Already Dead: A Novel | Charlie Huston
12 posts | 17 read | 10 to read
Those stories you hear? The ones about things that only come out at night? Things that feed on blood, feed on us? Got news for you: theyre true. Only its not like the movies or old man Stokers storybook. Its worse. Especially if you happen to be one of them. Just ask Joe Pitt. Theres a shambler on the loose. Some fool who got himself infected with a flesh-eating bacteria is lurching around, trying to munch on folks brains. Joe hates shamblers, but hes still the one who has to deal with them. Thats just the kind of life he has. Except afterlife might be better word. From the Battery to the Bronx, and from river to river, Manhattan is crawling with Vampyres. Joe is one of them, and hes not happy about it. Yeah, he gets to be stronger and faster than you, and hes tough as nails and hard to kill. But spending his nights trying to score a pint of blood to feed the Vyrus thats eating at him isnt his idea of a good time. And Joe doesnt make it any easier on himself. Going his own way, refusing to ally with the Clans that run the undead underside of Manhattanit aint easy. Its worse once he gets mixed up with the Coalitionthe citys most powerful Clanand finds himself searching for a poor little rich girl whos gone missing in Alphabet City. Now the Coalition and the girls high-society parents are breathing down his neck, anarchist Vampyres are pushing him around, and a crazy Vampyre cult is stalking him. No time to complain, though. Got to find that girl and kill that shambler before the whip comes down . . . and before the sun comes up. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Received this book in a swap from @madamereadsalot1 ! I enjoyed it, pretty entertaining. Not scary at all Haha! In fact i had a crush on Joe (always a sucker for those lost boy types). And i dunno if there's a sequel but there should be.

madamereadsalot1 Yay! I'm glad you liked it @Kayla.Adriena ! I too had a crush on Joe. There are 5 in the series all together. I haven't read them either, but I totally want them. 6y
Kayla.Adriena @madamereadsalot1 we should totally track them down and swap them or buddy read them or some cool bookish thing people do! 6y
madamereadsalot1 @Kayla.Adriena I'm game!! 6y

Kayla.Adriena @madamereadsalot1 I found No Dominion and ordered it probably take at least till mid December to get here 6y
madamereadsalot1 Do you want to do a swap or a buddy read? I'll have to wait until the new year to purchase it! 6y
Kayla.Adriena @madamereadsalot1 we can swap them if you want. I can pass along the next one once it comes/finish reading it and you could do the same with the 3rd? Then there won't be any deadline/rush #JoePittCaseFiles 6y
madamereadsalot1 That sounds good to me! 6y
Kayla.Adriena @madamereadsalot1 Awesome! Our own little vampyre book club! I sure hope Joe cures his girlfriend of AIDS by the end or I'm rioting! 6y
madamereadsalot1 Lol!!!! 😂 Poor Joe. Can't catch a break. 6y

madamereadsalot1 I'm glad you liked it all! I almost bought you two other ducks but I was afraid it would be excessive. PS. I also had a mug for you too. A day of the dead one to match the socks and journal. And then I flipping went off and forgot to send it! My daughter found it in a cabinet in my kitchen just yesterday! 6y

If you aren't reading books by Charlie Huston, you are missing out.

Detective noir meets urban fantasy vampires, this series is such an #underratedread! Vampire clans run New York like organized crime families and Joe Pitt is just trying to score blood and stay out of their way, but that's not as easy as it sounds. There's a missing persons case, a vampire cult, monsters, suspense, humor, it's so darn good! #riotgrams

JazzFeathers Ok, you bought me! Staked 😀 7y

I love Huston's Joe Pitt series, a vampire hero (anti-hero?) an urban setting, and a very noir feel. In a world were vampires are very real, #dusk features prominently. #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading

JazzFeathers Sounds good. And this cover is kind of calling me 😆 7y

Other than stopping to make myself dinner I read this in one sitting. I totally didn't intend to read this whole book today but it was too good to put down. Everything I thought and hoped it would be. A no frills no sugar coated vampire book!

callunakeep Might have to borrow this one! 8y

Thank you to @ThomasHewlett for his post about this book. It is next on my TBR list and I can't wait for a down and dirty, sparkly free vampire story ⚰

ThomasHewlett @DiruVamp you're going to love it! Looking forward to your thoughts 9y

TBT to a book that changed my life. I read it during a real dark point and it inspired me to get back into writing - which brought me back to life. And it's a great read! Vampire -noir, hard boiled all the way and no sparkly vamps included.

DiruVamp This sounds right up my alley! 9y
