Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's first Saint-Germain novel, "Hotel
Transylvania, "was recently nominated as Vampire Novel of the
Century. Her Saint-Germain cycle, now comprised of more than
twenty-five books, is a masterwork of historical horror fiction.
The vampire Count Saint-Germain has crisscrossed the world many
times, seeking love and the blood of life and seeing humanity at
its best and worst.
In "Night Pilgrims," Saint-Germain is living in a monastery in
Egypt when he is hired to guide a group of pilgrims to underground
churches in southern Egypt. The vampire finds a companion in a
lovely widow who later fears that her dalliance with the Count will
prevent her from reaching Heaven.
The pilgrims begin to fall prey to the trials of travel in the Holy
Lands; some see visions and hear the word of God; others are
seduced by desires for riches and power. A visit to the Chapel of
the Holy Grail brings many quarrels to a head; Saint-Germain must
use all his diplomacy and a good deal of his strength to keep the
pilgrims from slaughtering one another.
