Synopsis

Out of the mist and darkness they come, childcreatures of the night who prey upon the unsuspecting. Late one rainy night, a young school teacher arrives outside her apartment building and spies a mysterious, naked boy at the edge of Central Park. Thinking him injured or lost, she approaches him, despite the chilling fear slowly enveloping her. He flees, luring the young woman into the darkest, densest part of the park. There, out of the fogladen woods, four more children emerge, restless and wildeyed. And then they attack. The next morning, police discover the site of the womans shocking, grisly murder. They are baffled by the strange teeth marks and sheer brutality of the crime. What animal could have done such a thing? A bear? Wolves? A pack of rabid dogs? Theories fly, but they have no idea that the truth of the matter is something far more horrifying. As much a character study as a tale of horror and the supernatural, Richard Lortzs Draculas Children offers a spinetingling chill to the tune of Richard Matheson or Stephen King.

I picked this up because I’ve been on a vintage horror binge. I thought the blurb on the back was interesting enough—- so without much thought I started this.

Goodreads review by Jessica on May 12, 2014

A mishmash of sex and violence. At times I don't know if the author wants me to like what I read, get upset or feel disgusted. To many short storys and to thin red line for me to feel more for it than two stars-......more
