Hunter's Journal

Concept: Sort of a ‘Grail Hunter’s diary but for vampires. Rather than being written by a single person, the diary will change authors over the years - passed from person to person (or found by people along the way) with each new author adding what they’ve discovered.

Author #1: 1950
The first author of the book is the one who started it all. He’s an Army Chaplain / Priest that is stationed in Europe during World War II. Through a series of events while he is out with a group of soldiers who are trying to secure an old town, he witnesses a vampire attacking the troops. Their position was thought to be secure but each night a few guys would be attacked, their bodies found the next morning with bones broken, necks cut, etc.

The priest took a few days after the attack to finally write down what he had seen and put it his thoughts in a journal as a form of confession that he then gave to a friend for safekeeping. He basically was writing up the events as a ‘war diary’ and then gave it away so that someone would know what had happened but he didn’t want anything to do with it.
