Upír pro nové století. Skinner Sweet je skrznaskrz zkažený pistolník – lstivý, nemilosrdný a nebezpečný jako chřestýš. A to bylo ještě předtím, než na Divoký západ přijeli evropští upíři a proměnili Skinnera v opravdovou nestvůru, silnější druh upíra imunního vůči slunečnému svitu, amerického upíra, jenž nenávidí veškeré své aristokratické evropské předky. Ale když Skinnerova válka s jeho předchůdci přiměje tajnou společnost Vazalové Jitřenky k tomu, aby se pustila do boje s oběma druhy upírů, Skinner si k sobě vybere první upírskou posilu: protloukající se mladistvou herečku Pearl Jonesovou. AMERICKÝ UPÍR je kronika dějin nového druhu upíra, generační epopej, která líčí krvelačnost skrytou v samých základech nejvýraznějších období Spojených států. Vydejte se za tímto temným symbolem krvavé cesty Nového světa v ikonických érách americké historie, od Divokého západu konce devatenáctého století, přes oslňující klasický Hollywood začátku dvacátého století, mafiány řízené Las Vegas, a ještě mnohem dál.
