Not all vampire novels are truly works of horror! Tired of the same old sentimental, romantic undead. Check out my page. I am sure you will find it disturbing. This is the only vampire novel to date in which the eldest vampires are also the angels who fell from heaven. I have included the first ten pages of Communion in my blog so that you can see what you’re getting into. I hope you will find it disturbing. Something evil has awakened in the mountains of Colorado. Nathaniel Croft, a detective for the Denver Police Department, is involved in an investigation regarding bloodless homicides. Those who know the secret move quickly to prevent him from learning more. Their efforts are wasted. In Las Vegas, Nevada, thirteen year old Justin Carpenter has a prophetic vision of a snow covered mountain. Something terrible awaits him at the summit, and yet he is compelled to climb. His is persecuted by his classmates and eventually placed in a mental institution. This is where the real horror begins! Check out my page to order or read the first two chapters yourself.
