by **Emily A. Weedon** (Author)

**These women are out for blood.**  
  
"Filmic, funny and genuinely terrifying, _Hemo Sapiens_ is part detective story, part vampire myth and an all-biting (pun intended) exploration of the horrors of pregnancy, and the power of sisterhood." -- Paola Ferrante, author of _Her Body Among Animals_  
  
Detective Luke Stockton is preparing for his first child with his wife, Beatrice, but balancing work and home is a challenge as she is behaving with increasing strangeness. Beatrice begins to frequent a medspa offering mysterious prenatal checkups, leech treatments, and vampire facials. And, against his will, Luke finds himself irresistibly drawn to the spa's sophisticated owner, Cleo, who has a deadly secret to keep.  
  
The pressure builds for Luke as he investigates a series of murders involving exsanguinated runaway boys. Trailing a perplexing killer, and bent on protecting his wife and their child, Luke is thrust into a shadowy, erotic world of wealth, subterfuge, and danger. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more danger he courts for himself and his family.  
  
_Hemo Sapiens_ is an audacious and bloodthirsty fairy tale, pitting one man against a community beyond good and evil, in a modern tale of intrigue and female sexuality.

### Author Biography

**Emily A. Weedon** is the CSA award-winning screenwriter of _Chateau Laurier_ and _Red Ketchup_, and the author of the epic dystopia _Autokrator_. She played Lucy in two separate productions of _Dracula_, and growing up probably checked out _Dracula_ and other vampire books more than anyone else in the Coe Hill library, so it was inevitable that she would write a novel about vampires. _Hemo Sapiens_ is her second novel. She lives in Toronto.
