In the Spring of 1912, evil came to the small town of Kings Shore. A creature with a voracious appetite for blood took up residence within the town's shadows. Network newsman Roland Millhouse arrived in town to interview Patricia Owens on the occasion of her 120th birthday. He envisioned a feeble old woman in a wheelchair. The woman he met was anything but. She possessed more energy than most people a half-century younger. And her life was far from boring. Roland expected to leave Kings Shore with a fluff piece full of garden parties and church socials. What he got was a terrifying tale of death and monsters. A tale that would change his life forever.
