  Some sins don't die quietly. One careless, drunken night, Erica kills her best friend and buries the truth beneath layers of lies. Another woman, Jasmine, has blood on her hands. Two women. Two deadly secrets. But the dead don't stay buried. 
  When their paths collide, an ancient darkness awakens something old and hungry, drawn to their guilt like a scent in the dark. Whispers echo in empty rooms. Shadows move when no one's looking. And a demon with a grin like broken glass toys with them both, twisting their crimes into a nightmare they can't escape. 
  Erica wants redemption. Jasmine wants wealth. But the darkness wants them both, and it won't stop until they've paid for every drop of blood they spilled. 
  Run. Hide. Confess. Nothing can save them now. The darkness is waiting, and it's hungry!

  Before Dracula, there was Carmilla — the original vampire novella that forever shaped the gothic horror genre. 
  First published in 1872, Carmilla tells the eerie and sensual tale of a young woman named Laura, who lives in a remote Austrian castle with her father. When the mysterious and alluring Carmilla arrives after a carriage accident, Laura is instantly captivated by her strange guest — and slowly begins to fall under her spell. But as dreams turn to nightmares, and villagers begin to die, Laura uncovers a dark truth that challenges her sanity, her safety, and her soul. 
  With its haunting atmosphere, psychological tension, and groundbreaking themes of female desire, Carmilla is a gothic masterpiece — and one of the earliest and most influential vampire stories in English literature. A must-listen for fans of dark fantasy, classic horror, and Victorian supernatural fiction.

  Once in Hampton Roads, the only thing more prevalent than sailors in this military town are white cargo vans such as the one the killer is linked to.

  It soon becomes apparent that if they are going to have any luck landing the killer, Jerry is going to have to agree to Fred’s plan of casting a wide net and using the most sought-after bait to entice the Hash Mark Killer into the open. Bait like Susie Richardson, the only living person who can positively identify the man. 
  It’s all hands on deck as Max and Savannah come on board to help Jerry and Gunter and to help keep Susie safe. 
  Will the gang be able to use their combined gifts to lure in the Hash Mark Killer? Or will he prove too slippery to be caught?

  Vincent O'Sullivan was born on the 28th November 1868 in New York City.  He was initially educated through the New York public school system before finishing his studies in England.  As a young man he remained in London and travelled often to Paris.  
  O’Sullivan lived a very comfortable life with income from the family coffee business.  He had no real need to work but decided that a literary lifestyle was for him.   
  In 1896 he released his first volume of supernatural fiction ‘A Book of Bargains’.  Within its pages were classic stories that involved pacts with the Devil, reanimated corpses and psychic vampires. 
  Over the course of his career, he wrote a mere 10 volumes of short stories, novels, poetry together with some occasional criticism. 
  In 1909 his brother, who ran the company, entered its resources into some terribly mis-timed trades in coffee futures and ruin for both the company and the family quickly followed. 
  From now until his death O’Sullivan was destitute, life was exceedingly difficult. 
  Vincent O’Sullivan died on the 18th July 1940 in Paris.  He was 71.  He was buried in a paupers grave along with the remains of others.
