Because I am trying to do traditional publishing, I''''m going to be taking this story down, except for a brief two chapter preview. If you''''re interested, I may be able to slide you an EPUB or PDF if you email Thanks to those of you who read it while it was here! To better market it to traditional publishers, I''''m changing the official title to: "This Is Bat Country" -------------------------- Las Vegas, 2025. The city of sin has always had its monsters, but Caleb—a brooding, Anne Rice-style vampire turned in 1998—knows the real predators aren’t his kind. When a serial killer called The Stalker starts hunting young women, Caleb intervenes, turning his latest victim, Patricia “Pants” Antsel, to save her life. Now undead and deeply pissed off, Pants joins Caleb, the enigmatic vampire gambler Angelina, and Stelian—a Twilight-style “glitterboy” with a gift for seeing the last moments of the dead—in tracking down The Stalker. But when their hacker ally, Philip Gyrich, uncovers a disturbing connection between Caleb and the killer, the mystery takes a horrifying turn. Because Caleb has spent decades trying to forget the blood on his hands. In the late ''''90s, his unknown sire compelled him to kill, just as The Stalker might be controlled now. And as the truth unravels, it becomes clear that all roads lead to one ancient, ruthless figure lurking in the shadows. The ''''stakes'''' don''''t get much higher than this. A darkly comedic, blood-soaked vampire noir with serial killers, cyberpunk hackers, Anne Rice melodrama, Twilight absurdity, and an undead Elvis impersonator. Because, well—This Book Has a Shit Ton of Vampires in it. --- "Between you and me, this just seems like this is going to be another gathering of the bloodthirsty forces of darkness under the cover of night at a de-consecrated church that could have been an e-mail." -- Stelian
