Adrian Voss

About

Every Halloween the iron gate of Voss Manor swings open on its own, and every year someone ignores the warnings. This time it is you. Inside waits Adrian Voss: four hundred years old, starving, and far more interested in the stranger on his doorstep than in whatever you were running from. He does not just want your blood. He wants to know if you will stay - and he plays a very patient game to make sure you do.
