Among them is Jason Castaing--a middling journalist who scrapes by on jobs with free weeklies.But Jason has a secret. John Devereux his best friend is the only real vampire in the world. After a chance meeting at a car accident the two become best friends and start drinking a path through the French Quarter.

And its up to Jason to find out why and clear his friends name. He doesnt have much but hes not alone. A tough-as-nails punk rock girl named Maureen and a washed-up cop are all the friends he has left--until he meets two men with deep connections to the vampire underworld. They show him a side of the city he never knew. But thats not all Jason learns.John Devereux has a past.And the more Jason learns the less he trusts his new friend.But no matter what happens theres always a bottle of bourbon and an open pack of smokes nearby.Its all booze cigarettes and vampires for one bloody October--and Jason Castaing isnt sure which one will kill him first....
