Harker's client is the ancient Count Dracula, who lives in a sumptuously furnished castle—one strangely devoid of mirrors.

Literary history and meaning: Dracula, by Bram Stoker, was first published in 1897. This Gothic horror novel is told through a series of letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings, and it follows the story of Count Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England to spread the undead curse. The novel is renowned for its chilling atmosphere, intricate plot, and iconic depiction of the vampire Count Dracula. Dracula is not only a classic work of horror literature but also a cultural phenomenon that has inspired countless adaptations in various media, from film and television to literature and theater. Its enduring relevance lies in its exploration of themes such as the battle between good and evil, the fear of the unknown, and the human fascination with mortality and immortality. Dracula continues to captivate audiences and remains a cornerstone of vampire mythology in popular culture.

In the frigid west Texas desert, weary travelers converge at a lonely roadside motel nestled at the foot of a massive mountain. Ethan and Hunter have left behind a corpse, a fire, and a horrific act of violence. Kyla and Fernanda are fleeing for the border. Stanley and his granddaughter are returning from Mexico with a mysterious man in hot pursuit. All of them are on the run from something. All of them are hiding something.

And somehow, they're all connected to the motel's other guest, an enigmatic woman named Sarah Powers.

Within hours, Sarah is dead. The strange twins who run the Brake Inn Motel inform the surviving guests that her murder demands justice. The guests are given an ultimatum: uncover the killer by midnight--or die when the protective lights around the motel go out.

Because something very old and very dangerous lurks in this corner of the desert. And it's hungry.

But nothing at the Brake Inn Motel is quite as it seems. As time ticks away, alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and the guests will not only have to confront the violence of the past--they will need to face the darkness within themselves.
