title: 23 Hours: A Vengeful Vampire Tale (Laura Caxton Vampire)
author:  David Wellington 
description: Wellington's smooth fourth horror novel to feature vampire hunting, lesbian ex-cop Laura Caxton (after Vampire Zero) finds Laura behind bars at Pennsylvania's Marcy State Correctional Institute, where she's serving a five-year sentence for kidnapping and torturing a federal prisoner-a sociopath who'd killed his whole family to impress a vampire. Meanwhile, Justina Malvern, the world's oldest living vampire, is at large, wreaking havoc. Then Justina shows up at Marcy State, already hungry for convict blood. Justina gives Laura 23 hours to decide whether to become a vampire or die. Wellington's deadpan humor enlivens the satirical goth-gore proceedings as Laura battles the half-dead and their evil leader. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  “Are
  
  
  you done yet?” Olivia Abbott asked her mother. Olivia had finally convinced
  her
  
  
  father to take a break from his regular Tuesday tai chiathon by shaking a
  
  
  pom-pom in his face, but her mom wouldn’t stop embroidering the living room
  
  
  curtains.
  
  
  
  
  
  “Not
  
  
  quite yet,” her mom murmured. “What’s taking so long?” Olivia prodded. “It’s a
  
  
  daisy,” her mom muttered, squinting
  
  
  
  
  
  with
  
  
  concentration, “with twenty petals.” Olivia looked at her pink glitter watch
  to
  
  
  find that less than two minutes had passed since she’d last checked. She felt
  
  
  like she was in a time warp—time had never moved so slowly in her entire life,
  
  
  and yet tomorrow was approaching at a terrifying rate. In fourteen hours and
