Summary
Quentin Coldwater is a vampire, which means he constantly wants to kill and eat everyone, and so far he’s handled that through a few simple and rational measures: he never leaves his apartment, pays rent with remote gig jobs, and has his best friend bring him bagged blood and library books. His undead life looks a lot like clinical depression and agoraphobia. This might be about to change.

Summary
There are vampires in New York. It’s 1888 and Quentin Coldwater, the son of a respectable new-money family, attends yet another soul-crushing society party. The underworld he stumbles upon at this one changes his life forever, and marks the beginning of his connection with Eliot, and Eliot’s companion, Margo—both of them vampires. His dearest friends, Julia Wicker and her fiancé James, are from his perspective none the wiser, but Julia’s own life has also been changed. Quentin learns that the world is both stranger and more horrible than he thought, and along the way he deals with his unspoken arrangement of a high-society match to Alice Quinn; encounters conman medium and real psychic, Penny Adiyodi; and eventually learns of Julia’s entanglement with Kady, a woman newly-cursed with a monstrous affliction.

Summary
“Well,” Alice clears her throat. “Um, if Q didn’t...actively wish for a baby, and it was more of an unconsciously manifested...desire, then I guess he wouldn’t have been too specific about it, and...he winds up with sort of the prototypical perfect baby.”
Margo looks suspiciously at the baby and then at Quentin, eyes narrow. “So you’re saying this sap not only dreamed up Eliot’s magically spawned child, but he also specifically wanted, again, Eliot’s baby at peak cuteness?”
Alice raises her shoulders once and quirks her lips as though saying, yeah, that’s basically it.
