Vampire Slayer wasn't an option on Career Day... Surf, sand, neon lights, and vampire jokes have been Jenna's life ever since her former best friend, Georgie, spilled her darkest secret to the whole school. A secret that's haunted her since she was little-she was attacked by something inhuman. When she stumbles across blood-drained bodies on the boardwalk and is attacked by a vampire-looking monster, old nightmares come back to haunt her. Now in the crosshairs of an undead serial killer, Jenna's convinced the killer is also Georgie's new boyfriend. Dodging a murderer is easier than talking to her enemy, but when Georgie starts changing in even more monstrous ways, Jenna has to suck it up and work with the person she hates most if she wants any hope of stopping a killer before they both end up dead. Inspired by The Lost Boys and 90s teen horror novels, Blood on the Boardwalk is a modern day horror comedy perfect for teens (and anyone) looking to dip their toe into the horror genre, and adults looking for the dopamine hit of nostalgic horror easter eggs! What readers are saying: "A teen girl with a tortured past, a run down beach town and bloody bodies all around. Creatures of the night lurk around every shadowy corner in Donna Taylor's BLOOD ON THE BOARDWALK, a spooky YA horror that hits all the chilling notes horror readers crave." - Wendy Dalrymple, author of BIRTHDAY PARTY DEMON and CREDENZA "Donna Taylor kicks off her new series, San Nico Slayers, with a bang! Blood on the Boardwalk is a fun, fast-paced romp, with wonderful characters and a storyline packed with action, heart, and humor. Fans of Buffy and Supernatural will want to sink their teeth into this one." - V.S. Lawrence, author of 80s Ghosts and With Friends Like These "Jenna's life as a teenaged outcast is no carnival, especially when a monster begins leaving dead bodies in her bike's path. Buffy meets The Lost Boys in Blood on the Boardwalk, a gleefully gory homage to 90s horror adventure that will leave you craving cotton candy with a side of garlic." - Angela Sylvaine, Bram Stoke-nominated author of Chopping Spree
