Vampires
By Grady Hendrix
Fried Green Tomatoes and "Steel Magnolias" meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored
supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its
suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be
a blood-sucking fiend.Patricia Campbell had always planned for a big life, but after
giving up her career as a nurse to marry an ambitious doctor and become a mother,
Patricia's life has never felt smaller. The days are long, her kids are ungrateful, her
husband is distant, and her to-do list is never really done. The one thing she has to
look forward to is her book club, a group of Charleston mothers united only by their
love for true-crime and suspenseful fiction. In these meetings, they're more likely to
discuss the FBI's recent siege of Waco as much as the ups and downs of marriage and
motherhood.But when an artistic and sensitive stranger moves into the
neighborhood, the book club's meetings turn into speculation about the newcomer.
