The vampire Rix has always been on the run.
What if vampires lurk in the shadows of present-day Seattle, stalking the darkness of Cal Anderson Park or Green Lake after sunset? How do they blend in, concealing their true nature from mortal eyes? Would we even recognize their presence among us?
Imagine a world where immortal beings prowl the Emerald City's streets, their secrets veiled behind urban legends and local lore. In this thrilling new novel, step into Seattle's dark underbelly, where nightmares come alive and the line between myth and reality blurs.
On the eve of the pandemic, Rix struggles to survive. Unlike most of his undocumented peers, he possesses fake ID which allows him to work at part-time coding gigs that provide him with a little cash—until the contracts inevitably end. With tenuous housing, all his belongings—including his essential laptop—fit in his backpack, ready at a moment’s notice to vacate and find another safe place to spend his days. His undead world upends when mysterious forces abduct another vampire. With long forgotten memories of the Army’s pursuit rekindled, Rix flees, unhoused again.
In his hunt for refuge, Rix finds himself drawn to a human nurse, who unwittingly invites a vampire to become a more permanent part of her lonely life. Her attraction to him, and his to her, blossoms. And things begin to change for the better. But with him hiding his true self from her, can it last?
From the bustling nightlife of Capitol Hill to the misty shores of Puget Sound, prepare to be captivated by a tale of forbidden love and the constant battle between light and darkness. “Being a Vampire” is a unique slice-of-life story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, challenging your perceptions of good and evil in the city you thought you knew.
Are you ready to pierce the veil and explore a Seattle where the supernatural exist just beyond human perception? Enter the realm of the undead—if you dare.
An urban fantasy of trust and safety in the face of ever-encroaching darkness.
Genres: slice of life /dark literary / new weird.
