His life journey takes a distinctly different turn when he meets Maya, an alluring female vampire. This novel details a dark version of the modern world, in which demons appear unbidden and where having a talent and using it successfully can mean either life or death. GYPSY BLOOD is a fast-paced, dark, funny and terrifying novel - like nothing that you have ever read before. The whole thing rolls like an avalanche of skateboards building to a climactic battle royal e between Carnival, a two-timing lady vampire, a she-demon with a mother complex, a social-climbing blood god, the collective spirit of the city and a mercenary mariachi band in a rickshaw. This is a fantasy for those folks who HATE fantasy! "If you have got a taste for over-the-top stories in the campy mode of the EVIL DEAD movies, then this is definitely a book that you should look into." - The Goreletter "If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - BOOKGASM "Gypsy Blood is for fans of dark fantasy who think they've seen it all. Where else are you going to find a novel that opens with life and death battle with a succubus, rolls into a vampire's palm reading session, which segues into a bathtub summoning ceremony and climaxes with a non-stop showdown between a blood demon, a city incarnate, and a mercenary band of mariachi armed with a homemade propane-powered kamikaze rickshaw and assorted armaments?" - Hellnotes "True originality is rare but you will find it every time that Steve Vernon puts his fingers on the keyboard." - Jeff Strand (author of PRESSURE)

Book Synopsis Way of the Wanderers by : Jess Smith
Download or read book Way of the Wanderers written by Jess Smith and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Jess reveals a way of life that leaves the reader full of admiration' - Mary Horner Scottish Gypsies, known as Travellers or Tinkers, have wandered Scotland's roads and byways for centuries. Their turbulent history is captured in this passionate new book by Jess Smith, the bestselling author of Jessie's Journey and a Traveller herself. Her quest for the truth takes her on a personal journey of discovery through the tales, songs and culture of the 'pilgrims of the mist', who preferred freedom to security, and a campfire under the stars to a hearth within stone walls. The history Jess has uncovered reveals centuries of prejudice and shocking violence by settled society against Travellers, including the enforced break-up of families and separate schooling. But drawing on her own and her family's experiences as they wandered the glens and braes of Scotland, she also captures the magic and rich traditions of a life lived outside conventional boundaries.
Download or read book Blood Of The Gypsy written by Ray Johnson and published by Club Lighthouse Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brad Jackson got his law degree at night while working homicide for LAPD. He was thirty-four, tall, handsome, well built with brown hair and hazel eyes. His successful firm could defend rich people, who could afford his services, poor people, who could not afford him, or the seven hundred gangs in Los Angeles County; who could easily afford him. He decided on a guaranteed clientele, the gangs of Los Angeles. His choice, obviously, irritated law enforcement. The leader of the strongest Crips gang in Los Angeles told Brad that the major gangs needed him to discover who was killing their officers, making the deaths appear as if committed by a werewolf; which was impossible. If Brad could not find out who was doing the killing, a war could easily break out among the gangs, leaving them to fight a two-front war; fighting themselves and also law enforcement. Brad tried to resist, but the gang leaders of LA made him a financial offer that he could not refuse. He felt that every major legend had a grain of truth and every fable about werewolves seemed to entail gypsies. He set out to find an old gypsy woman, with a long dress, colorful scarf and coins for jewelry. He found his Gypsy, only she was five feet six inches tall, with a raven-black ponytail that came to her waist, haunting eyes that probed deep into his soul, breasts that caused traffic accidents and legs crafted by the Gods on the Hill of the Five Jackals. Together they begin to investigate the deaths of the gang officers, apparently killed by something that could not exist. Their investigating causes problems because law enforcement did not want the public to become aware of serial killings by a creature that can kill and slip away undetected: leaving only fang marks, claw wounds and hair for evidence. Now it is Brad and Mahala who are fighting a two-front war, law enforcement on one side and a creature that cannot be real on the other.

Amie and Jolie Sikes, the Thelma and Louise of the design world, are the Junk Gypsies: a family with an addiction to flea markets, wanderlust, and Americana inspired design. In their world, cowgirls are heroes, road trips last forever, and junk is treasured. Beginning with a little bit of faith and a whole lot of heart and soul, the sisters travelled the back roads of America like gypsies, collecting roadside trinkets and tattered treasures while meeting kindred spirits and lively characters along the way. With a mix of hippie, rock n’ roll, southern charm, and big dreams, these small-town Texas girls became restless wanderers and owners and operators of their dream business and bohemian brand, Junk Gypsy. Filled with stories from their unique journey as well as DIY projects and bohemian inspired designs, Junk Gypsy is a tribute to all the rowdy gypsies, crafty junkers, free-spirited romantics, and true-blue rebels who have ever dared to dream big.

Download or read book Hidden Tapestry written by Debra Dean and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Tapestry reveals the unforgettable story of Flemish American artist Jan Yoors—childhood vagabond, wartime Resistance fighter, and polyamorous New York bohemian. At the peak of his fame in the 1970s, Yoors’s photographs and vast tapestries inspired a dedicated following in his adopted Manhattan and earned him international acclaim. Though his intimate friends guessed the rough outline of his colorful life, Hidden Tapestry is first to detail his astonishing secrets. At twelve, Jan’s life took an extraordinary and unexpected turn when, lured by stories of Gypsies, he wandered off with a group of Roma and continued to live on-and-off with them and with his own family for several years. As an adult in German-occupied France, Yoors joined the Resistance and persuaded his adoptive Roma family to fight alongside him. Defying repeated arrests and torture by the Gestapo, he worked first as a saboteur and later escorted Allied soldiers trapped behind German lines across the Pyrenees to freedom. After the war, he married childhood friend Annabert van Wettum and embarked on his career as an artist. When a friend of Annabert’s, Marianne Citroen, modeled for Yoors, the two began an affair, which led the three to form a polyamorous family that would last for the rest of their lives. Moving to New York, the trio became part of the bohemian life of Greenwich Village in the 1950s. Told in arresting detail by Debra Dean, best-selling author of The Madonnas of Leningrad, Yoors’s story is a luminous and inspiring account of resilience, resourcefulness, and love.
