From the Bride of Samael

By Luther E. Koon

They were here before the age of vampires--ruthless and deadly, yet they appealed to the most basic of human drives. Had no foe been spawned to balance them, it is doubtless a single mortal would have survived. Long forgotten and relegated to figments of mythology, the few that remain live in isolated places where their feeding will go unnoticed.Lola teaches elementary school and her husband, Bjorn, builds canoes in the quiet town of Aspen Falls. Only a hyperactive little boy named Hugo disturbs their tranquility. When Lola enlists the aid of her Principal, Bill Vinson, to deal with the disciplinary nightmare, she soon suspects that Bill's motives go far beyond simple help.When Bill appears at her home late one night using the excuse of a wolf in the countryside, Lola's suspicions rise. She knows of no instance of wolves in Washington State!Then Sephiste, a long time friend visits and tells of a mutual friend's bizarre death and of a fatal wolf attack on that friend's husband. Lola wonders if that wolf attack and the alleged appearance of one in the woods around her home are related. Could Bill be right? And if so, is the creature lurking in the darkness around her home a mere wolf? Or something worse? But the most terrifying question in her mind is could her Principal somehow be involved?But Sephiste's visit has a deeper purpose, and she tells of a greater danger, an ancient evil more dangerous than any wolf. She warns Lola that it has regenerated.A terrified Lola decides to flee Aspen Falls, but her husband is adamant that they stay. Believing that a deadly storm is approaching, Lola, frantic and confused, second-guesses everyone around her. No one appears to be what she always supposed--not even Bjorn! Could her peaceful existence be about to collapse into a hellish fate, a fate worse than death? In desperation, Lola turns to the one person she hates the most. Can he help? And if he can, should she trust him?
