Description
A young girl attracts the attention of a killer who's thirsty for blood
Darcy never expected to spend a summer vacation living with her long-lost uncle Jake. Although he's only six years older than her, they have never met. By the end of the summer, she'll know him better than she ever wanted.
Jake and his friends share a dark sense of humor. He lives in the Dungeon, a wax museum filled with gory scenes of famous monsters. His favorite is the statue of Dracula, which stares out with lifelike eyes and crimson lips. His friends seem to be obsessed with vampires, and one of them is even playing Dracula in a play. It's all harmless fun until the bodies of murdered young girls start appearing in the back alleys of their small town-throats cut and necks bitten. One of Jake's friends is playing vampire for real, and he has his eyes on Darcy's neck.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Richie Tankersley Cusick including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

More details
Person
For three decades, Richie Tankersley Cusick (b. 1952) has been one of the most prominent authors of horror fiction for young adults. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana-home to some of the country's most ancient ghosts-Cusick grew up in a small bayou town called Barataria. Inspired by the eerie Louisiana swampland, she began writing at a young age. After college, Cusick took a job at Hallmark and moved to a haunted house in Kansas City, where she began work on her first novel,
Evil on the Bayou, whose success allowed her to leave her job and begin writing fulltime. Since then, Cusick has written more than two dozen novels. She and her three dogs live in North Carolina, where Cusick writes on an antique roll-top desk that was once owned by a funeral director. The desk is, of course, haunted.
