Synopsis

This novel was originally published under the title A Daughter of the Marionis and was reprinted several times. The story of a vendetta, makes a capital plot for the novelist who takes characters from Southern life for his story, and in Margharita, “a daughter of the Marionis,” we have a not impossible character. She does not appear till late in the story, but takes up the vendetta of her uncle with a will. Marionis himself is a fine figure, and the scene when, having been let out of prison an old man, he seeks to resume his scheme of vengeance, and visits the degenerate committee of the “White Hyacinth Society” is full of stern pathos. The struggle Margharita has between love and hatred is also well described, and the interest in the story is never allowed to flag, and it continues absorbing to the end.

    Douglas River is a nightclub owner in Morgantown, West Virginia. River is also a vampire who, after nearly two centuries of bloodsucking, suddenly discovers he's becoming human again--he's starting to see himself in the mirror, blood makes him sick, daylight doesn't bother him, and other worse things are starting to happen. 
    Normally, this might not present too much of a problem. But in River's case, he needs to find a cure…fast. He's one of the vampire elite, and after his secret leaks out, other vampires want to kill him so they can usurp his position. 
    River also has the problem of a team of vampire hunters who've been after him for ages, trying to kill him, too. 
    The unsympathetic and bloodthirsty River is the sort of fellow who loves being godlike and hates the concept of becoming human. He's desperately looking for his cure and will stop at nothing to end his Vampire’s Nightmare.
