Sinopse

"WANTED: A secretarial assistant with boldness and imagination, according to a retired clergyman. Single; unworldly; tenor voice and some understanding of Hebrew required. Make use of Philip Skale." Robert Spinrobin was desperate for work, so he accepted the challenge, taking the bait entirely. "Unworldly" lit the match, and he burst into flames. He looked to have the other requirements, as he had a thin tenor voice that was not unmusical, as well as a smattering of Hebrew that he had picked up at Cambridge because he enjoyed the fine, high-sounding names of deities and angels found in that language. He grouped courage and imagination with the rest of them. He would come to regret his dare.

Could this stranger’s tale of a pit of bones be connected? With help from disgraced deputy Marco DeLucca and Zadie Person, a local journalist  investigating an acid mine spill, Darrick and Lourana push against everyone who tries to block the truth. Along the way, the bonds of love and friendship are tested, and bodies pile up on both sides.In a town where the river flows orange and the founding—and controlling—family is rumored to “strip a man to the bones,” the conspiracy that bleeds Redbird runs as deep as the coal veins that feed it.

    A college weekend turns into a bloody nightmare in this “heady mix of high-octane horror, razor-sharp characterization, and full-throttle action” (Tim Waggoner, author of Like Death). 
     
    Every Saturday night during football season, College Heights is overrun by a frenzy of hard-partying students. For the local brewery, it’s a recipe for success. For many others, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. But this Saturday night is different.  Because instead of beer-pong and karaoke, College Heights is about to become a maelstrom of arson, murder, and cannibalism.  
     
    One minute, everyone’s having a blast. The next minute, the crowded bars, balconies, and house parties look like so many acres of hell. Now a charismatic drug dealer, a disenfranchised army vet, and a smart, tough-as-leather girl must struggle to survive. Meanwhile, a brilliant, demented sociopath gleefully strolls the chaos, fulfilling sadistic fantasies.

    "The most unique vampire story since 'SALEMS LOT." - George A. Romero 
    "A gripping plotline and good old-fashioned Gothic horror." - Fangoria 
    For two hundred years, he has rested. Now he rises. Now he will be satisfied. Nothing can stop him. No one can resist him. 
    Benjamin Latham is young and handsome, his eighteenth-century mind wakened to a bizarre twentieth-century world. And there is the need deep within . . . an animal need, frightening, murderous, unholy . . . a vital need that must be fed. 
    And with his need comes a power over men and women to do his bidding, to quiet his dark craving . . . 
    Until the murders begin. 
    And the inquiries. All suggesting the same hideous truth. 
    Now Benjamin must find a sanctuary: a lover, a partner, a friend. Someone who can share his darkness. Someone he can lead to . . . The Awakening.
