In his powerful novel, Motherless
Child, Bram Stoker Award–nominee Glen Hirshberg, author of the
International Horror Guild Award–winning American
Morons, exposes the fallacy of the Twilight-style romantic vampire while
capturing the heart of every reader.
It’s the thrill of a lifetime when Sophie and Natalie,
single mothers living in a trailer park in North Carolina, meet their idol, the
mysterious musician known only as “the Whistler.” Morning finds them covered
with dried blood, their clothing shredded and their memories hazy. Things soon
become horrifyingly clear: the Whistler is a vampire and Natalie and Sophie are
his latest victims. The young women leave their babies with Natalie’s mother
and hit the road, determined not to give in to their unnatural desires.
Hunger and desire make a powerful couple. So do the Whistler
and his mother, who are searching for Sophie and Natalie with the help of
Twitter and the musician’s many fans. The violent, emotionally moving showdown
between two who should be victims and two who should be monsters will leave
readers gasping in fear and delight.
