expect vampires to be featured in Ghost in the Shell but I am interested in finding out how the writer is going to incorporate it in Ghost in the Shell.

I presume that the "vampire" is not a real (supernatural) vampire, but a crazed cyborg, malfunctioning robot or something like that. I'm reminded of an episode in the original Bubblegum Crisis, where there were vampire attacks caused by a boomer, that was replacing her damaged artifical blood supply with real blood.
