Pete, Drinker of Blood - Part 1

by Scott S. Phillips

Reluctant vampire Pete Tyler is a blue-collar guy who stays out of trouble by living a solitary existence, dining on a specialized menu, and avoiding the other vampires in Los Angeles. But Pete’s simple life goes haywire when he falls for a cute bartender at a seedy Sunset Strip dive — and when sinister vampire lord Carson Fitzgerald returns to Hollywood, all hell’s gonna break loose.

Part 1 of an 8-part serial novel from author Scott S. Phillips (FRIDAY THE 13 CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PSYCHOPATH, SQUIRREL EYES, TALES OF MISERY AND IMAGINATION). New installments will be released every month.

"Triangulate funny, creepy and melancholy, and you'll find Scott S. Phillips, waiting for a bus." -- Nathan Long, author of JANE CARVER OF WAAR

"With his goofball characters, ear for quirky dialogue, and always-colorful turns of phrase, Scott S. Phillips is like a modern beat writer — tempered with postmodern sensibilities and a generous dash of observational comedy... But that's just an erudite, flashy way of saying that no one makes me laugh louder or harder than Scott S. Phillips."

— Brian Jay Jones, author of WASHINGTON IRVING
