Hemo Sapiens

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.
