Items related to Trailer Trash
Until the night his parents are murdered, Elvis Taggard's world doesn't extend far beyond the Starry Night Trailer Park. He never suspects there's a secret society of bloodsuckers lurking in the shadows of the main streets and back roads of modern-day America. All that changes one fateful night come dinnertime after a sexy succubus satisfies her hunger by gorging on second helpings of the boy's momma and daddy. Elvis stakes her, then sets out to slay the rest of the children of the night, weaving a bloody path of destruction that stretches from southern mansions to trailer parks, from northeastern goth clubs to the set of a high budget Hollywood splatter movie. With the help of a lunatic millionaire and an Irish Vampire with a serious chip on his shoulder and a set of sharp canines in his mouth to match-Elvis might accomplish just that-unless the trio wind up killing one another before the vampires get there first.

About the Author:
Scott T. Goudsward is the author of numerous short stories, screen plays and novels. He has had an avid interest in the horror genre since seeing the horror classic, Friday the 13th, when he was only 13. By total accident he hails from the same odd New England town--Haverhill, MA--that produced Puritan axe murderess, Hannah Dustin, beloved Abolitionist poet, John Greenleaf Whitter, and TV host, Tom Bergeron, and heavy metal rocker/movie director, Rob Zombie.
Review:
Buffy meets Supernatural with a bit of Near Dark thrown in!
Welcome to the world of Elvis Taggard - he lives in a trailer park and spends his days ditching school with his best friend. It is a simple life; he doesn't expect much and doesn't receive much, but this all changes the night that his parents are brutally murdered right in front of him. Elvis swears revenge against his parents' killers and will use any means necessary to make sure his parent's deaths are avenged. The only problem is that his parents' killers are vampires!
Elvis and Erik, his newly acquired and independently wealthy friend, travel from city to city killing all the blood-suckers that they can find.
Trailer Trash is the first novel from Scott T. Goudsward, and it brings together all of the elements that a good vampire novel requires: warring vampire factions, slayers, road trips, wooden stakes and Hollywood. As well as Elvis' exciting and action-packed adventure, the author also refers to another vampire tale within the book. This is the story of Dorian and Deirdre, their flight from Ireland and the encounters that they have with a vampire overlord named Kane. At times the story of Dorian and Deirdre is slightly more intriguing (but not as action-packed) and my only wish is that the author could have fleshed out their story a little more. However, I am sure this is the plan for book two - and by just giving us a taste of Dorian and Deirdre's story, the author builds anticipation for the next installment.
So, if you want to read a Vampire story that has all the teen slayers of Buffy, the spookiness of Supernatural and the grittiness of Near Dark, then Trailer Trash is the book for you.
