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."
