Drained: A Vampire Noir by Coda Languez is a free reader magnet — a short noir mystery that turns on the line where human cruelty ends and something older begins.
About the Book
Two detectives investigate the murder of a suburban couple. The college-aged son is the obvious suspect — until the evidence stops adding up. Injuries no human hand could leave. A video that should not exist. And the slow, sickening realization that to whatever did this, “humans are just mere cattle.”
What to Expect
Lean, mean, and bloody. Drained reads like a noir procedural that took a wrong turn into a horror novella — the detectives play it straight while the world quietly tilts under them. A quick taste of Coda Languez’s range outside her dark romance work.
