From Subterranean Press:
In I Travel by Night, master of horror Robert McCammon introduced the tortured
and instantly unforgettable vampire adventurer Trevor Lawson—All
Matters Handled—as he searched for his maker, LaRouge, in hope of
becoming human once more. It wove a tale about the terrors of the Dark Society,
featuring the gothic sensibilities of old New Orleans, and the unforgiving
violence of the untamed frontier of 1886. Now McCammon returns to Lawson's
gripping journey and sends him West, in the chilling sequel novella Last Train
from Perdition.
Ever on the hunt for LaRouge, Lawson still travels by night, but no longer
alone. Crack-shot, whip-smart Ann has become his companion, on her own search
for her vampire-taken father and sister. Lawson has been summoned from New
Orleans and the Hotel Sanctuaire to Omaha by a wealthy man who needs his son
retrieved from a band of outlaws. Lawson and Ann agree to take the case and
travel to the town of Perdition where they find their prey—but things get
complicated fast when a saloon shootout leaves an innocent girl badly injured.
On a night train from Perdition to Helena to find medical help, it soon becomes
clear that Lawson and Ann's enemies may also be looking to prey upon them. As
they struggle against those forces of darkness with a trainload of their most
unlikely allies yet, Lawson also wages battle with the darkness LaRouge left
within him. This latest installment in Trevor Lawsons battle for redemption
finds bestselling McCammon at his thrilling best.
