Blood Family

Dr Reedy, a university lecturer is making a copy of a sacred manuscript, promising the reader entrance to paradise. It falls into the wrong hands, the hands of his student, a vampire called Luke! The manuscript is guarded by the mysterious Cult of the Word, a heretical organisation hidden within the structures of the church, custodians of a holy language and secrets. Will they be able to protect these secrets against the vampire, who wants them for himself? Dr Reedy, now an inititiate in the cult is drawing Luke's evil towards their most closely guarded grail. In the manuscript there is a prophecy of a Gateway, hidden beneath the catacombs of an old church, which can give access to heaven itself. Dr Reedy and his family are drawn into an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, as Luke seduces Lin Reedy, the doctor's goth daughter, whilst the perfect daughter Crystal is someone for Luke to feed on. With its mysteries and dark poetry,this is a gothic coming of age tale, full of suspense and sensuality.
