Condition: New

When heroin-addicted vampire and gang leader, RJ, reluctantly takes in a twelve-year-old prostitute called Bait, humanity is introduced to his otherwise lifeless existence. An unforgiving, vicious and realistic horror story, Knuckle Supper explores chemical dependency, inner-city brutality, religion, molestation, abortion and the very nature of evil itself.In 2010, Knuckle Supper was called The Anti-Twilight. Now, re-edited and re-mixed as The new Ultimate Gutter Fix Edition, 2011's gold medal, IPPY award-winning Best Horror novel paves the way to the much anticipated, sequel, Knuckle Balled. Unlike anything you've ever read, Knuckle Supper is a bone-smashing vampire story... built for the 21st century."Combining the slick Hollywood decadence of a Bret Easton Ellis novel and the drug-addled realism of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, author Drew Stepek gleefully takes the piss out of the staid troupes of the genre by injecting LA's seedy underbelly with heroin-addicted vampires.-Rue Morgue"Even though there are various types of exploitation involved in the lives/backgrounds of almost all the players in this blood fest, Stepek is masterful in enabling the reader to actually feel sorrow and empathy for a few of the characters (not only RJ and Bait) and to see the human in the monsters and the monster in the humans.-Fangoria Magazine"The novel covers religious fanaticism, abortion, child prostitution, gang violence, drug addiction, and then wraps it in a loving layer of chocolate by letting vampires take responsibility for these things. And when you've finished the book, you'll end up feeling guilty, because the pen is a pistol, and it sure as hell wasn't aimed at vampires."-Vampires.com"The book's breakneck pace, gruesome violence, and punk noir prose should endear it to genre fans, but it's RJ and Bait's desperate lunge toward salvation that make Knuckle Supper such a memorable experience."-Famous Monsters UndergroundIts a drug-fueled, modern-day vampire saga that reads like a bloodsucking sequel to 1979s The Warriors written by James Ellroy. And fans of hardcore horror fiction take blissful note: Stepeks wicked prose can cut awfully deep." -Bloody Disgusting
