Sin Made Flesh

Isolated in a Prussian forest in the depths of winter 1639, the Hiller family hides in their farmhouse from the depredations of the Thirty Years War. Anton and Klara and their lonely adolescent son, Augustin, give shelter to a ravaged damsel, Adala, after soldiers have sacked her village. By some dark miracle, Adala is able to heal from her grievous wounds and, when alone with Augustin, proves to be far from helpless. New fears arrive when a mysterious English mercenary, Colonel Osgood Last, appears at the farmhouse searching for Adala; he is armed with a stake and a suspiciously deep knowledge of the occult. Anton must decide who the real enemy is: Adala or Last? Worse, Klara may ultimately have to make an even more torturous choice between her son and God.Sin Made Flesh: The Parable of the Vampire is the novel fans of classic gothic horror and Christian supernatural fiction have been awaiting. Just as C. S. Lewis used the fantasy genre to elaborate on Christian themes, Christopher Hahn uses the horror genre not only to entertain and inspire but also to offer warnings about the evil that invades our world and the evil we harbor within ourselves. Sin Made Flesh explores the enticing nature of sin, the importance of fighting that attraction, and the power that even the humblest and most oppressed can wield when they place their faith in the Lord.
