When the sun goes down, the hunger begins. Yesterday, they ruled a lonely monastery on a deserted island in the Pacific Northwest. Tonight, an entire city is theirs. They are the New Ones, a thoroughly modern breed of vampire terrifyingly unlike the blood-feeding Ancients who came before them. Now Seattle bursts with the unholy presence of nocturnal predators, for whom the hot, salty liquid from their living victims means not only survival, but superhuman power - and indescribable ecstasy. Those they feed on rise again. They climb from beneath darkened streets, driven by a raging thirst that can never be sated. The humans who hunt them say there is nothing in this world that can't be destroyed. They're wrong...
Synopsis:
Somebody -- or something was stalking the streets of Washington, DC, leaving corpses everywhere from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol steps. The victims had nothing in common, except the bad luck to be on the Mall and twin bite wounds on their necks. Sent undercover to stop the murders, Avery Morgan assumed he was after a psychotic with a taste for blood. But the closer the hardened detective got to catching the killer, the more convinced he became that he was on the trail of a horrifying evil as old and unstoppable as time itself.
Synopsis:
Williamson (The Book of Webster's) goes for the jugular in this unusual vampire tale set in contemporary New York City, but he misses the vein. Marshall Madison, a vampire, is caught by his wife Deborah attempting to "vampirize" their son Thaddie. A series of events leads to Deborah's suicide, Marshall's disappearance, Thaddie's move to foster parents and his sister Caroline's adoption by Brooklyn taxi driver Jake Spencer and his wife. When Thaddie runs away (to an abandoned hotel where he lives with a pack of rats), everyone begins to search for him, including Marshall, who kills anyone who gets in his way, and Jake, who enlists the help of a group of hack friends. When focusing on vampirism and Thaddie's growing realization of what he is to become, this novel is absorbing, but it lacks the horrifying realism that marked The Book of Webster's. With stilted, old-fashioned dialogue and anticlimactic, unsatisfying fates assigned to Marshall and Thaddie, this fresh approach to the vampire mythos is unlikely to set off nightmares.

Something deadly. Then he noticed the bite marks on his neck. That was the beginning of Elmo Land's new life.

The world of the vampire.
