Successful sculptor Barry Ryan is in search of a blood relative for
his bone marrow transplant; being adopted, he must travel to the
town of Auraria where a genealogist has traced his ancestry. His
adoptive sister Jen and her boyfriend Jackson join Barry on the
trip, but what they find is a town abandoned. Except for the
dead-who never really left. By day, the creatures that inhabit this
town are but ghostly remnants of their former selves. At night,
however, they transform into a physical-and lethal-form. There's no
escaping Auraria with all roads leading back to where they started,
and Barry, Jen, and Jackson know that joining a band of survivors
is their only hope. Struggling against his own dark urges, Barry
flees to an old, abandoned plantation. It is at this plantation,
Barry's familial home, that he discovers his own tragic heritage.
That his family is under the control of an evil entity called
Evangeline due to a series of events initiated over a hundred years
earlier by Ezra Rhodes, Barry's distant relative. Mixing science
fiction with horror, and the real with the supernatural, William
McNally brings to life a world where the past maintains a firm grip
on the present, and man's own fatal desires are brought
disturbingly to light. Readers of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will
delight in this chillingly oppressive tale.
