Dracula Journals: Ravaged Souls

by Thom Reese

Dracula kept a journal. A firsthand account of his life, death, and resurrection as a creature of the night. But this journal is more than just words. It carries the very essence of the vampire himself. And through the mysterious power of the journal, Dracula still lives.

1977: A small Midwestern town. There are disappearances, strange deaths, bloodless corpses. One man, Conner Mulligan, the survivor of a vampire encounter a decade earlier, recognizes the signs and enlists the aid of Jonathan Van Helsing, a man whose family has been at war with vampires, and with Dracula in particular, since the late eighteen hundreds. It’s been fifteen years since Van Helsing last encountered Dracula, but he recognizes this series of strange and brutal murders as the work of the legendary vampire. And so he and his adult children join Mulligan in this small isolated town with the goal of slaying Dracula once and for all. But there is more to these increasingly savage deaths than they’d anticipated, a sinister plan conceived by the vampire demon. And as the body count grows, the hunters realize that they are now the hunted, and that they must fight for their very survival or join Dracula in his eternal midnight.
