Welcome to Parr's Landing, Population 1,528... and shrinking. The year is 1972. Widowed Christina Parr, her daughter Morgan, and her brother-in-law Jeremy have returned to the remote northern Ontario mining town of Parr's Landing, the place from which Christina fled before Morgan was born, seeking refuge. Dr. Billy Lightning has also returned in search of answers to the mystery of his father's brutal murder. All will find some version of what they seek - and more. Built on the site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit mission to the Ojibwa, Parr's Landing is a town with secrets of its own buried in the caves around Bradley Lake. A three-hundred-year-old vampire is slumbering there, calling out to the insane and the murderous for centuries, begging for release - an invitation that has finally been answered. One man is following that voice, cutting a murderous swath across the country, bent on a terrible resurrection of the ancient horror... plunging the town and all its people into an endless night.

вкрай спокуслива історія: вампірятник, хронотоп - сімдесяті роки в маленькому канадському містечку, в історичних екскурсах присутні єзуїти, які активно засовують бога в горло автохтонному населенню. багато крові, люди-монстри і монстри-монстри, брак надмірного жалю до дійових осіб, який заважав би пускати їх на м'ясо, - цим доволі знайомим комплектом тому й користуються, що він працює.
у першій частині книжки, щоправда, є кілька випадків, коли автор плутає імена, але ті персонажі все одно були тільки аперитивом.
