Download or read book Vampires written by Rob Shone and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the smash success of contemporary vampire stories such as Twilight and the explosion of Young Adult vampire books, this graphic nonfiction compendium brings readers back to the folkloric origins of these macabre tales and the semi-historical sources for vampire mythology. Collecting three lesser known but deeply chilling vampire stories from seventeenth century England, eighteenth century Serbia, and nineteenth century Rhode Island, this book draws the reader into a world of shadows, suspense, menace, and pure terror. Vividly illustrated in rich, saturated colors and almost unnervingly atmospheric, these stories remind readers of just how dangerous the vampires of ancient legend were. They were indeed a far cry from the sensitive and serenely beautiful, angst-ridden adolescent versions popular today. Chilling and hair-raising tales told in artfully wrought full-color graphic panels, coupled with scrupulous historical, cultural, and sociological context, this book is a treasure trove of fascinating and frightening folklore.
Book Synopsis Undead in the West by : Cynthia J. Miller
Download or read book Undead in the West written by Cynthia J. Miller and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Undead in the West: Vampires, Zombies, Mummies, and Ghosts on the Cinematic Frontier, Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have assembled a collection of essays that explore the many tropes and themes through which undead Westerns make the genre’s inner plagues and demons visible, and lay siege to a frontier tied to myths of strength, ingenuity, freedom, and independence. The volume is divided into three sections: “Reanimating Classic Western Tropes” examines traditional Western characters, symbolism, and plot devices and how they are given new life in undead Westerns; “The Moral Order Under Siege” explores the ways in which the undead confront classic values and morality tales embodied in Western films; and “And Hell Followed with Him” looks at justice, retribution, and retaliation at the hands of undead angels and avenger. The subjects explored here run the gamut from such B films as Curse of the Undead and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to A-list features like From Dusk ‘til Dawn and Jonah Hex, as well as animated films (Rango) and television programs (The Walking Dead and Supernatural). Other films discussed include Sam Raimi’s Bubba Ho-Tep, John Carpenter’s Vampires, George Romero’s Land of the Dead, andSergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West. Featuring several illustrations and a filmography, Undead in the West will appeal to film scholars, especially those interested in hybrid genres, as well as fans of the Western and the supernatural in cinema.
Book Synopsis We are the Undead, or are We? - Unraveling Your Favorite Vampire Myths and Mysteries by : Briana Blair
Download or read book We are the Undead, or are We? - Unraveling Your Favorite Vampire Myths and Mysteries written by Briana Blair and published by Briana Blair. This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’ve always had a thing for vampires, ever since I was a kid. There are a million reasons, more than I could ever name off. I thought it might be high time for me to write a book about them. I’ve read about and seen all sorts of different versions of vampires. There are so many theories as to what they are, how they work and everything else, I figured I’d throw my hat in the ring. You may read this and think I hit the nail on the head, you may think I’m nuts, maybe a little of both. At any rate, I’m taking this opportunity to tackle a handful of the questions that I, and many others, have about vampires. Each chapter will handle a different aspect of vampires from their origins to feeding habits, sexual abilities and a lot in between. I hope that if nothing else you’ll find this book entertaining.
Book Synopsis How to Kill a Vampire by : Liisa Ladouceur
Download or read book How to Kill a Vampire written by Liisa Ladouceur and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citing examples from folklore, as well as horror films, TV shows, and works of fiction, this book details all known ways to prevent vampirism, including how to protect oneself against attacks and how to destroy vampires. While offering explanations on the origins and uses of most commonly known tactics in fending off vampirism, the book also delves much deeper by collecting historical accounts of unusual burial rites and shocking superstitions from European history, from the “real” Serbian vampire Arnold Paole to the unique Bulgarian Djadadjii, a professional vampire “bottler.” It traces the evolution of how to kill the fictional vampire—from Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the Hammer horror films beginning in the 1950s to Anne Rice’s Lestat and the dreamy vamps of Twilight, True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries—and also celebrates the most important slayers, including Van Helsing, Buffy, and Blade. In exploring how and why these monsters have been created and the increasingly complex ways in which they are destroyed, the book not only serves as a handy guide to the history and modern role of the vampire, it reveals much about the changing nature of human fears.
