Isherwood is a small town full of quirky characters, most of them having small minds as well, not taking too kindly to strangers. Alex points Chris in the direction of Isherwood, Indiana, along with one cryptic clue, that even he can’t quite explain – Danner. This inclusion at the beginning of the novel buckles you in for some supernatural pulp. Alex was killed by some sort of monster in Central Park and is permanently caught in limbo ever since. His dead brother, Alex, appears every so often in a ghostly form, offering guidance in addition to some good-natured ribbing that only a sibling can give. But he does have a purpose, namely to hunt down supernatural monsters, the ever-changing “enemy.” The protagonist, Chris Stiles, is a down on his luck Vietnam Vet, shellshocked, burn out, drifting from town to town. In fact, it’s pretty well-written and not as stupid as it sounds. Grady Hendrix, author of Paperbacks From Hell, described this book thusly – “If you thought ‘ Salem’s Lot needed more Uzis, welcome to Nightblood.” That’s an apt description, but Nightblood isn’t complete schlock. This is the 1990 horror novel, Nightblood by T.
Hordes of ravenous vampires threaten to devour everyone and only one man, a Vietnam vet with lots of ammo, can stop them. An old evil awakens in the remote Indiana town of Isherwood.
