Join a new kind of vampire hunter—former gangster Freddie Burns—as he fights for his place, for his family, and for the hell of it in London’s gritty magical underworld. Mostly for the hell of it, to be honest.
Freddie Burns just wants ten pints, a spot of football violence, and to take over his uncle’s fading South London crime business. But when a gangland execution goes wrong, Freddie discovers a new kind of organized crime—one where vampires are spine-breakingly real and monsters hide just out of sight.
Good thing Freddie has a supernatural gift for giving vampires a kicking—them and anyone else that looks at him funny.
Dragged into a world of shadowy organizations, secret sorcerous pacts, gruesome vampire initiations, and a plot to rule it all, Freddie realizes it’s up to him to save the world —or at least not wreck it entirely. He just needs a drink first.

“Sordid, grubby, violent... unusual compliments for an unusual novel. In a world crowded with high-concept vampire stories, Blood Drunk really stands out for its raw and refreshing approach. Highly recommended.”
—Dan Abnett
“Gripping from the first page to the last. Shepherd’s gritty London feels fresh and real. The characters pop off the page and you can’t help but love how messy they all are.”
—USA Today bestselling author T.L. Huchu
