Book Description:
"Something is murdering my men."
Thus reads the message received from a Nazi commander stationed in a small castle high in the remote Transylvanian Alps. And when an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find a something that's both powerful and terrifying. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims. Panicked, the Nazis bring in a local expert on folklore--who just happens to be Jewish--to shed some light on the mysterious happenings. And unbeknownst to anyone, there is another visitor on his way--a man who awoke from a nightmare and immediately set out to meet his destiny.
The battle has begun: On one side, the ultimate evil created by man, and on the other... the unthinkable, unstoppable, unknowing terror that man has inevitably awakened.

Candy B. (Eh... this was okay. It's out of my genre a bit and I think it was excessively long for the story it contained. I think my friend, Dy, sums it up pretty well (spoilers are here) in her blog so I'll just say "ditto" and "read my comment" LOL :)
Kevin B. (Good Book! F. Paul Wilson is a great author.
This is a book (the first?) in the "Adversary Cycle", that culminates in a cross-over with the Repairman Jack series.
Meet Rasalom, and his eternal nemesis, Glaeken. A true joy to read. If you are a fan of F.Paul Wilson, this is a keep(er). If you have not had the pleasure of reading his works, this is a great place to start.

Sandi P. (Nazis, vampires, an old Romanian keep...chilling and horrific. A great read!
I enjoyed this horror story. Different enough to be worth a read. They made a movie that didn't make much sense.
