Publisher Description

When centuries-old vampire Baron Rudolfo Zginski was staked in Wales in 1915, the last thing he expected was to reawaken in Memphis, Tennessee, sixty years later. Reborn into a new world of simmering racial tensions, he must adapt quickly if he is to survive.

Hoping to learn how his kind copes with this bizarre new era, Zginski tracks down a nest of teenage vampires, who have little knowledge of their true nature, having learned most of what they know from movies like Blacula. Forming an uneasy alliance with the young vampires, Zginski begins to teach them the truth about their powers. They must learn quickly for there’s a new drug on the street created to specifically target and destroy vampires. As Zginski and his allies track the drug to its source, they may unwittingly be stepping into a trap that can destroy them all.

"I am such a fan of Baron Rudolfo "Rudy" Zginski. He's a sociopath for sure, but he's very amusing and weird. Not quite as amazing as The Girls with Games of Blood, but still original, entertaining, and insane. I love the dark humour in these books, I demand more 1970s vampires!"

— Casey (5 out of 5 stars)

    — E. E. Knight, bestselling author of Vampire Earth

    " I did not like this as much as the second, and if had read it first, I would have stopped. All the characters were unlikeable except Fauvette and she was pathetic. "

    " Local Madison author Alex Bledsoe has created a worthy addition to vampire fiction. It's sexy, creepy with a lot of great characters. "

    " Well, it's yet another vampire book. It's a bit gory, and a bit graphic. It's also 1975. There's a bit of a older mentor teaching the fledglings who know only what "modern" vampire culture has told them the truth. If you are feminist and are easily offended, you will probably be offended. "

    " To be honest I didn't really enjoy this book. If it was up to me I would've never had finished it, but I did. I think the author was trying too hard to make it hot but it felt completely awkward. Everything else was okay except for the ending. "

    " I usually try to be careful about which books I take home from the library . . so tired of getting lemons. This one looked promising, but it's got to be one of the very, very worst vamp book I've ever read (and I've read quite a few) Avoid at all costs! "

    " Not terribly scary but a real interesting concept; vampires running wild in the 1970s, bell-bottoms and all. Sexual interactions are graphically described so avoid this one if you are uncomfortable with that kind of subject matter in a book. "

    " I don't usually like books that don't have at least one character that I'd want to be friends with, but this book was surprisingly enjoyable. The Blacula-as-documentary concept was quite funny, but the Parliament/Funkadelic references became irritating (and I'm one who makes my funk the P-funk). "
