Bite Marks: A Vampire Testament Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A teenage runaway is killed by a sadistic vampire with the pathology of a serial killer, who has stalked her family for over a decade.  Brought back to life to feed on her child, shes killed again — but not before reviving her first victim, her firstborn.  The undead infant escapes, triggering a citywide search for a vampire baby whose existence threatens to expose the entire vampire society.

 And they will stop at nothing to make sure that doesnt happen.In the downtown art world/club scene of New York City, Steven and Lori, an artist and a writer, are in the middle of a bad break up.  Instead of being able to simply move on, they are stuck with each other, bound by a contract to do a book on vampires.  When they stumble across the real thing, will their feelings for each other intensify as they're reunited to battle monsters they scarcely believe exist?

Review:

"Television writer Taylor pens a gritty, screenworthy supernatural noir set in 1980s New York. Out-of-control vampire Adam forces his lover, teen hooker Nina, to drink her five-month-old son's blood. In desperation, she revives the child as a vampire. Infant Christopher escapes Adam's clutches and winds up in the custody of some terrifyingly crazy drug addicts, threatening the precarious arrangement that has kept vampires secret for centuries. Determined to find Christopher and protect Adam, powerful vampire politician Perenelle, Adam's progenitor, teams up with her former lover, Rahman, an ancient vampire with his own agenda, while Nina's brother hunts for his nephew. Disparate, well-articulated motivations drive the various players in their race to save vampires and humans from one another. Truly enjoyable and imaginative, this thrilling, convoluted yarn is sure to delight any vampire fan." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

A teenage runaway is killed and brought back to life to feed on her bastard child, by a sadistic vampire who's stalked her family for decades. The undead infant escapes, triggering a citywide search for a vampire baby whose existence threatens to expose the entire vampire society.
