Set in seventeenth-century England, at the height of the Great
Plague epidemic, To Be Damned is a traditional vampire tale in the
vein of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Christian Coleswitten is a priest's
apprentice, summoned from his thankless job of tending to those
dying of the plague by the lecherous Father Samuel Stemmons. In
seeking some holy artifact or relic which would ward off the
plague, Father Stemmons has chanced upon an oddity that at first
blush appears divine in nature. The small rural town of Manasseh
has not reported a single death from the plague - or a single death
at all - in over twenty years. Tasking Christian with traveling to
Manasseh and deducing the cause of the apparent stout health of its
residents, Father Stemmons appoints the Scot mercenary Cotton
Smith-Patton to act as his ward's bodyguard. Together, the two
encounter all manner of strange and diabolical characters before
their journey's horrific end. In the midst of an evil as old as
mankind, Christian unexpectedly encounters the seductive beauty,
Cassandra, who nightly stalks his dreams. Almost too late he
discovers the unholy secret that lies beyond the passion in her
eyes, and in his tortured soul comes to realize that she is among
those-To Be Damned.
