Philadelphia By Night, Black Doves is a set of stories chronicling the events of a coterie of vampires who find themselves pulled ever deeper into Philadelphia’s violent, depraved, and hopeless circles. Whatever friends they choose will ask dear prices of them. Dressed in civilized masks, vampires and other fiends await their decisions with hungry and welcome arms. This is a Philadelphia which has succumbed to its desires, has sold itself to its sins, and offers a ticket for anyone who has yet to see its carnivale of terrors. It remains to be seen whether this newest coterie of vampires will change any of that, or if something different lurks in their hearts. Something more terrible? Something more fragile and tender?

“One never quite loses the conviction that reality is gossamer. Behind its webwork; chaos, madness. The real truth maybe. And the real truth is red.” – Stephen King, Duma Key
