Description
Detective Luke Stockton is preparing for his first child with his wife, Beatrice, but balancing work and home is a challenge as she is behaving with increasing strangeness. Beatrice begins to frequent a medspa offering mysterious prenatal checkups, leech treatments, and vampire facials. And, against his will, Luke finds himself irresistibly drawn to the spa’s sophisticated owner, Cleo, who has a deadly secret to keep.
The pressure builds for Luke as he investigates a series of murders involving exsanguinated runaway boys. Trailing a perplexing killer, and bent on protecting his wife and their child, Luke is thrust into a shadowy, erotic world of wealth, subterfuge, and danger. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more danger he courts for himself and his family.
Hemo Sapiens is an audacious and bloodthirsty fairy tale, pitting one man against a community beyond good and evil, in a modern tale of intrigue and female sexuality.
Advance Praise
Filmic, funny and genuinely terrifying, Hemo Sapiens is part detective story, part vampire myth and an all-biting (pun intended) exploration of the horrors of pregnancy, and the power of sisterhood.
— Paola Ferrante, Governor General’s Award Finalist for Her Body Among Animals
Razor-sharp, seductive plunge into a world where the line between predator and prey blurs, and nothing — least of all your assumptions — can be trusted. With witty, biting dialogue and a dark, glittering edge, Weedon delivers a vampire tale that redefines the genre. Hemo Sapiens will make you discover just how far darkness can reach.
— Heidi von Palleske, author of Two White Queens and The One-Eyed Jack
With irresistible pacing, compelling characters, and a superbly written story that is as compelling as it is unique, Emily A. Weedon's Hemo Sapiens is so much more than a "vampire" story, it is an evolved take on what people think a vampire story is, or should be, resulting in something entirely new and exciting.
— Jonathan R. Rose, author of After The Flames: A Burn Victim's Battle With Celebrity
