13 Bullets: A Vampire Tale: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
All the official reports say that vampires are dead—extinct since the late ’80s, when FBI agent Arkeley defeated the last vampire in a fight that nearly killed him. But when state trooper Laura Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in the middle of the night, Arkeley is unsurprised to hear that it sounds like a vampire attack. He’s been expecting such a call to come eventually. Sure, it has been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what most people don’t: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is rotting, plotting, and biding her time in a way that only the undead can.
Laura Caxton is out of her league on this case and more than a little afraid. Arkeley made it clear there is only one way out. The worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than just her blood. They want her for a reason, one she can’t guess; a reason her sphinxlike partner knows but won’t say; a reason she has to find out-or die trying.

"In 13 BULLETS, David Wellington focuses his ample powers of imagination on modernizing the vampire legend. The result is a charming, funny, bloody, and best of all, thrilling adventure. FBI vampire hunters Caxton and Arkeley make an electric duo. Thwarting them at every turn from within the walls of a maximum security prison, ringleader Malvern is a diabolical cross between Hannibal Lecter and one of Anne Rice's ancients."

Minimally plotted and driven by nonstop action, this gory vampire tale is of a piece with Wellington's zombie novels (Monster Island
; Monster Nation
). Special deputy Jameson Arkeley stopped a vampire rampage 20 years earlier, during which he whittled down all known bloodsuckers to a single survivor, Justinia Malvern. Kept alive at a sanitarium in rural Pennsylvania by minimal life support and bizarre laws preventing her extermination, wispy Justinia seems a threat to no one—until a series of vampire killings in the area suggest that she has found a secret way to spread her taint. Convinced that Justinia's minions plan to spring her and revive her to full power, Arkeley commandeers state trooper Laura Caxton to help him find their lair and wipe them out before they can get their vampire queen the blood she needs. A surprisingly anticlimactic finale leaves loose ends that will likely be tied up in subsequent volumes of a projected trilogy.

In a time when most humans believe vampires to be extinct, Special Deputy Jameson Arkeley of the U.S. Marshall Service knows otherwise. Twenty years earlier, he led a SWAT team in a gory confrontation with Lares, a vampire responsible for a string of vicious murders. Lares had used his superhuman strength to murder everyone on the team but Arkeley, who managed to escape. Arkeley eventually destroyed Lares and finished off this ruthless species, with one exception: the imprisoned leader Malvern. Fast-forward 20 years, and Malvern, despite his confinement, has mysteriously found a way to create new vampires, setting Arkeley once again on the trail of the undead. To help his search, Arkeley demands the aid of Pennsylvania State Trooper Laura Caxton. In this first installment in a trilogy (following the "Monster Island" trilogy), Wellington's vampires have no redeeming virtues: they show no mercy and take great delight in tearing apart their victims. There is plenty of gripping, fast-paced action and enough carnage here to delight the hearts of horror buffs (or turn some readers away). Recommended for libraries with horror collections.
