One year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying in New York City than in attending his biology classes. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal’s life.

Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he’s infected the girlfriends he’s had since Morgan—and all have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. And it’s Cal’s job to hunt them down before they can create even more of their kind. . . .

Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld’s new novel is an utterly original take on an archetype of horror.

    A fun read which was very interesting and disgusting. A new look at why vampires exist and how they come to be. Every other chapter looks at a parasite and explains it--the disgusting part.

  • They are not really vampires, but something like that. I just couldn't get into this one. I read 156 of the 312 pages, but only because several people had recommended it, so I wanted to give it a good chance.

  • I'm a Bio freak...

    I loved how every other chapter was a few pages on a different parasite! I really liked this book, and I love Scott Westerfeld's unique and creative ideas!
