For the Halloween show, Storylines calls upon a contemporary master of horror whose work evokes the Gothic tales of Nathaniel Hawthorne and stories of New England's Puritan witch-hunters. One of the best vampire tales ever written, this skillfully crafted classic about blood-sucking antique dealers in a small Maine town has shocked and terrified readers for nearly three decades and has lost none of its power to frighten.
