Description: One of the most powerful horror novels to have appeared in the past 20 years, "The Unblemished" is an epic tale of history and destiny, desperation and desire, atrocity and atonement. It is both a savagely beautiful tale of a mother's determination to rescue her daughter and a blistering plunge into the insane world of serial killings and a cannibalistic apocalypse that rips through modern Britain. If you dare, enter the minds of a blood-crazed lover of amputee victims and the serial killer who believes he is the rightful son and heir to an ancient dynasty of flesh-eating monsters. Follow the frantic journey of a mother whose daughter is infected with the stuff of nightmare. And look through the eyes of Bo Mulvey, who possesses the ancient wisdom the monsters need to achieve their full and horrifying potential. A man upon whom the fate and survival of the entire human race depends.
