Joe is the vampire. There are none like him on earth.
Changing, morphing, and adopting the habits of the humans he hunts, the
nightmare has been stalking this globe for tens of thousands of years. Sadly,
he only remembers the last couple of thousand, the years where he forgot his
love for humans. An old memory – the oldest Joe has – is what erased that love.
One man, with one failed promise, crushed his soul and destroyed any love he
felt in his heart. When a new promise comes to remind him, everything he thinks
he knows is turned upside down. He must crawl out of the deep pit of melancholy
that he has sunk into and regain his former glory. The only thing in the
Universe that matters to him depends on it.
Evelyn
is more than she knows, more than a loner that hides out in an old bookstore
that her mother left her. That store – The Witches Tool Chest – is her whole
world and her only connection to the woman that she never really knew. She died
when Evelyn was three years old, leaving behind the store and a series of
journals that comprise Evelyn’s knowledge of her. The daughter of a witch,
Evelyn knows that she has some kind of power. She can feel it. The spells in
mother’s books never work for her though. Intuition tells her that mother
passed some kind of ability to her, something in her genes. Without
anyone to guide her though, what can she do with it? Visions come to her,
like intense daydreams. Sometimes the events she sees in these visions
come to pass almost immediately, other times it takes hours and still other
times it will be days or weeks. Strange warmth flows throughout her body
when they come, like relaxing in a hot tub. That sensation is followed by
dizziness and then the vision. Whenever that happens, she knows that she
is seeing the future. It never fails. She has no control of it though.
When they come, they come. She can’t make it happen. Perhaps it is something
about that openness that leads her to Joe or leads Joe to her. She can’t be sure.
Whatever it is, it feels right. Chasing that feeling will change her simple
life forever.
Joe and Evelyn are just two of the characters in author Mike Reynold's latest book…
When
a vampire loses his love of the hunt he is left with nothing but his hunger…
That
is precisely where Joe finds himself at the beginning of Hell and the Hunger.
He simply doesn’t want to be alive any longer but it hurts too much not to
feed. Spiraling slowly into a deep pit of melancholy, the once proud hunter has
been reduced to combing bars for drunken women to feed on. Then he finds her.
Evelyn
is a wonderful enigma. She lacks the emptiness that normally sits behind the
eyes of the humans Joe hunts and awakens longings in him that he hasn’t felt in
so long they feel foreign. He follows her on a journey that leaves him burned,
battered, and nearly dead.
By the time Joe realizes that there was a reason he and Evelyn were
brought together, she has been taken. With the aid of an old priest in an
abandoned cathedral, Joe begins to regain his former glory. He needs to
remember who he was before he became a nightmare lurking in the shadows. He
will have to fight to the center of Hell and back if he wants to save his one
reason in the Universe to live.
