Thirsty

“Entertaining, disturbing, memorable, and sophisticated, this mortality tale will continue to haunt after the last pages are turned.” — School Library Journal

All Chris really wants is to be a normal kid, to hang out with his friends, avoid his parents, and get a date with Rebecca Schwartz. Unfortunately, Chris appears to be turning into a vampire. So while his hometown performs an ancient ritual that keeps Tch’muchgar, the Vampire Lord, locked in another world, Chris desperately tries to save himself from his own vampiric fate. A savagely funny tale of terror, teen angst, suspense, and satire from National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson.

In paperback with an appealing new cover, an edition to draw in the many fans M.T. Anderson has earned over the decades–and the new ones he’ll gain with Landscape With Invisible Hand, publishing the same month.
Before Twilight, there was Thirsty – a funny and smart YA novel tapping into the perennial appeal of vampires.
