The Low Country of South Carolina has a community of undead afterall...Roland Mathias is four-hundred and eighty four years old and the de facto hero for the Purist/Hunter party of Vampires who believe hunting human prey is the ONLY way to feed. After exposing a political council member from the Self-Preservationist Party (who are peaceful and aim for an altruistic relationship with Man) Roland becomes the object of revenge by getting cursed. This story is told as his curse is progressing. Roland is struggling to finish it all before his mind leaves him. He also plays griot, or storyteller, for the tiny community of undead that live on the Sea Islands of the Carolinas and Georgia. This book of the undead includes descriptions of local undead like Slip Skin Hags, Plat-Eyes, and Swamp Haints. Zombie powder is a featured menu item from local root doctors as are flight roots, invisibility roots, underwater breathing roots, and many other locally produced roots. They are either placed in one's shoe, worn around the neck, or chewed. The prized day walker root quickly becomes Roland's staple for income. He mails them to friends all over the world. Roland does not inhabit his Lair on Pritchard's Island, South Carolina alone...He has his right hand man, Samuel, from Sierra Leone who he converted shortly upon arriving in Charlestown in 1627. Samuel is also an artist and is famous for his giant, sweeping murals made entirely from the bones from their feedings. The murals depict early Vampire legend and myth, revealing a precursor ape, hominid-like Vampire who was nocturnal and thrived on blood. As they evolved, they became self-aware and were told that they were placed on earth to wipe out greedy mortals who would inevitably exploit and drain the planet God had created for them. The Undead of the Low Country is a trilogy. Book One begins in present times. Book Two revisits the Crusades. Book Three transports the reader to ancient Egypt.
