Description
Set in the gritty New York City of 1978, this chilling horror novel follows Joey Peacock, a seasoned vampire who makes his home beneath the streets with an underground family of fellow undead. Their precarious existence is threatened by the arrival of a seemingly innocent group of child vampires whose strange behavior and relentless hunger conceal a far more disturbing agenda. As alliances fracture and long-buried truths emerge, Joey must confront the limits of his instincts, loyalties, and understanding of what it means to be a monster. Darkly atmospheric and narrated with mordant wit, the novel explores deception, self-deception, predation, and the fragile codes that hold a monstrous society together.
