Short little vampire tale from Brian Keene. Been on a big vampire kick lately and this one quenched my thirst no pun intended. I like the characters and as a West Virginian a lot of the details hit well. Good stuff.

It's so refreshing to find a story where vamps don't sparkle. Seriously, I've tried to avoid them since those popular movies a few years back. What was it Twilight? I think so. Now hungry, blood thirsty vampires I can get behind. This is a novella, followed by 2 very shorts, but I'd rather read this than some mainstream crap anyday

They just wanted to cook meth in peace, but they found starving, isolated vampires instead 😔
This was great! I loved the concept of the vampires, the way things played out, and the ending. Such a good novella.

The most satisfying vampire story I’ve read in years.

I stumbled upon this book looking for new horror novels to read that was something different. This was my first book by Brian Keene and it definitely won’t be my last. I loved that it kind of felt like a Creepypasta or Reddit No Sleep story. This was exactly what I needed. It wasn’t scary but creepy and made me think about things that could be put there. Also being a small town southern girl it had a lot of elements that reminded me of the place I grew up. A place where most people are poor and those desperate turn to drugs and illegal activities to make money and survive. Can’t wait to read more from Keene.
