Bloodsucker City

Like a female Shawshank Redemption– with vampires. Early reviews:

What a bloodcurdling good time this was!!! – Michelle H, Reviewer, Netgalley

This has to be one of the best things I’ve read all year. – Netgalley Reviewer
Jim Towns’ method of storytelling reminds me of classic horror films from the 1980’s and I love it! – Hayley S, Netgalley Reviewer
A brilliant read. Read in one sitting. Couldn’t put it down. – Sue W, Netgalley Reviewer

The year is 1933. Falsely convicted of murdering her own boy, Lena-a poor young widow-is sentenced to life imprisonment in the infamous Steelgate Women’s Prison: an ancient stone fortress perched atop a jagged mountain in the middle of nowhere.

Abused by guards and her fellow prisoners alike, Lena is soon introduced to the Wardens of Steelgate. Strange and aloof, these seven men control everything and everybody within the prison. To break their rules brings severe punishment, as Lena soon learns when a misunderstanding sends her to the Hole for three days. There, in the darkness under the prison, she learns the true horror of Steelgate: the Wardens are all vampires, feeding off their women prisoners one by one: forgotten women, whom no one will ever miss.

Aware now that doing life in Steelgate is actually a death sentence, Lena decides she must form a plan to not only escape the prison, but to also bring down the evil that dwells there.
