CAST & CREW

Teri Reeves

Wakes from a two-and-a-half-year coma with a thick scar down her face, no memory, and no one left who cares if she lives or dies. Broke, desperate, and grieving the fiancé she can’t let go of, Kate invokes the Draugr to bring Ben back.

James Logan

Kate’s dead fiancé. In life, handsome, kind, and the one who promised to love her forever. In death, he’s ravenous, unstoppable, and not entirely the man she loved. He loves Kate deeply — but a deal’s a deal.

Amber Marie Bollinger

David’s sister. A bitter waitress at Roy’s Diner in Corsicana with a crushed ankle from the accident, a permanent scowl, and a talent for cruelty. She knows things about Kate she shouldn’t — and takes visible pleasure in weaponizing them. Sharp-tongued, fearless, and absolutely not going down without a fight.

Major Dodge

Handsome once, now just tired. Lives alone on his family’s farm with an M-16, grenades, and a conscience that won’t let him sleep. He was Ben’s best friend and Cara’s boyfriend. He knows exactly what happened that night, and he’d rather shoot Kate than face it.

Lynn Andrews

Runs a pawn shop in Tahuacana and walked away from the crash without a scratch — self-proclaimed invincible. Relentlessly self-interested, the first to crack under pressure, and the last to admit he had it coming.

James Russo

A Texas Ranger with a tin star and two and a half years’ worth of questions about a car accident that doesn’t add up. He’s been waiting for Kate to wake up. Tough, stubborn, and unimpressed by the undead.

Dwight Henry

Lanky, imposing, and unsurprisingly gruff. The hospice doctor who watched Kate flatline and come back. He doesn’t do bedside manner, doesn’t have ‘doctor money,’ and doesn’t particularly like Kate. He knows more than he’s told her.

Gale Cronauer

A strange old woman who works at the hospice and the only person who shows Kate any kindness. She knows the legend of the Draugr from the old country, and she recognizes the red-eyed figure from Kate’s dreams. She knows more than she’s letting on.

Robert Johnson

The funeral director. Stuffed into a cheap suit too small for his fat ass, with a bourbon habit and a talent for theatrical threats. He’ll cremate Ben’s remains and flush the ashes unless Kate comes up with five thousand dollars by close of business. This is Texas, after all.

Ed Corbin

A sleazy trucker with a bear logo on his hat, a red-white-and-blue rig, and a chrome revolver in his glove box. Offers Kate a ride and immediately tries to make it transactional. He likes to play ‘brake check’ with speeding cars on dark Texas roads.

Tom Proctor

The grave digger at Thurgood’s cemetery. Quiet, watchful, and always around when the dirt is moving.

Douglas Tait

An ancient entity. Ghoulish white face, burning red eyes, a mouth full of fangs. It doesn’t give gifts — it makes deals. Seal it in blood, deliver every guilty soul before dawn, or lose everything.
