BITE CLUB: VAMPIRE CRIME UNIT #1

Written by Howard Chaykin &
David Tischman
Art by David Hahn
Cover by Frank Quitely

Sex, violence and black humor are served up super-size when Miami’s Vampire Crime Unit investigates the murder of a drug-addicted stripper in BITE CLUB: VAMPIRE CRIME UNIT, the follow-up miniseries to the critically acclaimed, top-selling BITE CLUB, written by Howard Chaykin & David Tischman with art by David Hahn and provocative covers by Frank Quitely.
The characters who survived BITE CLUB are back, playing cops and mobsters in a gritty, Vampire procedural that opens the vein of Miami vice — and proves the police blotter is a Rorschach test  for self-mutilation, power exchange, money and revenge. The elite squad of cops has plenty of problems, including a wide-eyed rookie with a hot-on for the ferociously depraved Risa Del Toro — female Godfather of Miami’s toughest crime family — who just happens to be the prime suspect at the scene of the crime.

"(BITE CLUB is)...a lively, entertaining read." –Vampirella Magazine
