Pre-Owned Suckers: A Horror Novel Paperback Z. Rider

"What we have here is a very high-quality junkie novel that happens to be about a unique case of vampirism." -Evan Clark, author of Movers WHEN WORN-OUT MUSICIAN DAN FERRY decides to take a shortcut back to the band's hotel, he picks the wrong dark alley to go down. Within days of being attacked by a bat-like creature, he becomes consumed with the need to drink human blood. Terrified of what will happen if he doesn't get his fix--and terrified of what he'll do to get it--he turns to his best friend and bandmate, Ray Ford, for help.
