by Julian Hawthorne (Author)

A cursed Irish legend comes to life. A beautiful woman, a vampire's feast, and a journey beyond time.

The cheerful artist Keningale returns to New York a changed man: moody, withdrawn, and haunted by a mysterious European sojourn and a disastrous love affair. On Halloween, when the dead traditionally walk, he decides to confess the source of his terror to a friend. His tale begins in the ancient, superstitious countryside of Ireland, where he first heard the local legend of Ehelind Fionguala, "the white-shouldered." Betrothed to one man, she was stolen away by a party of vampires destined for a sinister supper where she was not to eat but to be eaten.

Julian Hawthorne's atmospheric tale of Gaelic lore and romantic horror brilliantly blurs the lines between vampirism and fairy enchantment, proving that the most beautiful temptations often come from the grave, and they steal more than just your blood they steal your time.
