The Narrows is a horror novel by American writer Ronald Malfi. It was published in 2012 by Darkfuse Publications in a limited edition hardcover for collectors, then as a trade paperback and ebook with Samhain Publishing. In an interview, Malfi suggests the idea for the novel came from his interest in attempting to write a vampire novel that had no vampires in it: "I thought, What if I could write a vampire novel without vampires? What type of creature could take their place--a creature that, throughout history, may have given birth to the vampire legend? And that opened up the door to all these thoughts."[1] The book contains three epigraphs from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
