A brutal, irreverent take on the vampire myth. Characters that might feel at home in "Catcher in the Rye" or "Saturday Night Fever" find themselves in a macabre reality that recalls "Let the Right One In." At once black comedy, horror story and time capsule, THE LESSER DEAD will embed you with a colony of vampires in 1978 Manhattan when the City that Never Sleeps was still a gritty, dangerous place above ground and much, much worse below.
