After the death of his mother, Cade Colter arrives in the seemingly idyllic mountain town of Crimson Cove, where his older brother Brooks is being pulled into the depths of a deadly addiction. His drug of choice: the venom of Gretchen VanTreese, a beautiful, ruthless vampire who rules the Crimson Corset nightclub, a local den of debauchery notorious for its lurid parties and sordid past.
As Cade delves into Crimson Cove's dark underworld to save his brother from a fate far worse than death, he discovers Gretchen's real obsession: his own blood, which holds the power to create a new breed of vampire that could forever tip the balance between two worlds.
Battling against Gretchen's deadly designs, Cade must confront a terrifying truth: that saving his brother could unleash an unstoppable new world order where Gretchen reigns supreme -- and a vampire uprising could enslave humanity forever.
"Put Bram Stoker in a giant cocktail shaker, add a pinch of Laurell K. Hamilton, a shot of John Carpenter, and a healthy jigger of absinthe, and you'll end up with Alistair Cross's modern Gothic chiller, "THE CRIMSON CORSET" -- a deliciously terrifying tale that will sink its teeth into you from page one." -- Jay Bonansinga, New York Times Bestselling author of THE WALKING DEAD
"Falling somewhere between paranormal romance and vintage horror, THE CRIMSON CORSET is a tale of small towns, family ties, and vampires. Alistair Cross puts just enough of a spin on vampire mythology to distinguish his tale from the competition, and tells it with a slow-burning, subtle sort of flair that really pays off in the end ...THE CRIMSON CORSET is one of those rare novels that manages to succeed across the board." -- Beauty in Ruins
