I am offering ten copies of Live Undead to the group for read to review. I'd prefer to gift you a copy via Amazon, but if you do not have a Kindle I can provide a PDF or EPub file.
DESCRIPTION: Live Undead tour the country, bringing their blood-slicked shock rock to out of the way dives and underground clubs. Their obsessed fans follow them from city to city, unaware of the band's horrifying secret. The lacerated throats and acts of self-mutilation isn't simply makeup and effects – it's all real. The members of Live Undead are vampires. They prey on the black-clad, disaffected, and depressed teenagers who flock to their shows, while leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake.
Depressed, sexually confused, and bullied at school, Nothing desperately longs for escape. He dreams of rock and roll stardom and thousands of adoring fans, but will settle with knowing what it's like to be special. That's the question he needs answered when he finally gets his chance to meet Live Undead.
Eric's life has been in a downward spiral ever since his pregnant girlfriend went missing thirteen years ago after a concert. When Eric stumbles across Live Undead, he's shocked by their uncanny resemblance to the band that had played the night his life changed forever.
Inspired by splatterpunk novels of the late 1980s and early 1990s, LIVE UNDEAD contains depictions of explicit sex, gruesome horror and graphic violence. Reader discretion is advised.
AMAZON READER REVIEWS: "So if you're a reader who likes young vampires in a good plot with interesting action and underpinnings, and if you are gay or tolerant of gay sex and love, this is a real winner."
"...its like getting a day pass into the minds of serial killers. Vampire fiction is done to death but Live Undead manages to find a fresh and disturbing twist."
"If you love Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls then you will love this book."
"This book is definitely not for the squeamish, as a matter of fact, it is layered in gore."
ADDITIONAL INFO: Live Undead may technically be a "teenage vampire" book, it's definitely not for younger or squeamish readers. The book contains graphic violence, gruesome acts and explicit homosexual sex. Please keep this in mind when deciding to approach this title.
If you decide to give Live Undead a shot, I'd like to see the reviews on either Amazon or right here on Goodreads.
PLEASE NOTE: Amazon's procedures require individuals to reveal if they have received a free copy of the book in exchange for a review. If you don't write this and they don't have a record of your purchase, your review may be deleted. Example: "I received this book in exchange for an honest review." If you choose to be gifted the book via Amazon, this shouldn't be an issue.
