The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman
In 1978, New York City was a dark, dangerous place.
Evil walked the night streets. Every night.
Lurking among the human predators, there are vampires.
And something worse.
The Lesser Dead is a stunningly original and chilling addition to the vampire mythos, set in a time and place that was the perfect hunting ground..... the deep tunnels below New York, where even the homeless fear to tread, the hidden places within bridges, the castle in Central Park....all the places where angels feared to tread....and actually exist.
Buehlman pumps new blood into vampire lore, with disturbing variations on the undead, and their survival habits.
A must-read for vampire fans, or any horror looking for something different.
Highly recommended.
