Plot summary
Caleb Croft, a murderer and rapist electrocuted in the Boston subway, was buried in a California cemetery so vandals would leave the grave alone. He rises there in 1940 and kills Paul, a college student who has just proposed to Leslie Hollander, then rapes her. Lieutenant Panzer investigates and finds the tomb empty. Croft enters a housewife's home and feeds on her. Leslie discovers she is pregnant, believes the baby is Paul's, and refuses the abortion her doctor urges. Her son will not take milk and gains strength only from blood, so she draws her own blood to feed the infant she names James. Thirty years on, James sets out to hunt him down.
