Blood is the new black (1st ed.)

When nice-girl Kate McGraw finds herself working at Tasty, a magazine with its finger on the pulse of modern style, shes finally able to put her flair for fashion to good use.

But can she keep up with the Tasty staffers? Ethereally beautiful and extremely emaciated, they stay out all night, never look the worse for wear, and are always dressed to kill.Like everyone else around the office, Kate finds herself begrudgingly reading dispatches from a snarky industry blog that dubs her colleagues bloodthirsty vamps.

She knows they dont mean it literally, but . . . shes heard whispers of fashion murders and she has noticed strange things around the office: Like, why doesnt her boss get laminates to fix her sharp teeth?

Why are the blinds always drawn, and why is there a no-garlic policy in the cafeteria?

As well-dressed bodies begin to pile up near all the hot places, Kate has to wonder if theres a serial killer loose with a grudge against the stylish. Or if the truth is even more sinister: Are Kates coworkers actually undead? And, if so, can she design an exit strategy before she finds herself at Tasty forever?From the Trade Paperback edition.
