Certain Dark Things will make you think about vampires in a whole new way." --Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo Award-winning author of The City In the Middle of the Night "A tense crime plot wrapped in grim, glittering vampire lore and perfectly delivered with Moreno-Garcia''s unflinching prose, Certain Dark Things is a bloody neon dream of a book." --Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf "A fresh, stunning interpretation of vampire lore ... Silvia Moreno-Garcia''s writing is unforgettable." --Christina Henry, author of Alice and The Ghost Tree "This is so much more than a vampire story.
