The other brides are to be her sisters, but there is great rivalry as the brides compete for their master's affection. Dracula takes Dia away, but to whose castle has he taken her and are they being watched? Dracula's gypsies are loyal to their master and will try to save him but the destroyers led by Van Helsing come, and there is great carnage. Still, for one, there is salvation from the unlikeliest of saviors. There is betrayal and a freak show run by evil men, as well as the greatest passion Dia will ever know. But can she trust it? And what of Dracula's greatest vampire enemy, the one who has fallen in love with Dia; the nobleman Dracula turned. Can he be trusted? Author's excerpt from The Fourth Bride: The incident though, this rising up of vampire killers, disturbed Dracula and he became moody and silent. Eventually, he took me aside. He told me first of himself and of the princely blood he had which flowed through his veins. “These veins,” he said, pointing at them, “once ran with living blood—blood that nourished a human being and not this evil and corruption you see before you.” I scoffed at that, whereupon he smiled sadly. “No, dear one, it is true. I am not as I was, a warrior prince of the house of Dracula who did battle Turks to keep this land free...”

Book Synopsis THE WEIRD TALES - Horror & Macabre Collection by : Arthur Machen
Download or read book THE WEIRD TALES - Horror & Macabre Collection written by Arthur Machen and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "THE WEIRD TALES - Horror & Macabre Collection" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Great God Pan was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. H. P. Lovecraft praised the story, saying: "No one could begin to describe the cumulative suspense and ultimate horror with which every paragraph abounds"; he added that "the sensitive reader" reaches the end with "an appreciative shudder." Lovecraft also noted, however, that "melodrama is undeniably present, and coincidence is stretched to a length which appears absurd upon analysis." Bennett Cerf described the story as a "masterpiece". The Three Impostors is an episodic novel incorporating several weird stories, including "The Novel of the White Powder" and "The Novel of the Black Seal", and culminates in a final denouement of deadly horror, connected with a secret society devoted to debauched pagan rites. The three impostors of the title are members of this society who weave a web of deception in the streets of London—relating the aforementioned weird tales in the process—as they search for a missing Roman coin commemorating an infamous orgy by the Emperor Tiberius and close in on their prey: "the young man with spectacles". The White People is a fantasy-horror book. A discussion between two men on the nature of evil leads one of them to reveal a mysterious Green Book he possesses. It is often described as one of the greatest of all horror stories. Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was a Welsh author and mystic of the 1890s and early 20th century. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction.

Book Synopsis The Werewolf of Priory Grange by : Robin Bailes
Download or read book The Werewolf of Priory Grange written by Robin Bailes and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Werewolf of Priory Grange is the second in the Universal Library series of horror/comedy books inspired by classic films of the 1930s and 40s (and by Universal studios' abortive attempts to re-invent their classics for a modern audience - this is my version). The stories are set in the present day but with a classic feel, tongue in cheek delivery and many references to the original films and other horror movies for film fans to spot. Though it's probably better to read the books in order, this is a stand-alone story and you don't have to have read Book 1 (The Mummy's Quest) to enjoy it. On an isolated moor in the north of England stands the Priory Grange School, perhaps the most remote boarding school in Britain. From her arrival, along with her brother Oliver, Lisa Hobson (an average A-Level student with a love of gothic literature) finds the school a chilling and unfriendly place, made worse by a pack of bullies, led by the odious Larry Glendon. But there's more to this place, and more to the bullies, than meets the eye. When Lisa takes it upon herself to investigate the series of bloody deaths that have been occurring in the area, the truth proves more monstrous than she could have imagined, and more dangerous, as she falls foul of the White Wolf. Lisa is helped by a vengeful gypsy, a rakish member of the local gentry, and by a caretaker named Boris, who turns out to be the agent of the shadowy Universal organisation. Also by a dog called Moose. It turns out that the white wolf is only the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface is a plan far more devious than anything any of them could have imagined, one that may yet claim Oliver's life. And Lisa's. And that of anyone else who gets in the way.

When they meet again, Ixora denies having been there. Odder still, John discovers her in a film containing exactly the same sequence. So begins a dreamlike relationship that escalates into a nightmare. Despite his good intentions, John finds himself embarking on a passionate affair. But violence and death track the ill-fated couple as John risks his home, his career and his life to save Ixora from a horrific destiny. Now the subject of a police investigation, he finds himself trapped in a vortex of spreading evil which may claim his very soul...

Book excerpt: In this intriguing historical novel, a young woman who is sent to a horrific “bride school” to be molded into the perfect Nazi wife finds her life forever intertwined with a young Jewish woman about to give birth. Germany, 1939 As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife. The lessons of hatred, prejudice, and misogyny disturb her and she finds herself desperate to escape. For Mathilde Altman, a German Jewish woman, the war has brought more devastation than she ever thought possible. Torn from her work, her family, and her new husband, she fights to keep her unborn baby safe. But when the unthinkable happens, Tilde realizes she must hide. The risk of discovery grows greater with each passing day, but she has no other options. When Hanna discovers Tilde hiding near the school, she knows she must help her however she can. For Tilde, fear wars with desperation when Hanna proposes a risky plan. Will they both be able to escape with their lives and if they do, what kind of future can they possibly hope for?
