Vampires in 1970s New York. I was sold the second I heard that. Today we’re talking about The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman, a gritty, funny, and surprisingly emotional vampire story that feels both classic and completely fresh.

This one’s got blood, heartbreak, and a ton of personality. I’m keeping it spoiler-free so you can jump in without ruining any of the surprises.
