American Fangs

by David Arthur

Darkness…Jimmy Kolve thought he had seen the blackest of the black when his grandfather had taken him, at age 12, down into the depths of a coal mine, 300 plus feet, where they switched off their lights. It was just like his grandfather had said it would be. He could not see his hand in front of his face. And surely, he had mused many times over the years, surely there was nothing darker than a starless stretch of the universe, hidden away somewhere where no one had thought to look, tucked away like a secret too long forgotten to pass on. Yes, he thought he knew all about darkness. But then...that was before it brought him to his knees.When the body of a young woman is discovered along a riverbank by a teenage boy, Pittsburgh police Captain Dalen Winters and Lieutenant Michael LaFuria are thrust into nightmares more macabre than imaginable. Using futuristic technology Kezzik Dracula returns to life as the vampire Sinasted Castele. Forced to deal with his daughter Krislyn’s kidnapping and subsequent rescue, Lieutenant LaFuria soon faces new, otherworldly challenges. Together with his wife Susan, their daughter and her boyfriend Jimi and some friends they bond with two intergalactic wizards and an intergalactic witch. Later they join forces with two aliens, the Burgess of Telgh and a baby quasar, Existor to go up against Sinasted Castele, the once-good turned-evil Luten Greck and their dark master, Hithus. Will they persevere and prevent Earth from being the future feeding ground of vampires? Or, will all forces of good simultaneously disappear from the universe?
