Mateus Santolouco Knihy

Krvavá noční můra Skinner Sweet je nemilosrdný a lstivý psanec. A taky upír… ale ne jen tak ledajaký. Jako první upír, který se zrodil na americké půdě, je silnější, sveřepější a světlo mu neuškodí ani v nejmenším. Pětačtyřicet let poté, co vstal z hrobu, se Sweet ocitne v Los Angeles dvacátých let, kam světla Hollywoodu vábí jako můry mladé a krásné dívky. Jak ovšem záhy zjistí mladá a chudá herečka Pearl Jonesová, působí tu síly mnohem zlověstnějšího než pouhá lidská hrabivost. Když její sny o hvězdné filmové kariéře promění v krvavou noční můru, pomůže jí Skinner Sweet přežít - a pomstít se.

While trafficking in a bestselling sub-genre, AMERICAN VAMPIRE introduces a new strain of vampire — a more muscular and vicious species, born of the American West. It’s Las Vegas circa 1935, and Skinner Sweet and our gal Pearl are about to learn the hard way that the bloodsuckers in Hollywood were nothing compared to what awaits them in Sin City. In just a few short years, young police Chief Cash McCogan has watched his native city of Las Vegas go from cow-town to wild, glittering boomtown. And when the bodies of prominent businessmen start showing up drained of blood, Chief McCogan finds himself facing a threat much darker and deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . . and the only sure bet in town is that Skinner and Pearl are right in the thick of it.
