Hawkins, 1987. Winter has settled deep into the bones of Eddie’s trailer, leaving the air still and cold. In the shadows beneath his bed, nestled in a hollow of worn-soft flannels, sleeps a small, furry bat. Eddie sits cross-legged on the floor, his calloused fingertips moving with reverent care over the creature’s tiny form. This is Kas—the vampire who pulled him from hell, now locked in hibernation. Four months of silence. Four months of this aching absence. Eddie’s gaze is soft, lost in the memory of a presence he desperately needs back, longing for the day the bat stirs and becomes the man he’s helplessly falling for.
