Invasion of the Punk Rockers, Who Drink Blood!: An Ashwood Story (Ashwood Stories) 

Invasion of the Punk Rockers, Who Drink Blood!

A Vampire Horror-Punk Thriller for Rebels, Outcasts, and Anyone Who’s Ever Slammed in a Basement Mosh Pit.

Bax Laywright and his punk band, Ashwood Commons, are used to being outsiders in the buttoned-up Bible Belt town of Ashwood, Kentucky. They’ve got fire in their guitars, rebellion in their lyrics, and no patience for small-town conformity. But when a mysterious music collective invites them to play a warehouse show in Louisville, it’s the break they’ve been dying for—until the night turns into a blood-soaked nightmare.

The venue? An abandoned slaughterhouse called The Abattoir.

The headliner? A gothic band called Crimson Thirst.

The fans? Not all of them are human.

What starts as a killer show quickly spirals into a trap laid by actual vampires using the underground punk scene to hunt, hypnotize, and harvest the young and rebellious. Bax and his band barely escape with their lives—but the real horror begins when the vampires follow them home.

Now, Ashwood Commons isn’t just trying to make it out of their dead-end town—they’re trying to save it.

Armed with guitars, guts, and DIY determination, these teens must rally their scene, outsmart an ancient predator, and fight back before their hometown becomes the next stop on Crimson Thirst’s never-ending tour of terror.

If The Lost Boys formed a band with Buffy, played a show in Jennifer’s Body, and were managed by the ghost of Sid Vicious, you'd get Invasion of the Punk Rockers, Who Drink Blood!—a fierce, funny, and terrifying novel that fuses vampire horror with the raw heart of punk rock.

Perfect for fans of:

🩸 Stranger Things meets SLC Punk

🩸 Fast-paced YA horror with brains and bite

🩸 Found-family punk bands, outcasts, and fierce female leads

🩸 Vampire lore with a fresh, blood-splattered edge

Ashwood Commons showed up to play the gig of their lives. They just didn’t know it might be their last.
