JOHN CARPENTERS KNIGHT TERRORS BLOOD OF THE TAKEN TP VOL 02 NEXT OF KIN (MR)

In this sequel to the acclaimed graphic novel Blood of the Taken, winter settles over Glennburne Falls, Massachusetts, wrapping the town in relentless darkness. In the home of the ancient vampire Theo, time appears to stand still: together with her new acolyte Liam, she watches over whether his newly bitten friend Ed will survive the coming nights. To Theo, Liam and Ed form a family — and she will stop at nothing to protect them.

As the living draw ever closer to uncovering Theo's new clan, the recently escaped vampire Ellis roams freely through the town. But Theo is patient — centuries have taught her so. Liam wrestles with his new reality as a vampire, but his bloodlust drives him into nightmarish obsessions. To his horror, he willingly delivers victim after victim to Theo — his tormentor and creator. Refusing would mean Ed's death.

Ed, closer to death than even vampires dare to be, pursues the cold mists of Theo's mind to unearth the secrets of her past. If he can only dig deep enough, he might find a way to survive — and, with luck, escape Theo's relentless claws, perhaps even with Liam at his side.

As Theo's shadow threatens to fully consume Ed and Liam, they realize that their night is truly eternal. In the realm of the undead, all they have is each other — but how can one soul find another in the endless darkness of vampires?
