From legendary horror and suspense writer JOHN RUSSO comes a harrowing tale where no one is safe!  Dealey Plaza is one of the most notorious places in America, and when youthful conspiracy buffs go there in 1964 to stage their own reenactment of the Kennedy Assassination, four of them are brutally murdered -- the first victims of a hate-filled legacy that continues for four more decades.  The survivors of that long-ago Dallas trip, each of them now icons of the American way of life, are about to be honored -- or killed.  Who will live and who will die? Will it be country-western star Lori McCoy? Her loving husband? Her scheming ex-husband?  Or the case-hardened FBI agent and longtime friend who risks his life trying to protect them?  This is JOHN RUSSO at his best!  From the Prologue:  Dealey Plaza is one of the most notorious places in America, and in the spring of 1964 I went there with some college pals, conspiracy buffs, who wanted me to help them film their own version of the Kennedy Assassination.  On the way home, four of them were murdered and their footage went up in flames.  It was the first link in a chain of violent death that spanned four decades and caused me to abandon all my youthful hopes and dreams.  As the years went by, some of us who had survived that trip became rich, some became famous or notorious, and some of us were entangled in tricky or dangerous situations that life had thrown our way.  Now we were gathered together for Homecoming Weekend 2000 at Belmont University.  But a killer was waiting for us.  And he was nursing a deadly grudge that had its roots in the trip to Dallas we had embarked on long ago when we were young, adventurous and innocent.

"The most unique vampire story since 'SALEMS LOT." - George A. Romero "A gripping plotline and good old-fashioned Gothic horror." - Fangoria For two hundred years, he has rested. Now he rises. Now he will be satisfied. Nothing can stop him. No one can resist him. Benjamin Latham is young and handsome, his eighteenth-century mind wakened to a bizarre twentieth-century world. And there is the need deep within . . . an animal need, frightening, murderous, unholy . . . a vital need that must be fed. And with his need comes a power over men and women to do his bidding, to quiet his dark craving . . . Until the murders begin. And the inquiries. All suggesting the same hideous truth. Now Benjamin must find a sanctuary: a lover, a partner, a friend. Someone who can share  his darkness. Someone he can lead to . . . The Awakening. Publisher's note: This is the bestselling novel that the motion picture HEARTSTOPPER was based on.

The Awakening

Beneath the shimmering Miami sun sprawls one of the Mafia’s biggest empires, a glittering world of lavish beachfront mansions, neon-painted nightclubs, beautiful women, expensive cars—and absolute control over the state’s billion-dollar drug trade. But, one by one, its ganglords and henchmen are falling prey to a new rival. His powers are fueled by monstrous ancient rituals; his hellish undead legions slaughter mobsters and innocent citizens alike, his unholy lust for power is virtually unstoppable. Now a burned-out ex-detective and a brilliant anthropologist must enter a gruesome, nightmare world to fight this master of malevolence and illusion. Their time is short, their weapons few, and they face an ultimate, terrifying choice - annihilation or the loss of their souls to the eternal torment of those who never die. . .
