“Charles Welch is a captivating author. I literally read this book in one setting, it was exciting and I had to find out what happened next. Croatoan is a wicked character that is as old as time. I loved the split of two times in Croatoan’s life-as the raging dead. This book is a cliff hanger and I can not wait to find out what happens next to Tom and Sin and the tribal people. I’m hooked on this fantastic vampire continuation. Congrats Dr. Welch on another superb book!”
“This author is probably the most talented writer I’ve ever read.
His stories are so original and captivating it beggars belief.
I’ve been reading constantly at least 5 books a week from all different authors for over 50 years and I am in awe of his storytelling.
I feel blessed that I’ve actually stumbled upon his work.”
