The two couples are about to discover the mysterious house has been waiting all these years, craving fresh prey... Includes the short story prequel, "The Girl from the Blood Coven."

Down in the abandoned subway tunnels exist unimaginable horrors that hunger for human flesh. And in a church of darkness, the cult's numbers are growing. Soon Daniel's worst nightmares are coming true. A fanatical army is rising to shed blood on the streets of Boston.
