Description: "Two towns: one living and one not-quite dead. Westward bound, ex-soldier Seth Collins finds a ruined village named Drytown. Just why is it that everyone in Drytown seems to want to avoid the sun? Before long, Collins find Drytown isn't a village, but a deathtrap. But who's setting it with live human bait? There's no clear answers, and only just barely time to escape to safety in the nearby town of Cedar Creek. The monsters from Drytown are thirsty enough to follow and hunt, even in the sunlight now. Led by their master, Raphael de Medina, the creatures are driven by desire and addiction and will not stop until they've drunk every single drop. Husbands hunt wives, men of faith are shaken, the law provides no safety, and one man's hunt for revenge may doom all the living souls of both towns to a monstrous kind of half-life, to thirst without end."--P. [4] of cover.
