Vampire Thug

D-Ray Carter ran Monroe Street with cold ambition-dope, girls, money, respect. But one night, while ducking the cops through a maze of abandoned row houses, he slipped into the wrong alley... and something in the dark bit back.

When he crawls out of that alley, he ain't the same.

His skin burns at the touch of sunlight.
His heartbeat slows to a dead man's crawl.
And the hunger-raw, savage, bottomless-won't let him breathe.

Refusing to feed on his own stable, D-Ray starts hunting streetwalkers in the shadows. Every kill makes him stronger. Faster. Less human. And the bloodless bodies piling up across the hood push detectives Marcus Hale and Tessa Ward into a case they can't explain-and definitely can't control.

As rumors spread of a "hood demon" stalking Monroe Street, D-Ray's world collapses: his crew turns against him, his girls fear him, and the cops close in. But the true horror hits at dawn, when they drag him out of a blackout-darkened apartment and the sunlight shows exactly what he's become.

Death should've ended him.
But in a morgue drawer deep beneath the city... something twitches back to life.

Vampire Thug is a gritty, violent, street-real urban horror novel about addiction, power, and what happens when the hood gives birth to a monster.
