The Pilgrims of the Damned A Vampire Thriller
By Steve McHugh
First published 2025
A vampire and a journalist team up to stop a witch on a rampage in the third book of this urban fantasy from the bestselling author of the Hellequin Chronicles. Undead investigator Miles Watson has seen his share of violence, but after his last case left a trail of dead bodies in its wake--some of which had belonged to people he actually liked--he's decided to take a break from policing the tenuous peace between vampires and humankind. Unfortunately, the powers that be aren't keen on him going off the grid, and the new mission they bring to his door isn't the kind that's easily ignored. It seems a rogue human has his hands on some powerful chaos magic, and he's strayed right into the midst of one of the most dangerous lands in the world: Maine. It's filled with deranged, hungry desolates and has become a hotbed for political squabbles between various powerful factions. The former US state is exactly where you don't want a newly minted--and very homicidal--witch running amok. Now Miles will have to venture into seriously dangerous territory to play babysitter to the one witch who can bring monsters to justice.
