This short story from international bestselling author Kane Gilmour continues the nostalgic look at Dracula begun in the novel The Crypt of Dracula, and takes place immediately after the events of that book. In 1899, a simple stone craftsman and his mute wife engaged in a battle for their lives with the dread king of vampires, at an old castle in the rural mountains of Hungary. Defeated, yet still undead, the count known only as Dracula flees to the far northern Scottish isles of Orkney. On those windswept craggy shores, he could start again, with a new manservant, in a new town, at a different yet still crumbling edifice, far from persecution. Until the dead begin to pile up. Until his beastly urges force him to take more and more victims from a tiny village that all too quickly notices their missing. As the townspeople frantically discuss what can be done and what must be done, on the most terrifying night of the year—All Hallows’ Eve—only one resident of the tiny village can muster the courage to face the ancient evil stalking the land, risking her life and her very soul in the process.
