The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
"This story ends in blood." Patricia lives the boring, diligent housewife life with kids in the suburbs and most days she really is on flight mode. Her greatest passion is the ladies only, 'not-quite-a-book-club' book club where she and her fellow clubbers indulge in gory murder stories. Enter: mysterious, tall, blond stranger, James Harris, who comes out of nowhere, charms everyone and integrates himself into their little peaceful community. But his arrival marks the start to a series of odd incidents and things get more serious when children in a poor, squalid area of town start dying under mysterious circumstances, their deaths taken less than seriously by the local authorities. That is when Patricia puts one plus one together and discovers the unfathomable truth about everyone's favorite, new neighbor... Well, she was a bit suspicious from the beginning but, you know, James is really handsome. This book frustrated me to no end, that is to say, I enjoyed it t
