Pg. 69: F. P. Wilson, J. Strand, J. Kilborn, & B. Crouch's "Draculas"

Today's feature at the Page 69 Test: Draculas by F. Paul Wilson, Jeff Strand, Jack Kilborn, and Blake Crouch.

About the novel:
Mortimer Moorecook, retired Wall Street raider, avid collector, is losing his fight against cancer. With weeks to live, a package arrives at the door of his hillside mansion - an artifact he paid millions for...a hominoid skull with elongated teeth, discovered in a farmer's field in the Romanian countryside. With Shanna, his beautiful research assistant looking on, he sinks the skull's razor sharp fangs into his neck, and immediately goes into convulsions.

OPENS THE DOOR TO AN ANCIENT EVIL...

A rural hospital.

A slow night in the ER.

Until Moorecook arrives strapped to a gurney, where he promptly codes and dies.

WHERE DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
