📝 Description: Night of the Dead

Micheal Raines offers Night of the Dead, featuring a squad of monster hunters including a zombie and a werewolf. They head to Mexico City for All Souls' Day after a peculiar killing. Their employer meets the same fate at the hands of an ancient bloodsucker who has dominated the region for ages. Rosa, the boss, stays behind to protect her home from this threat. This choice sparks a deadly chase as they hunt the beast before dark. The enemy's minions block their path relentlessly. Even if they catch him, living through the encounter is doubtful. Fans of team-based urban fantasy and horror will appreciate the blend of holiday customs and vampire myths. The plot emphasizes investigation and survival over historical detail.
