An ancient predecessor of modern-day vampires casts its evil upon the peaceful Montana town of Bloomgarden circa 1980s, where high-schooler Chris Barrett, his friends, a mysterious old man and a self-righteous preacher must learn to deal with these formidable demons while wrestling with their inner ones. Celebrated as the author's first published work, this was also the first in a succession of early Nicholas Grabowsky horror-fantasies penned under the Randers name circa 1980s horror mass market paperbacks in the US and beyond. A small band of teenagers dying for a little something new. A smalltown preacher whose fiery sermons once had an entire population on its knees. A mysterious old man. It didn't take too long for Chris Barrett to realize that whatever it was his father brought home one night, it was unmistakably evil. And in the small Montana town, people started to become quite different almost overnight. They became twisted, malevolent abominations to God. Abominations with an unnatural hunger for flesh and blood. No one in the town had a prayer; for demons have no one to pray to.
