What began as an innocent invitation to a costume party in the leafy suburbs of Washington D.C. became the gateway to one of the most chilling discoveries of the 21st century.
In Blood in the Capital, artist-turned-investigator Ebony Gale recounts her descent into a shadow world hidden behind polished smiles, expensive suits, and ancient blood rites. Persuaded by her then-boyfriend to attend what she believed was a theatrical “Vampire Party,” Ebony entered a mansion where the candles burned too low, the eyes lingered too long, and the rituals felt all too real.
To her horror, the guests were not play-acting. They were true believers—devotees of a cult with roots deep in the antebellum South, steeped in a vampiric mythology older than America itself. But what stunned her even more was the guest list: lawyers, Pentagon aides, tech moguls, and media influencers. These were not misfits—they were insiders.
Driven by a visceral need to understand what she had witnessed, Ebony set aside her canvases and picked up her camera, notebook, and recorder. What she uncovered was a network of power and secrecy that stretched from crumbling plantations in Louisiana to the marbled halls of Washington. The cult—known cryptically as The Crimson Circle—was not just reenacting dark myths. It was planning a political ascent, with the aim of placing one of their own at the highest echelon of government.
Blood in the Capital is a terrifying, brilliantly researched exposé that chronicles:
Secret ceremonies held on private estates and abandoned churches
The disturbing role of blood rituals and psychological control in the cult's operations
Leaked documents and encrypted messages revealing influence campaigns and covert funding networks
Attempts on Ebony’s life as her investigation threatened to expose key players
The final, nerve-wracking confrontation that forced her into hiding—and nearly cost her everything
With chilling clarity, Ebony Gale connects the threads between folklore, fanaticism, and raw ambition. This is not just a story about a cult. It’s about how belief—when left to fester in the shadows—can infect the corridors of power, and how art, truth, and courage can be the last line of defense against it.
