The Gathering

THE BESTSELLING QUEEN OF HORROR TURNS HER HAND TO VAMPIRES . . .

WELCOME TO DEADHART. ALASKA. POPULATION 673. LIVING.
‘Britain’s female Stephen King’ Daily Mail
---

A boy is found with his throat ripped out,
the blood drained from his body. It’s not the first
such killing, and the town knows who to blame:
the vampyr colony in the mountains.

But out-of-state detective Barbara Atkins think the evidence
doesn’t stack up. People are lying.
And Deadhart has a history of dark secrets.

The snow keeps falling, but so do the victims.
Time is running out for Barbara.
Is she hunting a cold-blooded murderer,
or a bloodthirsty monster?

And which does she fear most?
