Cherrytown is a historical-fantasy novel set in an alternate American Revolution. Vampires exist. Werewolves howl a lot. And Samuel Burtwhistle, monster hunter and struggling alcoholic, is just trying to rid himself of a book that devours people's souls.
Cherrytown's combo of Fantasy+Revolutionary War is both fun and fresh! Along with a lovable yet asinine protagonist (in the best way), I definitely recommend.
