Banquet of Shadows

By Lucas Pogrzebny

EIGHT PERFECT STRANGERS . . . ONE TERRIFYING MYTH.

A gothic mystery, in equal parts thriller and horror, in which the thin line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred with each new victim. Are vampires real? Would you give your neck to find out?

1888. Loire Valley, France.
Following the mysterious invitation of Baron Francis Darcrois, Lucien arrives at the Ch?teau Darcrois for a "banquet of the most unusual". His help is needed to solve the baron's late father's enigma, which could point to the real culprit behind his strange death . . . but Lucien and the seven other guests' intentions share a certain darkness. The kind that keeps skeletons well-hidden in closets.

When their conversations start veering away from the humanly logical, and toward a paranormal creature of the night, the group will start to notice things are amiss with the so-called baron . . . and soon, they'll realize they've fallen into a macabre trap. One by one, they will be murdered in the fashion of an old incident, the Case of the Crimson Maiden, which took place in the same mansion and its infamous Crimson Salon, seven years ago.

Now, as the clock strikes midnight in this locked house, lost in the middle of the forest, Lucien and the others struggle for understanding and for survival... Is the culprit one of them, masking their crimes with an old legend? Or could it actually be something inhuman . . . a supernatural apparition that has finally come out of the darkest night for a taste of blood?
