Out on the road, you find out who you really are.
What you really are…
Escaped killer Daniel is sure of himself. Armed and dangerous, devil-may-care; he's a hunter – a vampire – on the run from the police and enjoying the ride.
Sarah, she's just lost; escaping a troubled home, she's running from herself. Until she meets Daniel, she has no idea she's running for her life…
Poor Sarah, she doesn't know who or what she is, but Daniel knows – and he's going to show her. The two of them were made for each other…
Daniel's desire will take them both on a road trip to sex and murder, and the destination will reveal far more than either cares to know about themselves.
It's a relationship blessed in blood – and death is coming along for the ride…
Mark Cantrell is one of those curious creatures that likes to live by the word. Well, it's better than living by the sword because everyone knows how that ends. Born and bred in Bradford, West Yorkshire, he now lives in Stoke-on-Trent, making him something of a Tyke in exile. Mark is the author of two novels -- Citizen Zero (2017) and Silas Morlock (2013) -- both published by indie press Inspired Quill.
Nature or nurture, it's a moot point when you find yourself becoming a vampire. Daniel was never bitten, but you might say he was bitten by the bug. Left to face the changes alone, when his rogue DNA began to assert itself, all he could do was make his own understanding out of the pop-cult mythos, making it a part of his identity. We make our own monsters, then we invite them to consume us -- and damn them for it.
Book Excerpt
One For The Road
"He's human, and he's one of them. His entire medical history is in there. Not much as it turns out – he's always been remarkably healthy. The genes, you know. Birth certificate, social security, it's all there. A burgeoning criminal record, too, just petty things to begin with until he dropped off the map and went, well, wild. It's a potted history of a normal kid who started to go off the rails when he was about 14 or 15. Now we know why. For all intents and purposes, he is a real vampire. No wonder he's nuts."
