The Making of a Monster
ByPublisher Description
Her move to Los Angeles was supposed to restart her life. But with one quick bite, it is her death that has been begun. A chance meeting with a mysterious stranger has transformed this conventional wife into a creature that prowls the dark streets desperate to quench her need for blood.
Impervious to the night, she joins a rock and roll band and searches among those lost souls for companionship, always feeling like she does not belong. Caught between loathing her new self and losing touch with whom she once was, Kate is a soul torn between loathing and longing. Facing a bloody struggle, Kate at last embraces her vampire nature . . . and only then does the mystery of immortality explode.

“I loved this SO MUCH. Watching Kate's progression from human to vampire was captivating and leaves you with such a feeling of longing and melancholy. Soaking up all the 90s punk band LA esthetics was so enjoyable as well. A new favorite and another reminder that I need to read more old horror books, they just hit different.”

“Of all books to remember...this is told as if it were a memoir of a real life person who is turned into a vmapire. I bought it because it was signed. Woo hoo.”
