Lie Still The Dead

VIRGINIA, 2016. After the body of a seven-year-old boy is found drained of blood, Williamsport Police Detective Nathan Alderson is left with more questions than answers. When the evidence leads him to an even more nightmarish discovery, Alderson forms an unlikely alliance with a troubled college professor. Together, they confront and attempt to destroy a sinister presence lurking in the forest. But the cunning vampire dominates them physically, tests their bonds of loyalty, and threatens to devour their sanity. Will the hunters find a way to stop the ravenous monster before she kills again?

In this standalone sequel to Come Forth in Blood, Ryan Henry and Matthew Heilman have combined elements of modern police procedurals and atmospheric gothic horror to deliver one of the most frightening vampire novels in decades.

"First, you'll feel the air pull around you.

Then, the woods will get even darker than they already are.

You'll feel that cold again, and right before it shows itself,

You'll feel something tracing the blood pumping through your veins."
