The Taste of Blood Jon Athan

After being sexually abused by her nineteen-year-old boyfriend at a party, Genesis Hudson-a thirteen-year-old girl-believes she has become a vampire. Her hunger for human blood intensifies with each passing day. She craves it, she feels sick without it. Aubrey Horne, Genesis' best friend, knows she is mentally unwell, but she needs time to help her. So, with an abundance of reluctance, she agrees to help Genesis find blood by any means necessary. And while doing so, she discovers a side to Genesis she's never seen before...

How far can two girls go to find blood? Can Aubrey save Genesis from herself before it's too late? Or has Genesis really become a vampire?

Jon Athan, the provocative author behind Our Dead Girlfriend and Mason's Television, brings you a new grotesque coming-of-age horror novel filled with acts of depravity and violence.
