I have to first say this up front. I normally don't like noir style of books or movies for that matter. I was attracted to this book because of the vampire subject. I love modern takes on an old standard. 1 hour into reading and I wasn't sure I was going to stick around with it. But it grew on me. T...
Those stories you hear? The ones about things that only come out at night? Things that feed on blood, feed on us? Got news for you: they’re true. Only it’s not like the movies or old man Stoker’s storybook. It’s worse. Especially if you happen to be one of them. Just ask Joe Pitt. There’s a shamble...
Already Dead (Joe Pitt, #1) by Charlie Huston Recommended for: Fans of seriously dark, gritty, violent noir who won't mind the style There's a certain stereotype about the streets of New York City. To non-City-dwellers, the phrase can conjure a claustrophobic skyline blocked with lowering building...

While I liked the concept, this book drug for me. Big Pharma is at it again and Joe Pitt isn't going to stand for it. Blood and gore about and a wraith is thrown in for good measure.
I have a special fondness in my heart for NYC. The Met. The Chinese food. The Strand. The people zoo. Especially the people zoo--every time I go, I'm reminded of Whoopie Goldberg in Jumpin' Jack Flash saying, "There's some funky lookin' people in New York." I don't often see the NY Huston writes abo...
A ghettotized vampire version of Dick Tracey. Lots of wheelin' and dealin'; shaken folks down. Joe, being so low on the totem pole, did not endear me to his character at all. It kind of belies his whole tough as nails demeanor. He was constantly getting beat up and not cleaning up his messes. Howeve...
I almost gave this book three stars, for being so exactly what it is.So exactly what it is, in fact, that at first I thought I stumbled on a parody of the genre (which is the hard-boiled private eye type).Joe Pitt is a Vampyre in New York. Because he has the Vyrus. Except there really is a supernatu...
This was really fun! I like these genre-twisting books. This one is about a guy who works for the Vampyre clans of NYC. These clans are usually competing groups who control the paranormal interests of Manhattan and greater NYC. One clan, The Coalition, controls the area above 14th street, up past Ce...
This made me think of a vampire version of the movie The Warriors, and that's probably what rates it a 4 for me instead of a 3. I was excited to see this as a Kindle freebie because I've heard great things about the series, and I'll definitely consider those in the future. My thoughts were all over ...
