by J.F. Lewis
In the first of a series, J. F. Lewis shows the reader just how wrong the vampire making process can go: Eric wakes up covered in blood, which normally would not be that bad of a thing being a vampire, but it is never a good thing when you don't remember whose blood is all over you, who you have ki...
Eric isn’t the most competent vampire around. Because he was embalmed, he has issues with his memory and forgets little things – like when the sun is coming up. He also has his temper black-outs which has led to the odd unfortunate massacre that’s always awkward. He also has pretty bad impulse contr...

His best friend, Roger, (also a vampire) is souring on the strip club he and Eric own together. And his...
