Bob DexterTrudySangriniDudley Vernon

When reporter Bob Dexter discovers a tuft of bat fur at the crime scene of a murdered scientist, he stumbles onto evidence of something far more sinister than an ordinary killer—Sangrini, a vampire who murdered Dr. Dudley Vernon to steal his experimental corpusene formula. Now, with Trudy at his side, Bob must confront a creature who plans to create an army of zombie servants pumped full of the synthetic blood that will sustain him forever.

When Warren Stryker deciphers an ancient Astyparean incantation from a Babylonian tablet, his decision to read it aloud in its original tongue unleashes something he never expected—an invisible demon that feeds on human knowledge and minds. Now bound to Stryker as its unwilling carrier, the creature forces him to approach scholars and scientists so it can drain their intellects, leaving death in its wake, while Stryker desperately searches for a way to banish the thing back to the limbo from which it came. Ellen and a handful of allies race to uncover the counter-incantation that might be the only hope of stopping the fiend before more innocents fall victim to its hunger.

Zortan purchases an ancient sceptre said to belong to Satan himself—a wand that supposedly grants wishes to those who truly believe in it—and tells Peter it will teach him genuine supernatural powers. As Peter's faith in the wand grows stronger, Zortan hatches a darker scheme involving his blackmailing assistant Darla, setting events in motion that will test whether the sceptre's legendary power is real or merely an illusion.

Now trapped under the specter's hypnotic power, Jerry finds himself compelled to carry out a murderous plan he desperately wants to resist.
