Publisher's Summary
Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his genre-bending novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet.
The secret is, vampires are real and I am one. The secret is, I'm stealing from you what is most truly yours and I'm not sorry.…
New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live - and die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody - he has spent the last 40 years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, 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 Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It's almost too easy.
Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, 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.

Listened to the whole book in a day!
I was expecting a light, cheesey vampire novel and was pleasantly surprised to find this is so much more! it's well written, super fun and completely engrossing. I had to listen to the whole thing start to finish.

Awesome Vampire Book
I was very impressed with this book. Super fresh approach to vampires, likable characters, and really good humor. An excellent read and a nice twist at the end.

Free book? Shut up, I would have used my credit!
I have been listening to apocalyptic books, zombies, viruses etc. I normally would not listen to a vampire book but I thought “Why not? It’s free”. I loved the narrators voice, reading it you would never put the New York drawl in the words. Well written, character development, you are rooting for the characters to get what they need. Recommend. Five *****

wow best literally roller coaster of my life
Buehlman really kept me hooked. wow the last three hours esspecially just kept my interest as locked in as would have a bag of free cocaine. I usually find battle scenes so boring. these battles had me on the edge of my seat. The intrigue! This was the vampire story I have wanted to read or experience since I was seventeen playing white wolf's masquerade online. thank you Buehlman! please more please!
