Already Dead by Charlie Huston

4.0

Joe Pitt is a fixer who deals with unpleasantness for money. Or blood, as he is also a Vampyre. Which by the way is hilarious, the spelling I mean, as it reminds me of the Buffy episode where Andrew is in the bathroom making a video about "Buffy, Slayer of the Vampyres". You may appreciate this edgy thriller more if you're somewhat familiar with modern vampire pop culture. It's definitely not for the vampire romantics (or "Lucys") who envision dark handsome strangers nibbling on their necks in a velvety setting. In Joe Pitt's Manhattan you're more likely to end up drained in a back alley, or infected with a zombie virus and then drained. Huston does noir well, and this is a fast, nice read.
