In
1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the
streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the
government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating
an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley
Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit
photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During
her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of
looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in
battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her?
Featuring haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.
Coming April 2013 from Amulet Books/Abrams.

Hello!
My name is Ryan Sandefur. I am currently campaigning for an erotic/suspense/horror film starring myself in the vampire genre and was hoping you will consider checking it out.
It's about a college student & her brother (Ky Mahone) who notice a puzzling epidemic sweeping their neighborhood timed to the arrival of a new neighbor. Everyone starts to turns pale, they act anemic, they avoid sunlight and they might have a strange bite mark on their neck. They become convinced that the new neighbor is slowly turning everyone into vampires. To complicate matters, sis finds herself inexplicably drawn to the neighbor's son (Ryan Sandefur). Is she a moth being drawn to the film? Or is there a greater evil at work?
Instead of just focusing on vampires biting people, I wanted to focus on things such as secrecy, mystery, living beneth the grid, emotional vampirism, and sexuality - all things inherent to vampires.
I hope you are able to take the time to go the site. If there is anywhere you can share it, that would be AWESOME! Thank you for your time. :)

Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately, I no longer have time for new posts here at Suburban Vampire, but I just tweeted about your Kickstarter fundraising campaign. Good luck with the project. I truly hope you meet your goal!
