Product Description

Book Description

--Nominated for Best First Novel by the Horror Writer's Association!

The Greyhound pulled into Carruthers, Texas a little after nine and unloaded seventeen people into the unseasonably cold autumn night. All had family waiting for them.

All, except two.

The town of Carruthers, Texas, has seen its share of drifters and lowlifes. But never anyone like Steven and Earl.

They move from town to town. Hustling the pool halls. Raising a little hell. Drinking a little blood. They sleep by day and hunt by night--the ultimate predators. The perfect life. Until now.

A barroom brawl ends in disaster. The soil from Steven's grave has been stolen. And a young boy's death sparks an all out war between vampires and mortals that will turn the local Frontier Day celebration into a blood bath....



Ingram

When two drifters arrive in a small town, raising hell and drinking blood, their presence disrupts the quiet community and sparks an all-out war between vampires and mortals. Original. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars White Trash Vampires, April 2 2004
By Samuel L. Smith II "Mentally Tough" (Evansville, IN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Less Than Human (Paperback)
I read this book a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed it. I thought Raisor's portrayel of vampires as rednecks and white trash was unique and insightful.

I've never been a pool player, but Raisor's descriptions of the vampires playing pool was enlightening. It's been a while since Raisor has been published and I'm looking for more of his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eight Ball in the Corner Pocket, Mar 6 2004
By Timothy Hewitt (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Less Than Human (Paperback)
It's been several years since I read this novel. I was deep in the thrall of the "splatter punks" who were the outlaw stars of the horror market (Ray Garton, David Schow, Joe R. Lansdale, etc.). I'd heard about this book, picked it up in paperback and later in it's hardcover edition (at the World Horror Con in Atlanta where I met Gary, but opted not to play pool with him). If your taste in vampires runs along the lines of Ann Rice variety, you'll probably find Steve and Earl, the pool-shark bloodsuckers of Raisor's novel a little on the unpolished side. But if your taste runs more in the vein of Joe R. Lansdale and the movie "Near Dark," you'll love this book. They just don't write 'em like this anymore. And that's a shame.
