    The story is narrated by the scion of the Delapore family, who has moved from Massachusetts to his ancestral estate in England, known as Exham Priory. On several occasions, the protagonist and his cats hear the sounds of rats scurrying behind the walls. Upon investigating further, he finds that his family maintained an underground city for centuries and that the inhabitants of the city fed on human flesh, even going so far as to raise generations of human cattle, who eventually began to de-evolve due to their sub-human living conditions.
    
    The Rats in the Walls was written in September 1923 and first published in Weird Tales, March 1924.

    “They say art imitates life. 
    But here, art demands the sacrifice of life. 
    The students bleed, 
    and we— 
    we applaud their devotion.” 
    —From the diary of Madame E. 
    Some places remember pain; 
    Not as memory, but as hunger. 
    Not in the way we humans remember, with trauma, 
    but deeper—like a house that groans for what once happened within its wall. 
    There is a ballet academy hidden in the folds of the Carpathians, carved into the woods like a secret no one dares to speak aloud. It welcomes young women dancers from across Europe-those who dream of perfection, of ovations, of fame. 
    But perfection demands sacrifice. And some sacrifices never end. 
    Elisa, our protagonist, arrives at the reclusive ballet academy, 
    tucked away in a forgotten corner of Europe, 
    a place steeped in rigid tradition and unyielding discipline. 
    But it doesn’t take long before the unease begins to seep in. 
    The mirrors do not reflect as they should— 
    Some bleed. 
    The students move with eerie precision, 
    like marionettes whose strings are pulled from somewhere unseen. 
    And then, 
    one by one, 
    they begin to disappear. 
    Inspired by classic European horror films, this chilling and suspenseful tale follows the protagonist, Elisa, as she enrolls in a secluded ballet school located in a remote corner of Europe. There, she begins to experience strange occurrences and gradually uncovers the dark secrets hidden within the school’s elegant façade.

    What the New Order Seeks, Reginald Must Find... 
    The new vampire president and his psychotic right-hand man have been playing a dangerous game with the humans over the past six months. In the public eye, the two races appear to be at peace ... but the situation below the surface is hot enough to boil. 
    And while the untrusting humans mass their defenses, vampire armies have been building to match them — with plans to exterminate the planet's current inhabitants, saving only a handful of blood slaves. 
    Reginald, Nikki, Maurice, and the others bunkered in at Maurice's estate find themselves in the middle of a no-win scenario: Is it better to fight with their own kind in the vampire revolution? Or should they turn traitors — and risk extermination by the angels — in order to protect the humans? 
    But just as the cold war outside is about to turn hot, Reginald's ever-expanding vampire brain reveals the existence of an artifact that could predict the outcome of the coming war … and maybe even a way to stop it. The only problem is that nobody knows where the artifact is, and when war then breaks and mass slaughter begins on both sides, it seems that time may have run out. 
    Fat Vampire 5 is the biggest, bloodiest, most snack-filled installment in the Fat Vampire series so far, and sets the stage for the sixth book's epic series-ender — a conclusion so big it’ll shake the human world’s foundations.
