The Novelization of the Indie Film YOUNG BLOOD: EVIL INTENTIONS

Sisters Anavey and Anastasia Winchester live in constant fear of their stepfather, Dale Buckmeyer. The young girls never know when his temper will flare up, and their mother, Olivia, who is devoted to Dale, seems blind to their plight. Anavey, an intelligent but moody twelve-year-old, is especially subject to his anger. However, Anavey has a secret. A dark, deadly secret. From far back in her family history, Anavey has inherited a unique gene: a vampire gene, which, as she approaches puberty, begins to assert itself, both physically and psychologically. Naturally enough, she begins to feed on the blood of the children around her — even her sister’s. However, not satisfied with merely subsisting on their essence, she begins turning the other kids into vampires, all of whom are subject to her dominant will. Realizing the extent of her newfound powers, Anavey begins making plans to free herself — and her sister — from Dale’s cruel hold….

Young Blood is author Stephen Mark Rainey’s novelization of the indie film Young Blood: Evil Intentions, based on the original screenplay by Mat and Myron Smith. The movie chronicles the struggles of sisters Anavey and Anastasia, but the novel delves deeper into the characters’ lives — how the children deal with the onset of their own unfathomable powers, how their families struggle to understand and overcome the unthinkable, and why the darkness in young Anavey grows until it threatens to destroy an entire community.
