Night Things Terry M West

Imagine a world just like yours with one startling difference: every monster of legend has stepped forward from the shadow and now exist shoulder to shoulder with humankind! Welcome to the Magic Now! New York City has become a macabre melting pot. Vampires, werewolves, zombies and ghouls are now the new immigrants and they are chasing the American dream. The Night Things have become part of the system. And there are those anxious to exploit the monsters for profit and lust. As a child, Henry Jekyll had a twin brother, Hyatt. Hyatt was a sinister and deeply disturbed boy whom Henry feared very much. At the age of 10, a medical tragedy took Hyatt's life. But as Henry grew, he felt the shadow of his brother stir within him on occasion. Henry is now a successful psychiatrist with a thriving practice near Wall Street. When Henry is caught in the citywide event known as "Z Day", the trauma of the zombie attack unleashes something within Henry that has rested undisturbed for three decades. It calls itself Hyde and it quickly challenges the monsters that run the city streets. Johnny Stücke, the fiend with no name who controls the Night Things, is trying to maintain the peace between the monsters and humanity after the zombie attacks. But when Hyde makes his violent presence known, Stücke has no choice but to hunt this new rival down. Includes two brand new bonus Night Things stories: HOME IS WHERE YOUR GRAVE IS DUG and THE PRISONER IN CASTLE DRACULA.
