    About this ebook

    Welcome to West Hollywood. The Creative City. Liberal and welcoming. Free from discrimination and hatred. A safe place to live if you’re gay.
    But West Hollywood isn't safe anymore...
    Someone in town has a macabre passion for beautiful young men. Healthy, gym-toned male bodies keep turning up, tortured, drained of blood, missing parts and quite, quite dead. Someone is using the Creative City as a canvas of gruesome, sadistic creativity. Someone is using West Hollywood as a warped psychotic playground. Someone... or some thing.
    WeHo City Coroner Becky O’Brien is helpless to stop the accumulation of gym-toned corpses. At the end of her investigative rope, Becky calls upon the aid of an old college friend, Christopher Driscoll, who is an expert on serial killers. Rushing to her aid, Chris arrives in WeHo with his quirky boyfriend Troy in tow. Prowling the dark alleys and cruisy bars of WeHo in search of the psychotic fiend, the trio soon realizes that something possibly not human has taken up residence in Boys' Town--something with an insatiable hunger for the flesh and blood of hot young men.
    Following the trail of mangled corpses, Becky has another realization -- nothing is what it seems. Even her old friend Chris has secrets...dark secrets.

    Accompanied by the compulsively orderly Sheriff’s Captain, Clive Anderson, and West Hollywood’s irritable and outrageous octogenarian City Manager, Pamela Burman, Becky soon discovers the ominous truth behind the creature stalking West Hollywood’s pristine streets.
    Sexy, scary, and very, very funny, Bite Club is a macabre black comedy that'll have you screaming bloody murder.

      REVIEWED: Bite Club: A West Hollywood Vampire Novel
      WRITTEN BY: Hal Bodner
      PUBLISHED: June, 2005

      Bite Club is a fun-filled murder mystery that traipses across all of West Hollywood from its seediest underground clubs to the chambers of its political offices. Do you like your characters promiscuous and cheeky? Like Supernatural horror? Like a quick-paced plot that intertwines the emotions, history, and actions of a wide array of people and lives? If so, you'll find this novel a delightful romp across a culture that's not afraid to poke fun at itself or at others.

      I'm also now looking forward to reading the sequel, "The Trouble With Hairy," which was released earlier this year and is already a major contender for a Bram Stoker Award™!

      Five out of Five stars
    • 4/5
      I'll be honest, i didn't expect much from this. I only bought it because it was cheap and I had some extra money on me. That being said, i was pleasantly surprised how good this was. It was a great story, especially for a first novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good vampire novel.
    • 5/5
      I went in expecting a bit of brain candy, and was pleasantly surprised to find an entertaining story, much humour, and a cast of rather vivid (in some cases almost over the top) and entertaining characters. Given the subject matter (vampires - angst, guilt, woe *cough*Anne Rice*cough*), I was expecting a wallop of angst, and was pleased to find although there was action and excitement and perilous situations, I didn't have my gut unecessarily twisted six ways from Sunday emotionally. I didn't actually want to like Troy; he's very camp, in a way that normally irritates me in real life, but I think he's actually my favourite character. His lack of taste in decor probably endears him to me. :DThe author doesn't try to take himself too seriously, and as such had produced a story that is easy for the reader to settle into and just go with it, and has enough in it to keep readers engaged until the end.I sincerely hope that the author writes more about these characters, because I feel a little bereft now I've finished the book.
