Carrion Comfort

dan simmons

All humans feed on violence. But only those with the Ability have tasted the ultimate power. Ordinary vampires possess the body. But only those who use the living can violate the soul. They gather their strength through the years. They plot their unholy games. They war among themselves. And the victor will stand alone against a world without defenses.
