 Eric Hayes is a stringer. One notch below the lowest rung of the journalistic ladder. A video vulture preying on police chases, ambulance runs, and random street violence, selling his footage to the highest bidder and living on a steady diet of cigarettes and bloodlust. For years, Eric has lived off of other people s pain and misery. But he s about to discover something beneath the streets of Los Angeles even hungrier for blood than he is. He s about to discover THE GHOULS.
