    About this ebook

    Who are those tall, pale guys walking down Sunset Boulevard after dark? What are they doing in the clubs night after night? And why are there more and more of them in Los Angeles every week?

    Billy and Mike, two high school friends, are about to find out in this terrifying story of a new kind of monster – one that will not go away.

    Billy, whose mom died when he was a year old, is going up to the idyllic town of Sutter Bridge with his dad for summer vacation. But this vacation will be different, because Billy is about to stumble on the nesting ground of a rising population of beasts that have a horrid connection to his own past.

    Mike stays in LA to work in a movie theater and notices a new kind of customer showing up for the midnight shows. They are pasty, thin, and hip...and they are everywhere.

    By the time Billy gets back to LA, the city he knew is gone and something new has taken its place.

    The vampires have risen.

    But it’s not too late to fight.

      Dec 4, 2023
