Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vrykolakas - the word is a mouthful and seems to get caught in the throat, doesn't it? But that's as it should be. Let Arabus Drake, Greek vampire, grab you by the throat and pull you around the historical world in his tales. Kicking and screaming and saying no more please, and yet unable to stop turning pages, unable to walk away, because his world is your world, after all, and you've known he was out there all along. Give him a chance to get under your skin and you will find you'd rather go a day and a half without breathing than turn your back on Arabus Drake. Arabus tells his tales of seeking acceptance in a living world since the day he emerged from the grave in 1503. Included are tales that give readers insights into how it feels to be undead. Along the journey his search evolves from seeking the soul of the woman that he was murdered with to finding a more unusual way of loving and acceptance, along the way fighting the Turk army, pirates, Tories, a vindictive lawman and a wily ghost who stands between him and a woman he thinks can finally love him.
Book Synopsis Grimm's American Macabre by : Lizbeth Grimm
Download or read book Grimm's American Macabre written by Lizbeth Grimm and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were the famous Grimms Brothers who penned fairy tale collections. Their books outsold everything but the Bible. There have been multiple movie adaptations and a TV series. While Lizbeth Grimm cannot claim direct descent from these famous brothers (only one of whom married and had children), her father grew up in Grimms, Wisconsin, a limestone-laden area, in the house on the cover. The house was built by a limestone/cement company around 1883. Grimms was a company town, named for the several immigrants from Germany who settled there. One was Lizbeth's great-grandfather, Jacob Grimm. Lizbeth found out she was a Grimm as a child, and began to envision having her own fairy tale collection someday. She has been gathering these stories for a long time. The limestone business was booming in Grimms, Wisconsin in the 1930s, when Lizbeth's grandmother, who raised nine children there, became a widow. The town even had a Speed Queen Washing Machine Company- lime quarrying was dirty business. Grimms today is an unincorporated village within the township of Cato, its ghostly presence known by a road marker and a few still-standing residences. This house, however, did not fall naturally. It had to be torn down for fear of injury to the youth having parties there. Evidence of one of those parties can be seen on the cover with close inspection. Lizbeth often visited with her extended family in the aging house that had no indoor plumbing but boasted a big cast iron stove that crackled and hissed, always hot and ready to cook. Her job was helping to gather firewood and an occasional cow chip from the herd up on the hill. In later years, after her grandmother moved away, Lizbeth felt the house was haunted, or, at least, had stories to tell. The twenty-four stories are linked by the recognition that there is a world outside our five senses. They are stories that will make you laugh, cry, think ... and maybe understand the human journey a little better. They are stories taken from the gut of the soul, modern fairy tales for the young at heart of all ages who still hunger to explore life, technology, nature, and all that's still spiritual in the world around us. Journey with the misinformed mom, the thief who learns respect, the woman so involved in her own illusions that she cannot recognize what's real, and a young girl's wrongful intrusion into the world of magic. Open your mind to the girl who transforms for love, the sister who sacrifices for her brother, an otherworldly father trying to do the best for his family, and the no-longer-living girl who hasn't figured out she's dead. Even the animals have something to offer, like the bear that transforms, the cat leading a revolution, and the giraffe on a quest to save two deserving humans. There's something for everyone within these pages, even a couple of historical tales with messages for the future. Of course, nature wins in this collection-as it should. Come in ... these tales are waiting for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supernaturally tinged stories from William T. Vollmann, author of the National Book Award winner Europe Central Watch for Vollmann’s new work of nonfiction, No Immediate Danger, coming in April of 2018 In this magnificent new work of fiction, his first in nine years, celebrated author William T. Vollmann offers a collection of ghost stories linked by themes of love, death, and the erotic. A Bohemian farmer’s dead wife returns to him, and their love endures, but at a gruesome price. A geisha prolongs her life by turning into a cherry tree. A journalist, haunted by the half-forgotten killing of a Bosnian couple, watches their story, and his own wartime tragedy, slip away from him. A dying American romances the ghost of his high school sweetheart while a homeless salaryman in Tokyo animates paper cutouts of ancient heroes. Are ghosts memories, fantasies, or monsters? Is there life in death? Vollmann has always operated in the shadowy borderland between categories, and these eerie tales, however far-flung their settings, all focus on the attempts of the living to avoid, control, or even seduce death. Vollmann’s stories will transport readers to a fantastical world where love and lust make anything possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desire can be addicting... Shaken by the death of a close friend, Evander takes it upon himself to track down the rest of the Arcadians to face off against Dionysus and the Boeotians. It seems like a good plan-until the vampire who disrupted his life returns to tempt the beast only she seems to awaken within him. Vander hates her, blames her for the tragedy that befell The Aegean Inn months before, but he craves her in his bed. He can't resist her bite...or her kiss. Free after being imprisoned and double-crossed by Dionysus, Bremusa only wants to be left alone. Born an Amazon and made into a monster by Lamia, she is prepared to handle any threat. So why can't she help herself when trouble finds her in the form of a sexy satyr prince she once tasted and didn't have the time to savor? Just one night with him would alleviate her curiosity, but could never be enough to sate her hunger for him. Elsewhere, enemies make strategic plays with apocalyptic intentions. Apollo has gone missing, Dionysus has used the syrinx, and Lamia won't rest until she breaks Bremusa's spirit-and her heart. Will Vander and Bremusa be able to stand their ground, or will their time together come to an abrupt halt? Not like anyone could survive the end of the world, or could they?

Download or read book The Vampire written by Thomas M. Bohn and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An illuminating contribution to scholarship on the vampire figure.”—Slavic Review Even before Bram Stoker immortalized Transylvania as the homeland of his fictional Count Dracula, the figure of the vampire was inextricably tied to Eastern Europe in the popular imagination. Drawing on a wealth of previously neglected sources, this book offers a fascinating account of how vampires—whose various incarnations originally emerged from folk traditions from all over the world—became so strongly identified with Eastern Europe. It demonstrates that the modern conception of the vampire was born in the crucible of the Enlightenment, embodying a mysterious, Eastern otherness that stood opposed to Western rationality. From the Prologue: From Original Sin to Eternal Life For a broad contemporary public, the vampire has become a star, a media sensation from Hollywood. Bestselling authors such as Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer continue to fire the imaginations of young and old alike, and bloodsuckers have achieved immortality through films like Dracula, Interview with a Vampireand Twilight. It is no wonder that, in the teenage bedrooms of our globalized world, vampires even steal the show from Harry Potter. They have long since been assigned individual personalities and treated with sympathy. They may possess superhuman powers, but they are also burdened by their immortality and have to learn to come to terms with their craving for blood. Whereas the Southeast European vampire, discovered in the 1730s, underwent an Americanization and domestication in the media landscape of the twentieth century, the creole zombies that first became known through the cheap novels and horror films of the 1920s still continue to serve as brainless horror figures. Do bloodsuckers really exist and should we really be afraid of the dead? These are the questions that I seek to tackle, following the wishes of my daughter, who was ten when I started this project.
