Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his genre-bending books. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River provides his most disquieting story yet. The key is, vampires are real and I am one. The trick is, I'm stealing from you what's most truly yours and I'm not sorry.... NEW YORK in 1978 is a soiled, dangerous spot to live - and perish. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody - he has spent the previous 40 years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the schedule he now looks forward to: womanizing in punk golf clubs and discotheques, feeding by night time, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city's sidewalks. The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Area or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments rentals who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him beginning their windows. It's almost too easy. Until one night time he perceives them hunting on his loved subway. The children with the merry eye. Vampires, like him...or nothing like him. Whatever they are really, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were. And neither are the rest of us.
