The story: The Knife tells the story of the last of the 'old-ones' - creatures afflicted with a condition not unlike vampirism: ancient, brutal, unable to withstand the light of the sun. This last old-one has decided to end his life following the suicide of the one he considered his love. The world has gone to ruin, and he, as she had, has had enough. As he awaits the rising of the sun, to burn, to rise - he is held up at knifepoint, stabbed, and then he burns. His assailant scurries away, back into the belly of the estate, the knife in his pocket, the blood of the old-one seared into it. It's not long before the knife cuts someone, a baby, Peter. And it is in Peter that the old-one first awakens. Enfeebled, and trapped, in the body of the lowest of the low, the mewling rat child. It is not long before the knife draws blood again, and one-by-one the old one infects the youth of the estate. Consumed by rage and loathing, he must find the knife before he becomes lost and dissipated...
