Publisher's Summary

The Keep is the first book in the Adversary Cycle from best-selling author F. Paul Wilson

"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. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims.  

When an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find something that's both powerful and terrifying. 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.

The original text that inspired a cult movie

I've only recently become aware that the movie of the same name had its origins in an original book.
With its killer soundtrack and star cast in my mind, I listened to this telling of the novel with enthusiasm,
The author writes in a style that I find easy to capture and the narrator gave some great voice to the characters.

While I started to have some misgivings that the book was a modern recounting of the vampire legend of Vlad Tepes and his familiar Renfield, it soon turned into something a bit different.

I don't think this book if for any specific audience, though I think maybe horror fans might get something out of it. I enjoyed it regardless, and there's nothing something satisfying about a bit of supernatural Nazi-bashing!

Fun

Nazis, a Carpathian castle, and a vampire. How can this not be a winner? Good narration.
