Dorian awakens and discovers the world turned a little bit more…uncivilized.
The undead roam the Earth, infecting humans and turning their bodies into useless sacks of decaying flesh.
For a vampire, hunting for sustenance wasn’t so literal of a term…until now.
Now, Dorian’s quest for survival is a three-way struggle between himself, the undead, and a band of zealous humans eager to cut him down.
Years of hunting has made Dorian into the ultimate predator; a realization humans are about to experience again.
Run from the corpses.
Run from him.
It won’t make a difference.
Everyone’s dead anyway.
Scavenging for blood is difficult. Feeding two is nearly impossible.
Dorian is no longer alone in the world of the undead. Now with someone under his protection, hunting for food consumes him.
But the constant threat of the Nightwalkers forces Dorian to change his plans…and someone is going to pay.

Stumbling on a group of children, the survivors force him to reconsider a vow he made after his daughter’s death.
The apocalypse has destroyed the old ways, and soon he must choose between his lust for blood and a moral code he’s sworn to obey.

Blood will be shed. His convictions…challenged. And his future…questionable.

I'm dreaming of a Dark Christmas
With every little tale that I read
When the knife blades glisten
And scared children listen
To hear slayers in the night
Where sugarplums can be gory
In the frightening elf story
And trees eat favorite household pets
There are gifts on all the pages
Of terror through the ages
Told of gift giving regrets
I'm dreaming of a Dark Christmas
With every little tale I read
While the bright lights shine
And the family dines In the soft fireplace glow
So hold loved ones tight
It's not Santa visiting tonight
Death lies buried in the snow.
