BLOOD IS THE NEW BLACK

Kate McAlliston is spending her last summer before medical school working at "Tasty," a glossy fashion magazine. When she begins to notice strange happenings around the office, Kate uncovers a shocking discovery--the reigning tastemakers have a real taste for blood. When nice-girl Kate McGraw finds herself working at "Tasty," a magazine with its finger on the pulse of modern style, she''s finally able to put her flair for fashion to good use. But can she keep up with the "Tasty" staffers? Ethereally beautiful and extremely emaciated, they stay out all night, never look the worse for wear, and are always dressed to kill. Like everyone else around the office, Kate finds herself begrudgingly reading dispatches from a snarky industry blog that dubs her colleagues "bloodthirsty vamps." She knows they don''t mean it literally, but . . . she''s heard whispers of "fashion murders" and she "has" noticed strange things around the office: Like, why doesn''t her boss get laminates to fix her sharp teeth? Why are the blinds always drawn, and why is there a no-garlic policy in the cafeteria? As well-dressed bodies begin to pile up near all the hot places, Kate has to wonder if there''s a serial killer loose with a grudge against the stylish. Or if the truth is even more sinister: Are Kate''s coworkers actually undead? And, if so, can she design an exit strategy before she finds herself at "Tasty" forever?
