HORROR To Be Read Catalog
In a city overrun with the undead, an ex-cop is given a chance to get revenge...
Danny Mancini is on a case, following a murder suspect. When he catches him, he finds out that the perp isn ' t even human: he ' s a 200 year old rogue vampire!
The department doesn ' t believe him, and puts him on early retirement, despite his many years of service to the Chicago Police Department, which sends him into a downward spiral.
Two years later, Danny gets an invitation from the beautiful, young and very attractive Detective Angelica Cross to join a secret branch of the FBI to help her track down Vincent, the wayward vamp.
But renegade werewolves, meddling immortal witches and Danny ' s strange visions of a life lived a century ago with Angelica make things more difficult than it should be.
Excerpt
Danny held the stake in place with his left hand and swung the hammer down with all his strength with his right. He felt the crunch of bone and the pressure of the muscles before the stake lodged itself into Camille ' s heart.
Dark, cold and rancid blood spewed out of the wound, hitting him in the face. He didn ' t tear his eyes away, however, from the hideous sight that was formerly his best friend. Her eyes--formerly bright green--snapped open; the whites were reddish and the irises were gone, it was all black pupil. Her formerly wide and friendly mouth opened. He watched, as if in slow motion, the jaw widen and distend beyond any lengths humanly possible, as Vincent ' s had two years prior, as he had attacked that girl. The fangs were fully extended and as sharp as the very stake he ' d used on her. But was the absolute worst, above the aforementioned atrocities, was the shriek that emitted from her throat. It started out softly, like a kitten whining, but it steadily and rapidly got louder until it resembled a cross between nails on a blackboard, a bat ' s call and a demonic crow ' s caw. He wanted to cover his ears, close his eyes, and rock like a baby until the men in the white coats came to take him away.
