It's 1892 in Exeter, Rhode Island. Your community is being devastated by a wave of tuberculosis so vicious that many folks believe there is something darker going on. Something supernatural. There are whispers of Vampires being the cause of this plague. And the neighbor girl, now dead for 10 years, is being dug up out of her grave, as the alleged culprit. This is the story of Mercy Lena Brown and the Vampire Panic of Rhode Island.
