Description:
Dawn Song (a reprint) is a modern Dark Fantasy classic in which Lawrence, an invisible young bookstore clerk seeking to escape his repressive past and find a place for himself in Boston's Gay community, crosses paths with a Succubus--a powerful, shape-shifting female spirit who destroys the bodies and souls of the lovers she takes--who has been sent to Earth to earn a Name by furthering her Demonic Patron’s cause in a War fought among factions in Hell. Escalating conflicts, both spiritual and earthly, lay waste to the lives, sanity and souls of the innocent and the not-so innocent as Lawrence and the Succubus are both nearly destroyed and as they each discover in themselves a capacity to love that will either be their mutual salvation . . . or their damnation.
