CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR
THE WHITLEY STRIEBER HORROR CLASSIC
THAT STARTED IT ALL
THE HUNGER
“Vivid, skillfully written.”
— The Washington Post
“Fast paced . . . intriguing.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Read this one with all the lights on.”
— Hudson Sun (MA)
And for the long-awaited follow-up
THE LAST VAMPIRE
“Whitley Strieber has done more than recapture the magic that made him a
modern master of horror literature — he has surpassed himself. This is a
wonderfully imaginative book, one that defies the reader to put it down.”
— Peter Straub
“With a sensual ascent to an erotic crescendo, this vigorous sequel restores the
vampire’s power and mystique. Strieber’s luxuriously soulless realm of the
undead is disturbingly plausible.”
— Katherine Ramsland

For M.A.
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath, And after many a summer dies the swan.
Me only cruel immortality Consumes . . .
Tithonus, ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: We knew her woof, her texture; she is given In the
dull catalogue of common things.
Lamia, JOHN KEATS
