"The definitive unauthorized chronology"--Cover.
"An ingenious reappraisal of a classic text, Dracula's Crypt presents Stoker's novel as a subtly ironic commentary on England's preoccupation with racial purity. Probing psychobiographical, political, and cultural elements of Stoker's background and milieu, Joseph Valente distinguishes Stoker's viewpoint from that of his virulently racist, hypermasculine vampire hunters, showing how the author's dual Anglo-Celtic heritage and uncertain status as an Irish parvenu among London's theatrical elite led him to espouse a progressive racial ideology at odds with the dominant Anglo-Saxon supremacism. In the light of Stoker's experience, the shabby-genteel Count Dracula can be seen as a doppelganger, an ambiguous figure who is at once the blood-conscious landed aristocrat and the bloodthirsty foreign invader."--BOOK JACKET.

A WANDERER on the road keeps losing track of time ... and place. His only clues to who he is come from the many fatal wounds on his body and the recurring nightmares of a doomsday cop, a gunslinging clown and a maniac on a mission from God. Are they echoes from his past life, or is he haunted by something that followed him back from the grave? The living dead walk the road with him, feral beasts trail behind and it’s been raining nonstop for days; but those mysteries, like the circumstances surrounding his own death, can wait ... For now, he believes that a life can be saved if he can just remember his name. THE NIGHT ONCE MORE returns to the World of Change where people stopped aging, the dead rose from their graves, it started raining and it’s been raining ever since. But a guy’s got to make a living, doesn’t he? THE NIGHT ONCE MORE takes the reader to a unique setting that mixes Gothic horror with the two-fisted pragmatism of a hard-boiled detective novel.
"THAT ANIMAN robot sure is a monster! Of course, in my own special way, so am I," said Thirteen-Time World Champion Snuff Fighter, NUKE. Is he the explosive and dangerous result of illegal genetic experiments gone wrong or a Darwinian throwback spawned by radioactive toxins, viral outbreaks, and climate change? YOU ASK HIM! Join the world's most violent man on a raunchy voyage of self-discovery that takes him from the frigid peaks of the Canadian Rockies to the blistering, blood-soaked Snuff Fighting rings of Argentina. Professional fighting goes full gladiator in this savagely funny and terrifying story of the very near future. THE SOLDIER, Book One of G. Wells Taylor’s 21st Century Snuff Fighter epic, will leave you screaming for more!
THE BEST SECRETS are about the past, and we tell those because they happened long ago or far away to somebody else who is dead and gone. That’s all ancient history, so those secrets are safe to tell. But there are other things that are happening right now. Secrets that you don’t even dare whisper about. Secrets like this one: There are monsters on Memory Lane. I know, because I’ve met them. Not real ones, but they’re monsters just the same. You never know where they’re going to pop up, but they seem to like Memory Lane the best. You'll find some in this novella.
BACK IN THE DAY ... People didn’t know that it was happening, so it was totally out of control by the time authorities understood that something serious was going on. As a result, the worst of it incubated in the shadows, hidden behind closed doors and far from view, where the true horror played out in isolation. Where no one could hear you scream. The Variant Effect was impossible to detect until you were already infected. There was no way to tell if it was near, if it was cooking in you, or if it had passed you by altogether. First responders were the first to document evidence of its existence, the first to see it happening, and often the first to feel it boiling in their blood. Stress set it off and fear fed it, so it was a perfect fit for cops, firemen, and EMTs. But in the beginning all they could do was file incident reports and wonder. Here is a short story from early in the day.
A DARK-HAIRED beauty comes calling with news of a compound being built south of Greasetown where neo-Nazis are setting up shop. They claim to be turning over a new leaf, but she knows different and wants Wildclown to join the band of mercenaries she's hired to stop the cancerous cult before it spreads. The detective almost accepts the damsel's desperate mission, but doesn't trust the righteous passion in her eyes. Wildclown hasn't been back on the job long enough to take any leaps of faith that might risk alienating his partner Elmo. And he sure doesn’t want to get him killed again. Business is business, after all, and pretty green eyes were a dime a dozen for a detective agency that needed every dollar. When the woman politely accepts the detective’s refusal, it leaves him feeling worse, and doubting his abilities that have yet to be fully tested since his return. So, when Wildclown later learns the bad news about her mission, his guilty conscience goes into high gear, and an investigation leads him to an ancient evil that refuses to believe he isn't on the case. RETURN TO THE WORLD OF CHANGE in DAMNED WITH THE DEVIL sixth book in The Wildclown Mysteries and sequel to THE NIGHT ONCE MORE.
What prompts children to tell stories? What does the word "story" mean to a child at two or five years of age? The Folkstories of Children, first published in 1981, features nearly five hundred stories that were volunteered by fifty children between the ages of two and ten and transcribed word for word. The stories are organized chronologically by the age of the teller, revealing the progression of verbal competence and the gradual emergence of staging and plot organization. Many stories told by two-year-olds, for example, have only beginnings with no middle or end; the "narrative" is held together by rhyme or alliteration. After the age of three or four, the same children tell stories that feature a central character and a narrative arc. The stories also exhibit each child's growing awareness and management of his or her environment and life concerns. Some children see their stories as dialogues between teller and audience, others as monologues expressing concerns about fate and the forces of good and evil. Brian Sutton-Smith discusses the possible origins of the stories themselves: folktales, parent and teacher reading, media, required writing of stories in school, dreams, and play. The notes to each chapter draw on this context as well as folktale analysis and child development theory to consider why and how the stories take their particular forms. The Folkstories of Children provides valuable evidence and insight into the ways children actively and inventively engage language as they grow.
