In Aaron Burr County, Alabama, a primitive land still barely recovered from the long-ago Civil War, Hank Grissel makes his living at a most unenviable task: supplying victims for his master, a planter with an insatiable thirst for human blood. By turns fawning and ferocious, cowardly and desperate, Grissel combines incredible crudity with homespun Southern philosophy as he butchers his way across Alabama. With a journalist following the trail of bodies, can this lewd tomcat of a man escape justice? Replete with warring rival Klans, backwoods prophecy, and neo-segregationist politicians, all exploited by the enterprising Grissel, Alabama Vampire is a dark and comic novel of the freakish South, with laughter and horror on every page.
