Grant, Charles L - The Soft Whisper Of The Dead

Supposedly the first part of a trilogy, this actually reads like the sequel to The Dark Cry Of The Moon.
Chief Lucas Stockton is now an older man, while Ned, last seen as a boy in Dark Cry is now an adult.
In this outing, the undead arrive in Oxrun Station.
A pale, not seen by day, old friend of our heroine, and an elegant count.
Bodies are soon discovered, throats gashed or ripped out.
As before, R. J. Krupowicz provides highly stylized illustrations that serve better this time around.
Very quick read, that feels much like Salem’s Lot lite.
Enjoyable, if not essential horror reading.
