About this ebook
Grace has been watching the cute guy in the vampire costume long enough to know he isn’t just role playing: dude’s the real thing. So what do the only zombie and the only vampire – both sworn enemies – do in a town like Nightshade on the night called Halloween? Become better acquainted, of course. But their friendship is tested when another monster crashes their party – in a costume all his own!

The Vampire in the Vampire Costume:
A YA Halloween Story
You must be new.
He’s leaning against the stairwell, talking to no one, holding a beer he hasn’t taken a sip of in forty minutes. And yes, I’ve been timing, down to the very last minute.
He’s wearing a vampire costume: flowing red cape with a high, stiff collar, crisp white shirt with the poofy, pirate sleeves, snug black pants, a cheesy plastic gold medallion hanging from a red ribbon around his neck.
It’s clever, his costume, considering he is one. A vampire, I mean. A real blood sucking, soul stealing, life taking, dream ruining vampire. I can see the fangs lurking deep within his gums, see the yellow flash of immortality in his cold, grim eyes and the thick, black blood snaking through his cold, dead veins.
No one else can,
Enjoying the preview?
