Suckers was overall a fine story. It was less horror and more apocalyptic thriller, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was marketed specifically as "A Horror Novel" so it was a bit unexpected.

Being on tour for almost two years has Ton of Dirt musicians wearied. Dan and Ray are going back to their hotel taking a shortcut through a dark alley. They are attacked by a flying "something." When they get back to their room, it is discovered that Dan does have a "mosquito" type bite on the back of his neck. As time goes by, Dan desires blood. He has a headache that won't stop and hears a buzzing sound making him feel crazy. Is he? He tells Ray his desire for blood. Dan tries a rare steak for starters but it doesn't work. He needs human blood. When he does get human blood the buzzing sound and headache leave him. When back at home they hear about friends, family and neighbors attacking each other. Why? Are they turning into vampires? If not, what are they becoming?

The author has written a novel that in many ways describes how Ray tries to cope with his disease. The twist of vampires is done quite well. At times I found the book to be terrifying. It is an excellent original story.
