📝 Description: Inquisition

Frank D Gross returns with Inquisition, the third volume in his Wolfgang Trilogy. The narrative follows vampire hunter Tenor Wolfgang as he searches for his missing son, Dorian. This quest drives Wolfgang and his companion Kronklich through a frozen gothic landscape against dark forces. The text centers on the recurring phrase Blood of the father, which haunts Wolfgang’s thoughts about the intentions of these shadows. The story examines the nature of the Carnalreesee and their ultimate purpose. Gross structures the plot as a race across icy terrain to reach Dorian before time runs out. The book covers themes of familial duty, supernatural conflict, and the suffering inherent in such pursuits. It appeals to readers who enjoy gothic horror with clear stakes and established characters. Those seeking lighthearted fantasy or non-fiction will find little here. The narrative relies on the established dynamics between Wolfgang, Kronklich, and Dorian. Gross draws on vampire hunter traditions within a supernatural framework. The work is organized around the immediate peril of the missing son and the broader mystery of the enemy. Fans of the previous installments will recognize the tone and style. New readers may find the context lacking without prior knowledge of the series. The book suits those who prefer dense, atmospheric horror over fast-paced action. It does not suit casual readers looking for simple resolutions.
