My name is Ethan Turner and I was thrust into this life by no will of my own, and now I am what I am...I am not perfect-I never have been-but I will fight evil whether it lives within me or I come face-to-face with it. The changes a teen goes through are tough. And as a senior, I stressed over planning my future. But that was nothing compared to what I would face and the future that waited for me. Whether by chance or fate, the change happened suddenly. I woke burning with thirst and a desire to understand the impossible. A girl, a very intoxicating girl, was there to help. Tabitha had saved my life. She fed me, taught me, but had to send me out on my own, without friends, without family, and worst of all, without her. My life was cursed and my body marked. Those were the things that brought others to me, others like myself-vampires. But although I rejected what I had become and the desires that came with it, I knew I had to accept their help. I have a wedding to stop. The family of my seductive angel intends for her to marry a power-hungry German with unchecked ambitions. That will happen over my dead body, or rather, my ashes. And my plan will turn this crazy world upside down when "Darkness Has Fallen."

This sweeping history of popular religion in eighteenth-century New England examines the experiences of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Drawing on an unprecedented quantity of letters, diaries, and testimonies, Douglas Winiarski recovers the pervasive and vigorous lay piety of the early eighteenth century. George Whitefield's preaching tour of 1740 called into question the fundamental assumptions of this thriving religious culture. Incited by Whitefield and fascinated by miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit--visions, bodily fits, and sudden conversions--countless New Englanders broke ranks with family, neighbors, and ministers who dismissed their religious experiences as delusive enthusiasm. These new converts, the progenitors of today's evangelical movement, bitterly assaulted the Congregational establishment. The 1740s and 1750s were the dark night of the New England soul, as men and women groped toward a restructured religious order. Conflict transformed inclusive parishes into exclusive networks of combative spiritual seekers. Then as now, evangelicalism emboldened ordinary people to question traditional authorities. Their challenge shattered whole communities.
