“This funny and fresh take on a classic tale manages to comment on gender roles, racial disparities, and white privilege all while creeping me all the way out. So good.”—Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town. Bonus features: • Reading group guide for book clubs • Hand-drawn map of Mt. Pleasant • Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix • And more! Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families. One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

So, you've been sired. What now? You have started the biggest adventure of your life, or should we say of your death. Or undeath. Things are never going to be the same again. You need a roadmap for your new existence. Forget all the old stuff. That's all gone now. It's time to face the future. You no longer need to worry about the fate of the ordinary human. All they have to look forward to is death. For you, provided you don't run into any pesky vampire slayers, you have all the time in the world ahead of you. How are you going to fill all this time, time without end? It's a privilege to be a vampire. You're one of the special ones, the chosen ones. You're nothing like the run of the mill masses with all their dreary jobs and dull lives. Jack Kerouac said, "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" Vampires are these people. A cut above. Vampires have more bite, more penetration, more everything. This is your handbook to orient you to your undeath. Your transition will take a lot of getting used to. You'll be meeting entirely different people. You'll be mixing in new circles. You'll be leaving behind familiar family and friends. You'll be expanding your horizons. You'll be learning about the origins of vampires in ancient Egypt, and the Egyptians' extraordinary religious views based on pure magic. Are you ready for this? It's time for you to step into the spotlight. Now is your time. Your time to shine. You are one of the extraordinary ones! Enjoy!
