'Thirst of the Living Dead' is a horror novel by Arthur Leo Zagat. Strange, horrible tales were told of the lake that the Iroquois had called the Eye of Evil, but none so strange and horrible as happened that hideous night when Ralph Dean fought, a pain-wracked madman, for his body and his soulfought the angry gods of an ancient race long dead, and the thirsting Things, dead yet alive, that crept through the howling storm in search of warm red human blood!
