Son algo más que tres viejos brujos. Son criaturas impías con poderes para controlar las mentes ajenas mientras alimentan emociones generadas durante sus asesinatos rituales.

Una vez al año, estos vampiros de la mente se reúnen para con sus horribles juegos dividir, confundir y violar las almas humanas. Pero esta vez algo ha fallado y los tres deben enfrentarse a un indescriptible horror. Ellos y su inocente presa están abocados a una dura lucha que decidirá sus destinos y el del mundo entero.

Desde la basura nazi de la Segunda Guerra Mundial a los secretos concejos que se celebran en Estados Unidos, el horror bajará a las calles y los vampiros de la mente desarrollarán un poder que crece en la penumbra del siglo XX y en la parte oscura de la mente humana.
