Drawing Blood

Sex, blood and a haunted house - from the master of gothic horror.

At a house in Missing Mile, just outside New Orleans, little Trevor McGee found the bodies of his brother, his mother, and the man who killed them both - his father.

Twenty years later, the house lies abandoned. Trevor returns, with his lover Zach, a fugitive computer hacker, determined to uncover what drove his father to madness and murder.

But in confronting the demonic forces that destroyed the McGee family, Trevor unleashes a new terror. And risks his life all over again . . .

From the author of the original cult novel of vampire chic, Lost Souls, comes a graphic, gothic tale of love, lust and a haunted house of horror.
