NEW WENDERS By night
Robson Siebel
Chronicles of a Vampire Taxi Driver – for some, it’s a one-way ride.
It’s 1992 in New Wenders, southern USA, a place that feels eerily alive and hides more than its tainted history. Alex, a vampire with a thirst for more than just blood, drives his taxi through sultry nights while the rain sweeps away the last traces of life into the cold Rouge River or the murky bayou.
As night falls, new passengers take the back seat. Some, oblivious to the truth, are just one misstep away from becoming prey. Others are well known-Selina, a younger vampire who knows the city’s pulse better than anyone; Lucio, a troubled young man, craves the deadly thrill of a vampire’s bite, dancing on the edge of life and death. Thomas, the mysterious owner of a shady, quirky bar on the West Side that has a hidden agenda.
After years behind the wheel, Alex knows New Wenders is more than just his hunting ground—it’s a city that harbors creatures even he must fear.
