JOHN CARPENTERS NIGHT TERRORS BLOOD OF THE TAKEN TP VOL 02 NEXT OF KIN

In this sequel to the critically acclaimed graphic novel Blood of the Taken, winter closes down around the town of Glennburne Falls, Massachusetts, pushing it into unrelenting gloom. And like the frost-bit evenings, time seems to have frozen inside the home of the ancient vampire Theo's, who waits with her new acolyte Liam to see if his newly bitten friend Ed will survive the coming nights. For Theo, Liam and Ed form a family – and she will stop at nothing to keep her little family safe. She watches the threat of the living draw ever closer to uncovering the secrets of her new brood. Meanwhile, recently escaped Vampire Ellis runs loose in town. But Theo is patient ... she has learned through the centuries. Liam struggles against his new reality as a Vampire, but his lust for blood drives him to nightmarish obsessions. To his horror, he finds himself willingly bringing an endless sea of victims to Theo ? the one he despises most. His captor. His creator. Despite his hatred, he cannot refuse her sanguine demands ... refusal would mean Ed's demise. Meanwhile Ed, closer to death than even vampires dare to tread, pursues the cold mists of Theo's mind in a quest to unearth the secrets of her past. If he can just dig deep enough, perhaps he can find a way to survive, and with any luck, escape from Theo's unrelenting claws with his soul and body intact? maybe even with Liam in tow. As Theo's shadow begins to envelop Ed and Liam completely, they come to realize their night is truly eternal. In the land of the undead, all they have to grasp onto is each other. But how can one soul find another in the endless darkness of the Vampire?
