The Lesser Dead

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live forever, but at a terrible price? Imagine navigating the gritty streets of 1970s New York City as a vampire, where survival depends on your wits, your charm, and your ability to choose the right victims. Discover a hidden world where a colony of vampires thrives beneath Manhattan, living by a strict set of rules. You'll follow Joey, a cynical but charismatic bloodsucker, whose eternally adolescent existence is shattered by the arrival of ancient, child-like vampires who threaten to destroy everything he knows.
