Taste the Terror ...
Cade Colter's world is coming apart. Stalked by a ruthless crew of fanatical assassins determined to silence him, he lives in fear, haunted by grief and the guilt of a tormented past. But even as he struggles with his own demons, a new tide of terror is rising -- an ancient darkness more dangerous than any vampire.
A malignant presence stalks the rain-soaked streets. Cloaked in widow's black, she comes with the fog, her poison rotting victims from within, leaving nothing behind but hollowed corpses and the echoes of their final, desperate screams.
First comes the hum of a thousand black wasps. Then a suffocating dread -- a cold so deep it freezes the lungs and stills the heart. She emerges from the mist, her face veiled, dress trailing like funeral crepe, her eyes reflecting only the void. And now, she's set her sights on Cade, and survival means coming face-to-face with an evil that's older than death -- and twice as hungry.
"With THE BLACK WASP, Alistair Cross delivers an exciting new creature to the pantheon of monsters. His Black Wasp is ageless yet ancient, horrifying yet alluring, capable of terrifying humans and vampires alike. THE BLACK WASP is like nothing else and she's here to stay." --Tamara Thorne, bestselling author of Haunted, Brimstone, and Eternity
