Shadows in the Dark
A year after the events in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, unrelated but similar diabolical occurrences took place in the Great Lakes area of a young United States. Evil has booked passage aboard the Great American as it sets sail for Chicago. Aware of the ship’s dark reputation of death and mysterious mishap, a desperate crew composed of a murderous convict, two priests, a doctor of sorts and able-bodied misfits falls prey one by one to a formidable evil on the open sea. It’s old-school vampires inspired by Bram Stoker’s original vampire tale as well as the Hammer films, told with originality by a new voice in horror fiction.
