If you ever take a headless selfie, pray that you don't live in Bastillio. Because in that city, it is the same as receiving a death sentence.

But when Vergil Torres found out he was a haunted, he was the opposite of scared. Because he knows that the government has built a shelter that has successfully kept haunteds alive for the past decades. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.

Shiloh Delauney, une inspectrice nouvellement mutée à Tregarta, petite ville balnéaire anglaise, est surexcitée. Grâce à un taré qui se prend pour Buffy Summers, elle a l'occasion de rencontrer Jared et Elijah, les chanteurs des Degenerate Kings, son groupe préféré. Mieux que ça, quand les attaques s'intensifient au cœur de la ville où il ne se passe d'ordinaire pas grand-chose, elle va se retrouver à devoir enquêter en leur compagnie afin de protéger les habitants d'une possible menace surnaturelle. Pas de vampire amoureux, ici, mais des concerts, du bruit, des vapeurs d'alcool et du sang qui pulse, vient à manquer et éclabousse. Un voyage vers la décadence (celle qui te pousse à embrasser ton meilleur ami dans un parking désert), l'obsession (qui t'empêche de réfléchir, alors qu'en temps normal, tu n'es pas si stupide) et les décisions qu'on regrette (comme pourchasser un vampire simplement armé d'une lampe torche en se disant que ça va, ça passe).
