Excerpt
The laundry owner grabbed hold of Kerry's shoulders and shook her. "You don't understand," he said to her. "He isn't human. He isn't alive."
"What?"
Kerry was still looking at Sidowski, but the owner said, "Him," nodding toward the boy.
"What?" she repeated.
"He's a vampire," the owner answered. "One of the living dead. He kills people to feed on their blood."
