Suburban family vampires confront identity, secrecy.

"The Radleys" by Matt Haig cleverly combines the mundane with the supernatural in a story that's as much about family and self-acceptance as it is about vampires. If you enjoy a narrative that takes a wry look at both the cozy and dark side of English suburbia while tossing in the quirks of a vampire tale, this book will bite into your sense of humor while offering a poignant look at what it means to be different.

Description

FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . . Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50. With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.
