THIS ISN’T FOLKLORE. IT’S AN EVOLUTIONARY CONTINGENCY PLAN.
NAMTAR - The Night Plague
A Gothic Biological Thriller by C. D. Jones
He shouldn’t have survived that night.
Alex Weston didn’t believe in monsters—until something found him in the dark.
Not a wolf. Not a man. Something faster. Smarter. Designed.
And when it should have killed him…
something inside him answered instead.
A flash of light.
Impossible. Violent. Alive.
The world calls them vampires.
But they are not myth.
They are Namtar—engineered predators buried beneath Antarctic ice since the fall of Atlantis. Not undead. Not immortal.
Designed.
And now, they are waking.
As Alex’s body begins to change, the truth unravels faster than he can understand it.
The people around him know more than they should.
And the line between human… and something else… is already breaking.
Because this isn’t an outbreak.
It’s a reset.
