The vampires come for a thief; An excerpt from Caden is Coming: A Southern Vampire Epic.

Caden is Coming by F.C. Schaefer Caden is Coming: A Southern Vampire Epic is the tale of a vampire clan out for vengeance after the home of their leader is robbed, and a valuable history of the undead in America—written in blood—is stolen. The back roads of the south are soon filled with traveling bloodsuckers on the trail of the thief and determined to get their Maker’s book back from him and woe to any mortal who gets in the way. In the excerpt below, Lianna and Crockett, two vampires devoted to the leader of their clan, Lafayette Caden, arrive at a small community in rural Virginia where the thief and his ill-gotten book, are hiding out. Things are about to take a turn.

An excerpt from Caden is Coming: A Southern Vampire Epic:

After days of traveling, a destination was reached at last.

They came up from the south, just after sundown, two lone figures, a man and a woman, young and paler than starlight. Aunt Molly’s Buick Skylark had carried them far, and when the sun had grown high in the sky, the trunk proved to be the perfect place to get some much-needed rest. But the ancient Buick had died a natural death an hour before sunrise on Sunday, and for the rest of the day, the two had moved as shadows, sleeping briefly and then hurrying on, staying out of the light but with the rising of the orange moon had come freedom. Now they strode across the open land, unafraid.

The dog saw them first and was the first to die, his blood tasting hot and sweet. There were plenty of mortals nearby, but they were safe for this night. Caden had commanded it, but it would be for this night only. The sun would rise again in a few hours, but sure as the coming of day, so was the fall of night and when darkness covered the land again, Caden would come to claim what was his, and woe unto any mortals who got in his way.

“Bend down here,” Lianna said to Crockett. The two were standing in a clearing only a stone’s throw from the highway.

“What?” he replied as he leaned in.

“Just this,” she giggled and licked a stray drop of the dog’s blood from his cheek. They hastened on; there was much to learn before the sun rose again.
