Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named  Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal’s life.<p>  Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on  its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but  he’s infected the girlfriends he’s had since Morgan. All three have  turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps.

    <![CDATA[One year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying in New York City than in attending his biology classes. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life.<br/><br/> Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan&#151;and all have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. And it's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create even more of their kind. . . .<br/><br/> Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld's new novel is an utterly original take on an archetype of horror.]]>

    <![CDATA[A year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested  in meeting girls and partying than in attending biology class.  Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named  Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal’s life.<p>  Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on  its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but  he’s infected the girlfriends he’s had since Morgan. All three have  turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps. The rest of us  know them as vampires. It’s Cal’s job to hunt them down before  they can create more of their kind. . . .<p>  Bursting with the sharp intelligence and sly humor that are fast  becoming his trademark, Scott Westerfeld’s novel is an utterly  original take on an archetype of horror.</p></p>]]>
