Rhapsody in Red: Two Novellas of The Damned

"Rhapsody in Red: Two Short Novels of The Damned" escorts you through a thorny landscape of authentically flawed and frightening Americana. In this collection of two short novels, twenty-first-century tragedy intersects with the treacherous influence of the modern vampire. The New Damned pull the strings undercover of night and fresh dirt, but when human and preternatural evil meet at an inevitable crossroads, the stakes have never been higher, and the fallout is a visceral red rhapsody... "The Remainders: A Revenge Fantasy" enters the sideways life of Natalie Kincaid, a former renowned medium who has lost her ability and fallen upon the hardest of times.

The Twin Brothers belong to a clan of Civil-War era vampires called The Remainders and have subsisted off the evils of men for over a century, their white supremacist convictions driving them as much as their blood lust. Their time has come, and as racism and human cruelty persists, so shall The Remainders thrive."Dallas Teller's Kill List" tells of a teenage misfit who comes to his high school with a gun.
