Bloodbath at Vampcon

Being the only vampire at the scene of a vampire attack is, Mitchell Townsend will admit, not a great look.

Mitchell is a PI—has been for most of his hundred-plus years as a vampire—and right now his biggest case is his own.

The inconvenient murder victim happens to be the YouTube personality who spent the last month publicly branding Mitchell the "Undead Deadbeat Dad" to millions of subscribers. His body turned up with suspicious neck injuries. Mitchell's name is in his calendar. So yes, it looks bad.

Every vampire in Phoenix already thinks he did it. The police agree. And unfortunately, Mitchell’s embarrassingly short list of supernatural abilities does not include producing a credible alibi. Meanwhile, VampCon carries on around him: a hundred thousand fans in plastic fangs, blood product vendors hawking ethically sourced O-negative, and enough anti-vamp protesters outside to make the evening news. Mitchell’s only ally is his Gen Z assistant who has had to explain, with increasing desperation, what “going viral” means, and why a million views is not the win it sounds like.

He’s been canceled, he’s being framed, and somewhere in this convention center is the real killer—who, unlike Mitchell, is not currently the prime suspect.

Perfect for fans of What We Do In The Shadows and Only Murders In The Building, a sharp and funny paranormal mystery where the vampire is the last person anyone trusts—and the only one working the case.
