WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR
“As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling writer Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the acquainted into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” (California Literary Review) novels. Now the acclaimed writer of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting story but…
The secret is, vampires are actual and I’m one.
The secret is, I’m stealing from you what’s most really yours and I’m not sorry…
New York City in 1978 is a unclean, harmful place to stay. And die. Joey Peacock is aware of this in addition to anyone—he has spent the final forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk golf equipment and discotheques, feeding by evening, and sleeping by day with others of his sort within the macabre labyrinth underneath the town’s sidewalks.
The subways are his playground and his freeway, shuttling him all through Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting within the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or within the backseats of Checker cabs, and even these in their very own flats who’re too hypnotized by sitcoms to note him opening their home windows. It’s virtually too straightforward.
Until one evening he sees them searching on his beloved subway. The kids with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they’re, no matter their look means, the undead within the tunnels of Manhattan aren’t as secure as they as soon as have been.
And neither are the remainder of us.
