To avoid detection, he feeds only when necessary, taking those that will be little missed. For over seven decades it'd been going fairly well, but time catches up with everyone. In a rapidly changing world, Luke is finding it harder and harder to stay under the radar, and now someone has discovered what he is. When the predator becomes the prey, all bets are off, and something's gotta give.

Jean Toomer’s revolutionary masterpiece Cane (1923) ushered in the era we now know as the Harlem Renaissance, and has come to be considered one of the classic works of American literary modernism. A boldly experimental “novel” mixing prose, poetry, and dramatic sketches, the book’s hallmark is its formal sophistication; sexuality, racism, and industrialization are among its major themes. Above all else it offers unforgettably evocative portraits of the African American lives Toomer encountered in rural Georgia, by turns down-to-earth, heartfelt, hauntingly lyrical.
