Description
The ancient Abbots Bromley Horn Dance has taken place in Abbots Bromley, England every year since 1226 and has roots beginning in pagan times. Thousands of years ago back in the Stone Age, men with bows and arrows used to stalk other men wearing animal skins and head-dresses. They used to mime a successful hunt as a symbolic empowerment over an actual quarry.The year 2000 is to be no different except that this time, human blood is to be spilt. After a fluke accident and a death, strange things start to happen to Neville's ex-fiancée, to her parents and to her husband and his twin brother when they attend a rugby union football test match in Dublin, Ireland.Just what is this strange power that Neville, (Morris dancer, laboratory technician and part-time art student) seems to have over them all? Do vampires really exist? And most important of all, can a painting make a thing of beauty last forever?
