While trafficking in a bestselling sub-genre, AMERICAN VAMPIRE
introduces a new strain of vampire -- a more muscular and vicious
species, born of the American West.
It's Las Vegas circa 1935, and Skinner Sweet and our gal Pearl are about
to learn the hard way that the bloodsuckers in Hollywood were nothing
compared to what awaits them in Sin City.
In just a few short years, young police Chief Cash McCogan has watched
his native city of Las Vegas go from cow-town to wild, glittering
boomtown. And when the bodies of prominent businessmen start showing up
drained of blood, Chief McCogan finds himself facing a threat much
darker and deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . . and the
only sure bet in town is that Skinner and Pearl are right in the thick
of it.
