About this listen
Walk on the Dark Side…
After centuries of denying his true nature, Vampire Michael Ward has surrendered to his darkest impulses. Once a man driven by peace, he now prowls the Santa Cruz Boardwalk -- a ravenous predator consumed by feral rage and an insatiable lust for blood. His victims are left mutilated, their bodies twisted into grotesque displays that are turning the boardwalk into a gallery of horror.
Determined to join the ranks of legendary slayers, Cade Colter joins forces with famed vampire hunter Father Vincent Scarlotti, who’s compelled by an obsession to eradicate evil wherever it lurks. Together, they descend into the city’s criminal underbelly where every vice is catered, every virtue auctioned, and every soul is for sale.
Deep in the labyrinths of depravity, prostitution, and decay, they follow the string of ravaged bodies that mark Michael’s murderous path -- and with each grisly new discovery, Cade begins to understand that to defeat this monster, he may have to become one himself.
"I couldn’t put this book down. It’s got more hooks than a day boat out of San Pedro Harbor!" - QL Pearce, bestselling author of Scary Stories for Sleep-Overs

Story
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is perhaps the most famous ghost story of all. For nearly 200 years, this tale has singlehandedly extended the haunting season from autumn through winter, and ghost lovers everywhere are happy about that. Traditionally, A Christmas Carol is told and retold each year in every form from plays to movies and TV shows. But, originally, the tale was read aloud as folks sat by the hearth, drinking mulled cider or hot cocoa as they warmed their hands at the fireplace. Many of us first heard the tale as children.

This book - which put Liverpool on the paranormal map - is about ghosts - whatever they are. Every culture has believed in ghosts at one time or another: Buddha trained himself to overcome fear by sitting in a haunted cemetery. Spooky tales are not just a contemporary phenomenon - there are several ghosts mentioned in the Old Testament. In the course of a person's lifetime, the chances of encountering a ghost are surprisingly high.

The world of Pravahs suffered from a time of darkness and genocide at their hands. These demon-instructed magi turned the skies black, led an army of the living dead and demons in a global conquest, and left miles of burned earth in their hellfire assaults. Their defeat was nothing short of miraculous. While the land remembers, people forget. The people of the continent of Stratia have dismissed the ancient "Black Decade" as myth, even while their blood runs cold with fear at the mention of the dreaded "Void Hands".

Critic reviews
"I couldn’t put this book down. It’s got more hooks than a day boat out of San Pedro Harbor!" - QL Pearce, bestselling author of Scary Stories for Sleep-Overs
Listener received this title free
This book is part of a series that I have not heard of or seen before, but it is a standalone book unto itself. That means you can enjoy this without having a clue about what else is going on or has come before. Which is exactly where I was at when I got this book.
Unfortunately, I had never heard of Alistair cross or his vampire series.
The irony of a writer of vampire stories having the last name of cross has not escaped me. And I am sure this is a pen name, but I gotta say it’s kind of sly.
The book itself is definitely a lot more than just a supernatural spin. Not that I wouldn’t be up a new replacement for the supernatural TV show. And while technically, this could work, I think this is a beeeast far and away until it’s self that doesn’t need comparisons.
The narration is outstanding I really like Jameson Walker’s portrayal of the characters and his ability to differentiate them in my mind as he spoke was very very well done.
I am now definitely very interested in the other books in the series and anything that comes afterwards from this point forward. This is a great starting point since it is a standalone and you don’t have to know anything about what has come before, but I guarantee you once you’re done reading this, you will want to know more.
