A hospital bed might seem like a nice, safe place for an injured man to be, but not if he’s Cal McDonald. As if it weren’t bad enough that Cal was hospitalized after being on the receiving end of an extreme case of police brutality-now he’s enduring an even more surreal horror, one known commonly to drug addicts as “withdrawal.” Cal’s body may be healing but the nightmare visions the withdrawal brings threaten to tear what remains of his sanity to shreds. And when Cal finally does make it to the other side of this ordeal, he wakes up only to discover that the world’s deepest, oldest evil-the vampire Nosferatu -came calling and took Cal’s ex Sabrina with him!

Escaped mad doctors and possessed muscle cars are all in a day’s work for supernatural investigator Cal McDonald and his undead sidekick Mo’Lock.

When an old enemy Cal sent to prison escapes, his sights are set on exacting cold revenge on the guy who put him there. And it looks like he’ll have to cut through everyone Cal loves to get to him . . . perfect! Cal knows what he’s up against, and he’s hardly batting an eye. He’s already put this guy away once, and it’s not like prison makes people bitter, right? And besides-things are looking up. He’s even got a new car to brag about-a spiffy 1973 Nova. Too bad the guy who died in the car before Cal bought it has no intention of leaving!

o Steve Niles is a bona fide star in the world of horror comics, and he’s taking a bite out of Hollywood, too. Production on the film adaptation of his hit comic-book 30 Days of Night started in New Zealand in summer 2006!
