Hitman Kieran Russe thinks he’ s the deadliest man in town. But he’ s about to find out that the crime family he works for is full of vampires, and they’ re not afraid to get their blood in-house. “ All the Meaner Things” is a noir vampire novel that explores the black, white, and red world of undead mobsters in a Prohibition-era California city. Kieran is a World War I veteran who finds himself embroiled in a new conflict between a group of vampire hunters, the crime family, a budding romance, and his own fractured mind. It’ s a debut novel that moves as swiftly and dangerously as a switchblade in the night, slicing through smoky speakeasies, dark mine tunnels, and graveyards teeming with bloodsucking wise guys.  “ All the Meaner Things” is ideal for readers of hard-boiled and horror, specifically Sylvia Moreno-Garcia’ s “ Certain Dead Things” and Laird Barron’ s Isaiah Coleridge series. If Raymond Chandler were to tell an Anne Rice story, it might go something like this.
