Book excerpt: I am the greatest of monsters...Thousands of years ago I made a mistake. A terrible mistake that cost me everything. My dearest husband. My beloved children.Even my humanity.My curse makes me dangerous to all those around me, so I've secluded myself where I can never hurt another person again.But the Fates have other plans for me that don't include hiding for eternity. Three gargoyles I killed have returned from the dead to seek, not only revenge against me, but also to remove the curse I've inadvertently passed onto them. But if they can't provide me with the blood I need to quench my hunger, all of humanity will be in danger on our path.And so, we strike a deal: they'll provide me with blood, and I'll help to seek the answers to end this curse.I'd be lying if I didn't say I was afraid. Of trusting my enemies, yes, but more than anything, of trusting myself. I am a bloodthirsty monster that can shift into a dangerous form, that feeds on blood, that kills. Am I a fool to think I could be anything more?LAMIA'S BITE is a paranormal reverse harem romance featuring a vampiristic heroine and three sexy gargoyles. This is also a #whychoose romance, meaning our heroine doesn't need to choose between her love interests. And like all the books in this series, it's so hot it might just boil your blood!
Book Synopsis Lamia (Complete Edition) by : John Keats
Download or read book Lamia (Complete Edition) written by John Keats and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lamia" is a narrative poem, that tells how the god Hermes hears of a nymph who is more beautiful than all. Hermes, searching for the nymph, instead comes across a Lamia, trapped in the form of a serpent. She reveals the previously invisible nymph to him and in return he restores her human form. She goes to seek a youth of Corinth, Lycius, while Hermes and his nymph depart together into the woods. The relationship between Lycius and Lamia, however, is destroyed when the sage Apollonius reveals Lamia's true identity at their wedding feast, whereupon she seemingly disappears and Lycius dies of grief. Also, Keats's poem had a deep influence on Edgar Allan Poe's sonnet "To Science."

Book Synopsis From Demons to Dracula by : Matthew Beresford
Download or read book From Demons to Dracula written by Matthew Beresford and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In blood-soaked lore handed down the centuries, the vampire is a monster of endless fascination: from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this seductive lover of blood haunts popular culture and inhabits our darkest imaginings. The cultural history of the vampire is a rich and varied tale that is now ably documented in From Demons to Dracula, a compelling study of the vampire myth that reveals why this creature of the undead fascinates us so. Beresford’s chronicle roams from the mountains of Eastern Europe to the foggy streets of Victorian England to Hollywood, as he investigates the portrayal of the vampire in history, literature, and art. Opening with the original Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, and his status as a national hero in Romania, he endeavors to winnow out truths from the complex legend and folklore. From Demons to Dracula tracks the evolution of the vampire as an icon and supernatural creature, drawing on classical Greek and Roman myths, witch trials and medieval plagues, Gothic literature, and even contemporary works such as Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire and Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Beresford also looks at the widespread impact of screen vampires from television shows, classic movies starring Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, and more recent films such as Underworld and Blade. Whether as a demon of the underworld or a light-fearing hunter of humans, the vampire has endured through the centuries, the book reveals, as powerfully symbolic figure for human concerns with life, death, and the afterlife. A wide-ranging and engrossing chronicle, From Demons to Dracula casts this blood-thirsty nightstalker as a remarkably complex and telling totem of our nightmares, real and imagined.

And after the horrible things I’ve done to you, you still look at me like I’m the most precious person in the world. What brings you to do this? Why would someone as great as you, even smile at me?

Book Synopsis Soft-Shed Kisses by : Małgorzata Łuczyńska-Hołdys
Download or read book Soft-Shed Kisses written by Małgorzata Łuczyńska-Hołdys and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The femme fatale appears with unceasing regularity in the texts of major poets of the nineteenth century. She symbolises an intractable mystery, a refusal to be defined and a fierce attempt to exist outside the established gender system. Soft-Shed Kisses: Re-visioning the Femme Fatale in English Poetry of the 19th Century interrogates the construction and use of the fatal woman motif in the poetry of canonical male writers of the times, both Romantic and Victorian. Subsequent chapters investigate a variety of poems by John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred Tennyson, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Charles Algernon Swinburne in which the femme fatale surfaces as the most important character. Close-readings of poetry are enriched by an examination of the same motif in visual art, set against the vivid cultural background of the Victorian era.
