A gritty western-horror hybrid about professional vampire hunters.
Steakley’s work reimagines the vampire mythos through the lens of modern mercenary work. The narrative centers on Jack Crow and his crew, who use lethal force to eliminate threats. The story explores the consequences of their violent profession when a coordinated attack forces them to rely on unconventional allies. The inclusion of a Vatican priest introduces religious elements into the tactical combat. The text highlights the reciprocal nature of the conflict, as the hunters target vampires who have specifically targeted them in return.
Published by Blackstone Publishing in 2010, this edition updates John Steakley’s classic vampire narrative. The text describes the story as a blend of horror and western genres, positioning it as a modern take on supernatural hunting tropes for contemporary audiences.

By treating vampire hunting as a dangerous trade rather than a noble quest, it provides a unique narrative experience grounded in physical toll and tactical combat.
⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Steakley successfully blends horror and western genres into a twenty-first-century ghostbuster style tale. The novel excels in portraying vampire hunting as a blue-collar trade, emphasizing the heavy drinking and sacrifice required of its protagonists. Jack Crow’s crew operates with sharpshooting precision and religious fervor, creating a dynamic team against formidable foes. This approach suits readers who enjoy tactical combat and unconventional allies. It avoids traditional gothic romance, focusing instead on the reciprocal nature of conflict between hunters and their targeted prey.
