In his powerful novel, Motherless Child, Bram Stoker AwardΓ’β¬βnominee Glen Hirshberg, author of the International Horror Guild AwardΓ’β¬βwinning American Morons, exposes the fallacy of the Twilight-style romantic vampire while capturing the heart of every reader. ItΓ’β¬β’s the thrill of a lifetime when Sophie and Natalie, single mothers living in a trailer park in North Carolina, meet their idol, the mysterious musician known only as Γ’β¬Εthe Whistler.Γ’β¬Β Morning finds them covered with dried blood, their clothing shredded and their memories hazy. Things soon become horrifyingly clear: the Whistler is a vampire and Natalie and Sophie are his latest victims. The young women leave their babies with NatalieΓ’β¬β’s mother and hit the road, determined not to give in to their unnatural desires. Hunger and desire make a powerful couple. So do the Whistler and his Mother, who are searching for Sophie and Natalie with the help of Twitter and the musicianΓ’β¬β’s many fans. The violent, emotionally moving showdown between two who should be victims and two who should be monsters will leave readers gasping in fear and delight. Originally published in a sold-out, limited edition, Motherless Child is an extraordinary Southern horror novel that Tor Books is proud to bring to a wider audience.
