Summary: Vampires are a legend, myth.  They are the stuff of nightmare, born from superstition, fear, and the remnants of old prejudices.  But now Edward must reevaluate everything he thought he knew about truth and reality, about monsters and legends.

Edward is a graduate student struggling to complete his dissertation.  He’s overworked, stressed, and tired.  And he’d really rather not go back to his advisor to ask for yet another extension.  Unfortunately, however, looming deadlines are soon to become the least of his problems.  He’s hearing the voices again, but he knows he’s not going mad (he can’t be!).  But then something happens that threatens to throw his entire world off its axis.  Something that will threaten his sanity, his hold on reality, and ultimately his life.

On his way home one evening, Edward encounters a stranger…a stranger who knows exactly who he is and who wants something Edward possesses quite desperately.

And suddenly Edward is plunged into a world of nightmares.  A world where the legends are true and monsters exist, and he must re-evaluate everything he’s ever believed in order to survive.
