Résumé :
A TASTE FOR BLOOD Maine, 1820. Lost in a blizzard, a young woodcutter seeks refuge in an isolated cabin, never suspecting that the recluse who lives there is not what he appears to be-or that the strange-tasting brew he's offered isn't tea. Too late, the woodcutter realizes that he is doomed to wander the earth, consumed by a raging thirst that can only be sated with human blood. A THIRST FOR MORE Houston, Present Day. For more than a century, he has hunted for fresh prey to feed his inhuman need. Now, his immortality threatened by a deadly blood disease raging across the globe-and pulsing in his own veins-he brilliantly reinvents himself as a world-renowned doctor, racing against time to find the cure that will save him. A HUNGER FOR DEATH As death shadows the infected doctor, ER Physician Matthew Carter and forensic pathologist Samantha Scott are in their own desperate race to find a vicious serial killer who leaves his victims' bodies horrifically drained of blood. A killer who is poised to strike again . . . and is closer than they think. If you read one horror book this year, read this one! -William W. Johnstone
