|  | | Dead Man's Song
The seciting sequel to the award-winning Ghost Road Blues. In the aftermath of Karl Ruger's savage murder spree the people of Pine Deep think that the horror is over. But Ruger is one finger on the hand of the monster who is reaching out of the darkness to crush the entire town.
It was October when it happened. It should always be October when these things happen. In October you expect things to die.
In October the sun shrinks away, it hides behind mountains and throws long shadows over small towns like Pine Deep. Especially towns like Pine Deep. The wind grows new teeth and it learns to bite. The colors fade from deep summer greens to the mournful browns and desiccated yellows of autumn.

FROM A NEW MASTER OF HORROR COMES AN APOCALYPTIC SHODOWN BETWEEN THE RESIDENTS OF A SECLUDED, RURAL TOWN AND A DEADLY, INESCAPABLE EVIL...
EVIL DOESN’T DIE
Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have passed since a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. Now residents and tourists enjoy the country’s largest Halloween celebration in what is cheerfully called “The Spookiest Town in America.”
IT JUST GROWS STRONGER
But a month before Halloween it begins again.
Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity.
And an ancient evil walking the streets,
seeking to shred the very soul of this vulnerable community.
Yes, the people of Pine Deep have faced a killer before.
But this time, evil has many faces—and the lust and will to rule.
This struggle will be epic.
"If I were asked to select only one new voice in horror fiction to read today, it would be Jonathan Maberry. Ghost Road Blues jumps so easily out of his blend of words, images, and characters you hardly realize you're reading a novel rather than watching a movie."

Author of The Vampire Companion: The Official Guide to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Piercing the Darkness: Undercover with Vampires in America Today., Ghost, Cemetery Stories, and The Science of Vampires.

Some of these creatures drink blood, others consume life essence and even sexual potency. Some vampires can fly, cast reflections in mirrors, cross running water, even walk around in daylight!
