Dr. Abraham Stroud, who has faced down monsters and supernatural beings from vampires and werewolves to man-sized spiders from space, as well as Satanipedes in Texas, a hero who has astrally traveled through time in search of the origin of evil, now faces a new kind of horrid threat. He's asked on/begged to come on a dig in a faraway ancient and foreign land near Malta...a dig that has uncovered a children's graveyard from ancient times; a cemetery of suspected vampire babies. Suffice to say in the classic horror tradition, "Some graves are best left undisturbed."

But it may well be too late for the young and the foolish archeological students and "owners" of this particularly frightful dig. Perhaps they've already dug themselves into a place of total loss. A trap they can never escape from, as that place is inside their craniums - their minds.

Abe Stroud, too, learns the truth of mind vampires and that perhaps they can never be beaten back, for once risen from the grave as a fog they find refuge and new life within a man or woman. This awesome collective power comes full on, despite their being both babies and being dead. The question becomes: Has Stroud finally met his match in the world of the supernatural? It's Stroud vs the vampire babies.
