  The undead still carry memories of the past: a phone, a wallet of family photos, an ID. After a ravaging plague has turned humanity into a race of flesh-eating monsters, remembering these victims as people falls on one man—a grieving, hopeless survivor who feels called to collect these artifacts. 
  Years of living in solitude grind away until Viktor discovers the ID of a woman whose photo doesn't match the corpse that carried it. Imagining that she may still be alive, he conjures a plan to track her down by traveling thousands of miles to foster the only thing more dangerous than the dead: HOPE. 
  On this mission he’ll face hordes of the infected, the horrific beast that sparked the outbreak, and an old foe from the past from whom he barely escaped with his own life.

  Vlad The Impaler Dracula - Bram...

  Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula, was a ruler of Wallachia (now part of modern-day Romania) in the mid-15th century. He is perhaps best known for his brutal methods of punishment, including impaling his enemies on stakes and displaying their bodies as a warning to others. This earned him the nickname "Vlad the Impaler" and a reputation as one of history's most ruthless leaders. 
  Vlad was born in 1431 in the city of Sighisoara, Romania. He was the son of Vlad II Dracul, who was a member of the Order of the Dragon, a group established to protect Christianity from the Ottoman Turks. Vlad spent much of his youth in captivity in Hungary, where he was held as a hostage by the Ottomans. 
   
  In 1448, Vlad returned to Wallachia and took the throne from his rival, Vladislav II. During his reign, Vlad was determined to defend Wallachia against the Ottoman Empire, which was seeking to expand its territory in Europe. He engaged in a series of wars against the Ottomans, and his tactics were often brutal. 
   
  Vlad's most infamous method of punishment was impaling, in which a victim was skewered on a stake and left to die slowly. This method was not unique to Vlad, but he was known to use it frequently and with great enthusiasm. He would often impale hundreds or even thousands of prisoners at a time and display their bodies on the outskirts of his cities as a warning to others. 
   
  Despite his brutal reputation, Vlad was also known for his devotion to his people and his efforts to modernize Wallachia. He implemented a strict legal code and worked to improve trade and commerce in the region. He also established a system of orphanages and hospitals to care for the poor. 
   
  Vlad's reign came to an end in 1462, when he was captured by the Ottoman Empire and imprisoned for several years.

  "It was a suffering like no other. And, oh, how they suffered." 
   
   
   
  Recreating the séance that led to the infamous Victorian Suffering massacre seems like a good idea at the time. But Kyle Birbeck soon discovers that the ghosts his distant ancestor banished into the walls of Brackenby House in 1876 have been lurking, waiting for a chance to come out. 
   
   
   
  One by one the five terrifying ghosts latch onto each of the students who reside at Brackenby, preying on their deepest fears: A three-eyed Incan giant. A member of the Hellfire Club who struck a deal with the devil to keep his fortune in the afterlife. A thieving factory hand who fell to his death, torturing them with endless footsteps. An oracle with a horde of dead sailors to do her bidding, and a seventeenth century axe-wielding executioner with a murderous hobby. 
   
   
   
  It's up to Kyle and his friends to uncover the real secrets of the séance and banish the ghosts for good. But they soon come to realize it isn't Brackenby House that's haunted. They are. And the ghosts will stop at nothing to continue The Suffering . . .
