Even though Hugh has been a vampire for over 400 years, the memories of his gruesome transformation in the early years of the Jamestown Colony are still fresh in his mind. He has had his ups and downs - Fortunes won, fortunes lost. One thing he has never had is the chance to ever meet the Vampire that changed him, or any other Vampire for that matter.
His is a solitary, bloody existence. Even so, things are looking up– with a new-found fortune in gold Krugerrand to tide him over, Hugh is looking forward to an enjoying evening with some ladies of the night and a meal. With the ladies being the main course. As Hugh knows, Easy Street is always a good place to be, but it’s very easy to get detoured off it. It has happened many times to Hugh in the past.
Tonight it’s going to happen again –in a way Hugh could never have imagined in over 400 years of existence.
Hugh wakes up in a world he doesn't recognize :a changed landscape, no electricity, and... Mastodons!
There is something familiar however- the inhabitants of the town he finds in the Yukon wilderness- an Amish settlement. He is unsure of how to deal with these simple, friendly people. They are a tie to a past he has lost, but they are, after all Amish and he is a vampire. He settles in near the town as they befriend him and he them.
Then Hugh discovers that there is still technology. Visitors fly down to Earth every two years to take townspeople. The Gathering it is called. Being pacifists above all else, the Amish citizens cannot do anything about these out worldly visitors. However now, they have an unlikely protector; Hugh.
When the visitors arrive, they will be expecting the same peaceful Amish people they have seen for centuries.
What they find is something from their nightmares.
