Blood Moon Over Whitechapel

VAN HELSING: Blood Moon Over Whitechapel — Fourth Edition
London, 1889. Five years after Dracula. The Blood Moon rises.
The ship Demeter has wrecked at Whitby again. Same name. Same terror. Captain lashed to wheel, chest ripped open from inside.
In Whitechapel, children walk out of locked houses in their sleep. They hum a lullaby backwards. They walk toward St. Pancras Old Church — Roman grave, 35 AD.
Abraham Van Helsing thought his war was over. He was wrong.
In Fleet Street sewers he finds bone dolls and women in white with eyes sewn shut with silver thread. In the asylum, virgin mothers give birth to something that whispers with his dead wife's voice.
It is not a vampire. It is Lilith Van Crowe — the first Mother. Buried by Romans. Her child stolen and buried under London. For 1800 years she searched.
Now she wants 80 children to open the womb gate.
And Van Helsing learns his darkest secret: His real name is Van Crowe. She is his blood.
To stop her, he must steal the Spear of Longinus from the British Museum vault, survive a transfusion of holy blood, and drive a broken spear into a tiny black heart beating for 1800 years — while 80 children claw at him.
For fans of Dracula, The Witcher, and gothic horror.
