The Terror of Central Mass

Richard St. Martin is a nearly eight-hundred-year-old vampire living in central Massachusetts in 2009. Born in Lancashire, England, during the thirteenth century, he is a knight of noble birth and one of the most powerful and ruthless vampires alive.

But Martin's world is forever changed when Jabez, a three-thousand-year-old vampire with a penchant for the indiscriminate killing of innocents, enters his realm. When Martin kills two of his rival's fledgling vampires, Jabez retaliates by kidnapping Martin's new love, setting into motion an epic battle between the two ancient vampires. The battle rages through Massachusetts, England, and Germany, before finally culminating in a castle in Romania, where apparent victory for Martin leaves him with the unexpected burden of a family of novice vampires, humans, and thralls that could ultimately lead to his doom.

Filled with danger, mystery, and literal bloodlust, "The Terror of Central Massachusetts: The Story of Martin" is a rich tale of the undead in the vein of Anne Rice and Stephen King that follows an ancient vampire's trials and tribulations in the twenty-first century.
