Carnival of the Damned

Victor Standish: Urban legend, abandoned child, mocker of monsters: “I learned to walk on cat-feet by living on the streets of too many hard cities for six years...since I was seven. I know why dogs howl at the dark and why cats prick up their ears after midnight. All too often I hear the beating of black wings and the scratching of half-seen shapes on the pavement hidden by shadow. I have always known I am an outsider, a stranger no matter where I roam among those who are still men. There are horrors beyond life's edge that most don’t suspect, and once in a while a wandering stray calls them just within range. And yes, all too often I am that stray". Follow Victor as he scurries down the garbage-strewn streets of a lifeless Detroit, hiding from and fighting against the hungry dead reanimated by his strange mother. Watch him fight for his life in a ramshackle New York country estate against the alien spawn who fell from the stars a century ago. See Victor contend against nightmares in
