For readers who enjoy Anne Rice's morally complex characters, Donna Tartt's psychological depth, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia's atmospheric gothic storytelling comes a haunting exploration of the boundary between delusion and reality.
A Blood of the Revenants Novella (#0.5)
"If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
Years before Erin Conrad learned to hunt vampires, psychiatrist Dr David Sutherland thought he understood the difference between delusion and reality. Then Michael arrived – a patient with no memory, no surname, and a simple claim: he is not human.
As their sessions progress, Michael's quiet certainty begins manifesting in ways that challenge everything David knows about medicine. When blood tests reveal anomalies and Michael demonstrates impossible abilities, David finds himself drawn into a mystery that threatens both his sanity and his life.
But some patients cannot be cured. Some truths are too dangerous to uncover. And some creatures, once awakened to their true nature, cannot be contained.
A haunting glimpse into the mind of a creature caught between memory and monster, Michael explores the dangerous territory where medicine meets the supernatural – and where a doctor's oath to "do no harm" becomes a luxury he can no longer afford.
Set in the world of The Gloaming, this standalone story can be read independently or as a companion to the Blood of the Revenants series.
N.B. Michael contains depictions of psychiatric themes, violence, and adult situations and is only recommended for readers 18+.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
