📝 Description: Blood Is Thicker

Silas H Patterson presents Blood Is Thicker, the third installment in a series following Adam Davis. Patterson qualifies as the author of this narrative exploring the supernatural genre within a contemporary setting. The story moves away from traditional gothic tropes such as Eastern European castles or cursed nobility. Instead, it focuses on a vampire who operates in the modern age to address unpunished criminals and evil law enforcers. Adam Davis reflects on his experiences as a husband, soldier, and father while fulfilling his mission as a vampire. He seeks out truly evil individuals whose blood sustains him. In this volume, he re-unites with old army comrades from the war in Vietnam. The narrative positions these vampires not as monsters, but as agents who cleanse the world of evil to help the truly good members of society. This book suits readers interested in urban fantasy and military fiction blends. It avoids the classic horror elements of virgin sacrifices or demonically cursed aristocrats. Readers seeking traditional gothic romance or historical vampire lore may find this modern approach less appealing. The text provides a specific look at a new type of vampire operating in contemporary America.
