AUSTIN SPOTLIGHT 2025
OFFICIAL SELECTION

SEPT 20TH AT SOUTHWEST LAKE CREEK 7

The 8th Codex

Edward C. McMullen Jr.

"The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him."
- Bram Stoker

Ray's friends did not believe that Bloody Mary would appear, even as the young women read from an ancient book of Summonings: The 8th Codex.

Bloody Mary is now real in our world, unleashed in a feeding frenzy that cuts a deadly path through the female students of a small college town.

Nobody knows how to stop Mary or return her. The 8th Codex is a Book of Summoning, not Sending, and Bloody Mary's power is unknown, unwritten, as no one ever lived to bear witness to the true Horror of Bloody Mary.

It's only a matter of time before Mary swiftly sets her sights on the last female in Ray's group: his girlfriend Trina.

To his parent's Horror, Ray, young and in love, would rather die in a world where Trina lives, than live in a world where Trina dies.

But in the convoluted and secret twists and turns of Mary's increasing power and hunger, how can Ray stop a cursed Evil Spirit that will kill to become a God?
