The Hook

She tore her husband's throat out with fangs as long and sharp as needles. The bible burned her face before it fell away.

Prelude

Emmett Brown, a traveling peddler was caught in a snow storm while traveling through Maine when he took refuge in the Old Crow common house when an man named Gerald Lumbly came in.

Lumbly, dispute warning from the locals, had tried to set up a homestead in the abandoned town of Jerusalem's lot and while taking shelter for the night from his wife’s nagging over being forced to live in such a haunted abandoned place, heard his wife and daughter screaming from the house.

Lumbly joined the common house owner, Herb "Tookey" Tooklander, and another local man named John Booth in searching for the family.

They encountered a woman Lumbly identified as his wife. His wife Abigale was underdressed for the weather and when Lumbly approached him, she opned a fanged mouth and leap apon him, ripping his throut out. Booth brandished a cross from under his coat, while Tooklander slapped a bible againt the woman’s face to drive her away into the storm so he could check on lumbley. Before they fled with Brown back to Durham Tooklander took Lumley’s head with a hatcht and then the two men refused to talk about it. Instead only warning Brown to stay away from Jerusalem’s lot.

Years later, another Booth arrived and took up residence in Castlewaite, the Boone ancestrial home and found the book, moving it to Castlewaite and awakeing the slumbeing Nosferatu.

Later a man named Lumbley was hired to take up residence in the town by Phillip in order to fully awaken the worms until they attack and transformed his wife and daughter.
