I am now the happy owner of a limited numbered and signed edition of The Fly-By-Nights, written by Brian Lumley with cover and interior art by Bob Eggleton. The copy is numbered #115 of 250 and signed by both writer and painter.
A post-apocalyptic vampire tale.
For the full synopsis, log in and press the "read more" link.
150 years ago the world
ended. Bombs fell, winter came, and the survivors fled underground in
search of safety. Now they struggle to preserve what’s left—sleeping by
day, and battling fearsome vampiric fly-by-nights after sunset.
Resources are scarce and security is scarcer in this fallout-poisoned
world, but one subterranean clan of hardy souls clings to life,
scavenging and scraping by until their water supply goes
catastrophically bad. Forced to seek a new life above, they leave their
long-time home to caravan across the stricken planet’s surface, where
the light is toxic and the night hides unspeakable monsters.
It is a difficult existence without promise or direction, until word
from a band of fellow refugees fizzes through the choppy radio static.
The Kindred promise help, companionship, and a new settlement in a
distant valley…if only the clan can reach them.
For between the Kindred and the Clan stand a hundred miles of
impossible terrain and countless fly-by-nights, and within the Clan
itself trouble brews when two very different men fight for the love of
one woman who has already made her choice.
It’s the oldest story ever told, but this time it could mean the end of humanity.
