Karl Hahrhöffer wakes up soaked and disoriented in a storm, with no memory of how he got there. As he stumbles back to his old, decrepit home in Altdorf, he uncovers a series of strange and unsettling events. Villagers fear him, his house is in ruins, and his own reflection is foreign to him.
With only snippets of memory and a mysterious diary to guide him, Karl pieces together a chilling truth: he was once a vampire, turned human again by a lightning cross. Now, he must confront his undead past to find peace.

INTRODUCTION,by John Betancourt
Lester del Rey was one of the most accomplished writers in the early days of genre science fiction. His novels and short stories appeared in every leading magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s. His work explored robotics, time travel, telepathy, alien invasion, space exploration, first contact, and many more themes, all with vivid writing and realistic, believable characterizations.
He was highly creative, and, in fact, made up most of the “public” details of his life. He often told people his real name was Ramon Felipe Alvarez-del Rey (and sometimes even Ramon Felipe San Juan Mario Silvio Enrico Smith Heartcourt-Brace Sierra y Alvarez del Rey y de los Uerdes). He also claimed that his whole family was killed in a car accident in 1935. However, after his death, his sister confirmed that his name was, in fact Leonard Knapp, and the accident in 1935 killed his first wife but not his parents, brother, or sister.
In the 1950s and 1960s, he moved from short fiction to writing novels for adults and young adults, while simultaneously embarking on an editing career. Along with his fourth wife, Judy-Lynn, Lester del Rey met his greatest success at Ballantine Books, where they established the fantasy and science fiction imprint Del Rey Books in 1977. Del Rey Books continues to this day.
Del Rey was a member of the literary banqueting club, the Trap Door Spiders, which served as the basis of Isaac Asimov’s fictional group of mystery solvers, the Black Widowers. (He was the model for “Emmanuel Rubin.”)
Following Lester del Rey’s death, I purchased his literary estate from his heirs and have been working to put all of his classic fiction back into print.
