Blood County

Blood was what they called that mountain town and the forbidding land around it--and the name was significant. Folks there knew a secret that would have shocked the world...but nobody was ever going to get out of Blood to tell. Not even when Portia Clark arrived, hot on a news story for a national magazine. Especially, not her...

Clint Breen, who had once been in the outside world, tried to save her. But he had to fight a tradition that drove men and women to unspeakable lusts and that ruled secretly the lives and afterlives of every being in the county. Blood was the place where more men and women walked the night than ever were seen by day. Horror was their heritage, for they were the people that the census dared not count!
