Ex-soldier Felix Gomez became a vampire during a tour of duty in Iraq; these days, he's a private investigator, using his supernatural talents to serve a vampire organization called the Araneum. Sent to Colorado to destroy a group of zombies and their creator, Felix encounters a terminally ill 16-year-old who wants him to turn her into a vampire. If he doesn't, she'll use her psychic powers to make his undead life a living hell. Jailbait Zombie is the 4th installment of Mario Acevedo's Felix Gomez series, which begins with The Nymphos of Rocky Flats. As the titles suggest, these books contain adult themes. But if you're not deterred by sex and violence, then you'll enjoy Felix's hair-raising adventures.

It's Memphis, 1975...but as far as Baron Rudolfo Zginski is concerned, it might as well be another planet. Sixty years after some Welsh villagers plunged a golden crucifix into his heart, the vampire Baron has awakened to find himself on the other side of the ocean, lying in a morgue, where the medical examiner has just (unwisely) removed the stake. After dispatching his resurrector, he joins up with a gang of teenage vampires, who are street smart but woefully ignorant of vampiric history. But the Baron's got bigger problems--in particular a new street drug that's deadly to vampires. Combining horror, humor, and mystery, Blood Groove is more Blacula than Dracula, and perfect for readers who enjoy scares with an urban flair.

Four days after fatally shooting a suspected terrorist, Baltimore police detective Joe Ledger is surprised when he has to kill the man again. But that's how things go in the top-secret Department of Military Sciences. As a new recruit for the DMS, Ledger learns a shocking secret: terrorists have manufactured a disease that turns people into zombies. Now, Ledger and his elite team of fighters must stop the terrorist leader El Mujahid, his equally zealous wife Amirah, and their wealthy Western financial backer, Sebastian Gault. Can they succeed before the zombie plague wipes out humanity? Find out in this "fast and furious read" (Publishers Weekly) by Stoker award-winning author Jonathan Maberry.

As one of the "Ina," Shori is the perfect vampire. She has no need of sleep during the day, her dark skin protects her from the sun's lethal rays, and despite being 53, she looks like an 11-year-old girl. But she's hardly invincible: one day she awakes in a cave, gravely wounded and unable to remember who she is--although she does know she's hungry. Embarking on a quest to recover her memories and discover who tried to kill her, Shori and her (tasty) new human host, Wright Hamlin, learn about the mysterious world of the blood-craving Ina and their enemies. Publishers Weekly says that Fledgling gives "a tired genre a much-needed shot in the arm."

This illustrated novel, a collaborative effort by novelist Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is "a new classic of vampire literature" (Booklist).

New York, New York: if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere. That's what the vampires are finding out, at any rate.

Now a defrocked priest, a nun-turned-vampire-killer, and a rabbi join forces to fight back in this "creepy, terrifying thriller" (Booklist) by the author of the Repairman Jack series.
