Summary
Ever since Louis died, Owen’s nightmares have stayed consistent: a white-haired man with Louis’s face tied to a pyre and burnt alive, flames licking up the peeling wood of a building; screams, blood, claws, hell opening under him, hell opening within him. He’s memorised the settings he sees in these phantasmagoria: cobweb-filled forests, leviathan bodies of water, a walled town he fears atavistically, inexplicably.
His research of the place in his mind has matched with the description of the ancient, mythical town of Oakhurst. The one filled with vampires, if the myths are true.
Whoever’s given him this book can’t have seen what he dreamed of, can they? He opens it and coughs, flapping the dust out of his face.
At fifteen, Owen meets Louis, who changes his life.
At thirty-four, Owen lives a magically mundane life with Legundo, until a book shows up on his doorstep.
