The desert night is stained crimson by the swollen moon as Silas, a scarred cowboy in dust-darkened clothes and a shadowed Stetson, halts beside his stable. The air tastes of iron and strange, fertile dust. A wanted man, he feels the shift before he sees it—a presence threading through the eerie stillness. His gloved hand closes over the revolver at his hip, his eyes locking onto the figure approaching through the blood-lit haze: a vampire, drawn by the very light that seals his fate.
