A Blood Moon Over Las Vegas
A modern vampire tale focusing on a Las Vegas family's blood rituals and criminal dealings.
This novel examines the internal dynamics of a non-traditional vampire family operating in Las Vegas. Litt focuses on the intersection of familial loyalty, revenge, and illicit business. The plot hinges on Rick’s return to disrupt his uncle’s control over their mortuary enterprise. The story highlights how the clan sustains itself through monthly blood rituals rather than mystical powers. It explores the tension between maintaining a respectable front as crematorium owners and engaging in secret drug trafficking. The narrative does not rely on supernatural spectacle but rather on the psychological and political struggles within an extended family. The characters are defined by their need for blood and their willingness to commit violence to protect their status. This approach creates a grounded, adult-oriented drama that blends crime fiction with supernatural lore.
The story is set in Las Vegas and centers on the Desert Rest Mortuary and Crematorium. It draws on modern urban settings rather than historical periods. The narrative incorporates the tradition of a monthly blood ritual known as the Celebration of the Blood Moon. This grounds the supernatural elements in a contemporary, gritty American context.
