Summary
A quiet night shatters when a desperate father awakens to a nightmare in his daughter’s room—an intruder with a painted grin and an impossible demand. What begins as a home invasion spirals into a hunt through forgotten history, where the legacy of a long-dead magician still casts a shadow darker than any stage curtain. In this tense and claustrophobic tale from author Jason Fischer, Drew Blood invites you into a world where old tricks never die, museum relics whisper, and the past refuses to stay buried. As reality bends and fear closes in, one question looms with chilling clarity: When a magician’s final act refuses to end… what, exactly, is waiting behind the curtain?
