The Harker family is unlike any other Fortune may pervade their most recent descendants, but it's their misfortune, a hereditary illness, that sets them apart from the rest or as long as the surviving clan wishes to procreate, no single cure can absolve them or their offspring from this bloodborne affliction.

Their only option is therapy, and it only comes in one form: religion nter twenty-seven-year-old bartender, Malcolm Harker As someone who works late-night shifts, Malcolm never has the energy to attend Sunday services, a fact his family is none too pleased with.

Or are they happy with Malcolm's coworker and cohort, Jerry, or girlfriend, Holly, whom they perceive as bad influences But when he faces a bloody one-night stand that lands him in the hospital, he falls in line and finds his way back into the pews of his local church hat's where the revelations begin.

With the body and blood of Christ leading to a stomach-churning episode, Malcolm's sister, Rachel, and grandfather, Quincy, finally reveal the dark secret they've been hiding from him his entire life racula's blood runs through the Harker family veins, and devotion to God is the only method by which they can thwart a vampiric transformation Shocked but intrigued by this admission, Malcolm enlists Jerry and Holly in his quest to verify his family's account he only problem is that to unearth the truth, he must also unearth something else dangerous long-buried Connecting his bloodline to that of the infamous voivode is only half the battle he other half rests in Malcolm's own hands with the fate of his family and even humanity hanging in the balance Pulsating throughout with the sweet nectar of a midnight snack, Blood of the Impaler finds Jeffrey Sackett drawing upon the romantic mysticism of Bram Stoker's Dracula to create a sequel unparalleled in the world of vampire mania t's a novel truly committed to the lore set forth by the grandmaster himself There's no shortage of wooden stakes, crucifixes, garlic cloves, or puncture wounds nd of course, it features the man thought to have inspired it all: Vlad the Impaler However, his inclusion means this story isn't for the faint of heart nd though it may be based more on fiction than fact, Sackett's novel still serves as a prime example of evil's tenacity even beyond the grave Which is all the more reason to take his words seriously kipping your house of worship the next Sabbath may cost you more than just a few points with the Lord up above Our edition of Jeffrey Sackett's Blood of the Impaler has the following features: Five interior illustrations, dustjacket, book cover, and endpaper artwork by Franois Vaillancourt; reverse dustjacket art, top-edge stain, and ribbon marker ach copy is signed by Jeffrey Sackett and Franois Vaillancourt.
