BLOODY PERKS, BOOK ONE (hardcover - 160 pages)
written & illustrated by Paulo DeFreitas Junior
A VEGAN antiques appraiser, named KENINGALE PERKS, becomes A VAMPIRE after the routine evaluation of an artifact goes awry.
Naturally, Ken refuses to drink blood only to find himself in an unfortunate journey of psychedelic proportions when he discovers that the worst side-effect of eternal life is not the act of drinking blood itself, but is rather the displeasure of having his overwhelming shadow, BLOODY PERKS, forcing him to feed the hunger.
Ken is guided by the immortal MURGART - a 420 year old boy in his first mission as a tutor.
Each event in Mr. Perks’ unwanted new life reveals the mysterious and surreal world of immortals in the city of New Orleans.
