For Weatherby Stein and Morton Candle - private detectives specializing in the paranormal - life normally isn't easy. They deal with cases that pit them against ferocious demons in the Tokyo underworld, Satan-worshipping teenagers in a seemingly normal suburb and lizard-men in a Lake Tahoe lounge, and they still manage to come out on top. But now one of Weatherby's ancient ancestors, the villainous Viscount Wagner Stein, has been resurrected and is looking to stir up trouble - and he's not alone. Facing down dangers from the past like the Viscount and the newly arisen Dracula, Lord of Vampires, Weatherby and Mort have no choice but call in help. They'll bring in Weatherby's sister, a college student studying folklore and her beatnik boyfriend. They'll bring in Morton's squad mates, a tough bunch of soldiers who stormed through Europe together. And they'll bring in a hulking monster named Adam, with another connection to the past of Weatherby's family. Weatherby, Morton and their allies make a stand to stop the evils of the past from corrupting of the future - and only one faction will make it out of the battle alive.
