  <default_description>All humans feed on violence. But only those with the Ability have tasted the ultimate power. &lt;p&gt;Ordinary vampires possess the body. But only those who use the living can violate the soul. &lt;p&gt;They gather their strength through the years. They plot their unholy games. They war among themselves. And the victor will stand alone against a world without defenses.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Picked it up because I enjoyed The Terror so much. This pales in comparison. As vampire books go, the analogy is a stretch. Mind-control and physical possession just don't read the same as blood sucking and wooden stakes to me. As well written as parts of the book were, it has a bad case of an 80's ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43374763">more...</a>]]></body>
