Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In an ancient world where gods, monsters, and vampires are accepted as part of daily life, sin can be carried in the blood-and consumed by those willing to drink it. Emana Hathor and her husband, Rasal, belong to the Ishantu, a vampiric race valued as both healers and ritual "sin drinkers." By drinking the blood of the condemned, they absorb the guilt that might otherwise torment a soul beyond death. When Tash Hila, a murderer awaiting execution, asks Rasal to drink his sins, the ritual draws the Ishantu into a violent and surreal journey through a civilization ruled by brutal customs, ancient faiths, and living mythology. Gods from many cultures haunt the landscape, while human cruelty proves every bit as terrifying as the supernatural creatures moving openly among the living. Lyrical, grotesque, and relentlessly imaginative, Dark Moods is not a conventional vampire novel. Charlee Jacob combines historical fantasy, religious horror, dream imagery, and visceral dark fiction to create a strange and uncompromising vision of the ancient world. This haunting novel showcases the depth, intensity, and unmistakable voice that earned Jacob recognition as one of horror fiction's most distinctive writers.
