Critics Review

“Completely unhinged and wickedly funny, Vampire Menstrual Syndrome is campy vampire chaos with its fangs—and tongue—firmly in cheek.” —Lindy Ryan, USA Today Bestselling Author of Dollface and Bless Your Heart
“A clever revamp of classic lore that’s funny, fresh, and a bloody blast. S.C. Hunter guides you through the shadows of a paranormal underworld in this nocturnal noir that leaves you thirsting for more.” —Brian McAuley, USA Today Bestselling Author of Breathe In, Bleed Out
“Hunter’s supernatural dark comedy debut provides a wry reality-check to the landscape of vampire literature. I chuckled, I squirmed, and yeah, I nodded in recognition.” —Gillian Daniels, author of Jenny Will Eat You Now
“Hunter’s traditional publishing debut is an unapologetically queer and feminist-horror buddy comedy rife with visceral descriptions of bodily functions and cheeky tweaks to pop culture mainstays.” —Booklist
“A thought-provoking and entertaining queer horror-comedy. Hand this ASAP to readers who miss Sookie Stackhouse. Readers of The Z Word by Lindsay King-Miller and Chuck Tingle’s legions of fans will also rejoice upon meeting Ness and Wyatt.” —Library Journal
