Can you survive what's waiting for you? Delving into the world introduced in the Some By Day, Some By Night series and continued in Lord Gerard's Coven, this collection of short stories begins before written history, jumping through time and ending during the events of Threads of A Web. Welcome to a world of vampires, humans, and maybe even something else. Though each tale can stand on it's own, readers of the two series will enjoy these extra background stories. Have you ever wondered: Why does Serahfine despise humans? What was Morgan like before she was changed? Who was the very first vampire? What happened to Lionel's wife, Roberta? Questions will be answered. Pasts will be explained. But only if you can handle THE SMELL OF DEATH & A TASTE OF BLOOD
