More Description Rose and her childrens' ordeal continues. They are still held on a ship whose crew are vampires, overseen by the demon Eco.
There are more blood-drenched confessions to read. Rose has no choice but to finish the journal. Eco, mad and as unpredictable as ever, can snap at any time. But will he?
The rest of the journal tells of the sick and twisted obsession Eco has had for Blackstone House's former mistress, evil and debauched Eve Darton. There are aristocratic devil rites, both in England and France, including satanic sacrifices. There is the Great Fire of London 1666, plagues, vampire destroyers, witch hunts and resurrection men who supply a necrophile doctor.
The novel comes full circle as all the hideous secrets of Blackstone House are revealed, as are the reasons Rose's father killed himself and his family.
Dracula is introduced, as is a child cruelly orphaned by the vampires. Dracula, the child's dying mother says, has cursed her daughter and pleads with Rose to take her. Rose does, but what hope can the hopeless have?
Author's excerpt from the novel:
Then there is the being that calls neither Heaven nor Hell home, but exists somewhere in the middle-in whatever middle that might be. Do not look or call out for him, for he will come soon enough. Death is here for those passengers and crew the devils feed on. Death, who is always eager for more souls-Death, who always waits. And she is here, too-Lilith, first wife to Adam, the mother of all demons, mistress to both Satan and Eco. Lilith, who has come to think of me as friend. There! Now, can you see the nightmare world I exist in?
