Savage Days

John Masterson presents a dark narrative in Savage Days that follows Lulu, a young woman trapped in cycles of violence and neglect. The story begins in the confines of her mother’s home, an environment defined by Elvis obsession, before moving to the seedy underbelly of a college town. Here, Lulu discovers she is a vampire, grappling with newfound powers and an insatiable thirst for blood. The plot weaves through encounters with outcasts and misfits who carry their own dark secrets. Central to this journey are her complex bonds with Johnny, a troubled young man prone to self-destruction, and Diesel, a charismatic ex-con with a sinister past. As Lulu’s hunger grows, she must navigate a treacherous world filled with danger and prejudice. This book suits readers who enjoy supernatural fiction that explores the psychological weight of monstrosity within gritty, contemporary settings. It draws on gothic traditions by placing ancient horror into modern, mundane struggles. Those seeking lighthearted romance or high-fantasy adventure may find the tone too bleak. Masterson qualifies as an author by crafting a narrative where personal trauma intersects with supernatural transformation, grounding the fantastical in emotional reality.
