About “Sundown Party”

One of the most interesting and compelling moments in this horror novel its beginning. The image captures the moment the teen protagonist, Tana Bach, wakes up in a bathroom after a house party. I took some artistic liberties by dressing her in Dr.Martens to show that she isn’t in the bathtub on purpose and to indicate that she has an edgier personality than her white babydoll dress might suggest.

Her makeup is running and she shields her eyes against the afternoon sunlight — this indicates she had a rough night is suffering from a massive hangover as a result.

Confused as to how she ended up falling asleep in a bathtub in the first place, I painted dripping splatters of blood to foreshadow that Tana is about to quickly learn that vampires have attacked the house while she was passed out in the bathtub and she and her ex-boyfriend are the only people left alive.
