The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman
dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
5.0
๐๐พ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ธ๐ป: Christopher Buehlman
๐๐ต๐ธ๐ฝ: Joey Peacock is a 40-something vampire (in the body of a 14 year old) that narrates a dark and twisty tale of vampires in 1970s New York City.

๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ผ๐ฝ: yes

๐๐ธ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ช๐ท๐ผ ๐ธ๐ฏ: gritty horror novels, horror books with well-developed characters, creepy children
๐ก๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐: โญโญโญโญโญ
This is definitely my favorite vampire book that I've ever read and slots easily into my top 5 reads of the year.
Buehlman manages to create a fully-developed world with engaging characters, while also writing a terrifying horror novel. It's best to go into this with as little info as possible, so I'll just say go read it.
