Children of the Night
The children of evil wake...
The rural peace is shattered by a series of gruesome and mysterious deaths. Not murders in the ordinary sense, but the work of some malignant, unnatural, deadly force... who are the Children of the Night, who creep out of the ground and grip a whole village in terror of their ancient vileness?
Their secret lies centuries in the past, but what of the future? What of their foul deeds of tomorrow?

John Blackburn
John Fenwick Blackburn (1923–1993) was a British novelist who wrote thrillers, horror novels, and The Flame and the Wind (1967), an unusual historical novel set in Roman times, in which a nephew of Pontius Pilate tries to discover the facts about the crucifixion of Jesus.
His horror novels are often structured as thrillers, with detective story plots involving international espionage, but leading to a supernatural resolution. This means that, as with some of the books of James Herbert, many of Blackburn's horror novels are notable for pace and plotting rather than for atmospheric effects. Blackburn specialised in mixing modern concerns such as germ warfare and international conspiracies with ancient traditions and curses, often to ingenious effect.
