The Unblemished
Introduction by Jeff VanderMeer. Afterword by Conrad Williams. Cover and signature page art by Chris Nurse.
From British Fantasy Award-winner Conrad Williams, whose last book from Earthling was called "a ferocious adventure" (CEMETERY DANCE) and "a blistering tale that reminds us of the genre's continued transgressive power" (THE ALIEN ONLINE), comes THE UNBLEMISHED...
A blood-crazed lover of amputee victims.
A mother determined to protect her only daughter no matter the cost.
A serial killer who believes he is the rightful son and heir to a horrific, ancient dynasty.
And one dying man who must make a stand against a horde of vengeful monsters who knew the shadows of London before the city even had a name.
This Halloween, if they catch you, you will beg for death...
THE UNBLEMISHED is an original novel by Conrad Williams and the second book in Earthling's popular Halloween Series.

Earthling Halloween Series
From the website of Earthling Publications:
Boo.
This series of books celebrates Publisher Paul Miller's favorite holiday. Each October, as the air turns colder and leaves fall off the trees, Earthling will release one novel of flat-out horror, usually featuring classic terrors such as monsters and haunted houses rather than psychological suspense or real-life horrors. The dustjacket spine will feature a pumpkin with the series number of the book. MR. DARK'S CARNIVAL was an ultra-short run of only 15 handmade hardcovers, and therefore BLOOD RED was counted as Book #1 in the series.
Earthling Halloween Series consists of sixteen primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
