Having barely survived a haunting in her own house, 30-something journalist Quinn Matthews has vowed never to get involved with the supernatural again. But her experiences awakened new psychic sensitivities that she can’t turn off. When she attends a performance by the rock group Mad Love, she witnesses a supposed accident that claims the life of a cameraman—except Quinn saw a shadowy figure commit the “crime.” The band’s lead singer, Alan Bardot, asks Quinn to use her gifts to discover who has been trying to sabotage the band since its last tour. Soon, she finds herself entangled in the secrets, grudges and jealousies surrounding Mad Love. Are they really under a curse, as threatening messages have claimed? If someone is using occult means to get revenge, can Quinn find out who, why and how before she ends up a target herself? And finally, can her shaky relationship with her reporter boyfriend survive her spending so much time with a sexy rock star?

After a sizzling on-again-off-again love affair with Nikolai Gregorivich for the past 300 years, I still can't decide if I want to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him. Real talk: A vampire's kiss is pretty hard to resist, but when a vampire sucks...he really sucks. Unfortunately, Nick's now shown up needing my help to track down a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers...which I guess means the fireball plan is out. But I am determined to ignore the ever-increasing attraction between the two of us and remind him that this witch's kiss is off-limits...or is it?

'Electric Wizard is heavy, man - we don't sing about love and flowers.' Jus Oborn In 1993, in the market town of Wimborne Minster in Dorset, England, the heaviest band in the world was born. Led by guitarist and singer Jus Oborn, Electric Wizard began as an untameable power trio. They inhaled the iniquity of their lives and vomited it out in colossal waves of doom metal, synthesising the forbidding local landscape, biker culture, video-nasties, black magic rituals and titanic doses of psychedelics. In 1997 they released their revolutionary second album, Come My Fanatics... Then, after triumphant and calamitous tours of the USA and following the release of arguably the heaviest rock album ever recorded, 2000's Dopethrone, Electric Wizard all but imploded, destroyed by the very reality they were fighting against. However, when guitarist Liz Buckingham joined Oborn on guitar for We Live, they drew a magic circle around themselves in a new line-up that went on to explore deeper occult horrors on modern doom classic Witchcult Today onwards. Come My Fanatics is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the subculture the band has absorbed and, in turn, created. From seventies exploitation cinema, through the writers of Weird Tales magazine and a panoply of the marginal and downright sinister, to the band's own live ceremonial happenings - this is Electric Wizard's world. We're just dying in it.

Text and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll explores the interaction between two of the most powerful socio-cultural movements in the post-war years - the literary forces of the Beat Generation and the musical energies of rock and its attendant culture. Simon Warner examines the interweaving strands, seeded by the poet/novelists Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and others in the 1940s and 1950s, and cultivated by most of the major rock figures who emerged after 1960 - Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Bowie, the Clash and Kurt Cobain, to name just a few. This fascinating cultural history delves into a wide range of issues: Was rock culture the natural heir to the activities of the Beats? Were the hippies the Beats of the 1960s? What attitude did the Beat writers have towards musical forms and particularly rock music? How did literary works shape the consciousness of leading rock music-makers and their followers? Why did Beat literature retain its cultural potency with later rock musicians who rejected hippie values? How did rock musicians use the material of Beat literature in their own work? How did Beat figures become embroiled in the process of rock creativity? These questions are addressed through a number of approaches - the influence of drugs, the relevance of politics, the effect of religious and spiritual pursuits, the rise of the counter-culture, the issue of sub-cultures and their construction, and so on. The result is a highly readable history of the innumerable links between two of the most revolutionary artistic movements of the last 60 years.

~ a tasteful tale of murder When the Swedish, vampire, librarian, Professor Goreson is savagely murdered, the future of Fangsters, my academy for delinquent teenagers with fangs, is threatened. Now I have to catch the killer and restore peace to our school quickly, or my blackmailing boss will expose my secret. The biggest complication to me getting anything done is Onyx, a vampire who oversees security and acts as my second-in-command. He wants to get rid of me and is making my life pure hell. To make matters worse, the guy is devastatingly handsome and charismatic in a dark, dangerous, night stalker way. It’s impossible to ignore the growing sexual tension between us. Forced into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a killer, I find myself relying not only on the sly Onyx but also on a werewolf protector named Leroy. The way he snarls at Onyx warms my heart. In this new world where danger lurks around every corner, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to survive and find the murderer. As I dig deeper into the mystery, secrets unravel that threaten to tear everything apart. Will I make it out alive? Will I be able to solve the case before it's too late? And can I keep my secret safe for another day. My name is Rebel Black. I’m the book-nerd witch dragged into the bloody world of the living dead. I'm forced to run an academy for teenage predators in a small Pacific Northwest coastal town called Mystic Keep. No one understands my plight, no one can comprehend the horrors of my life, yet here I am—tasked with providing enlightenment to the darkest creatures this world has ever seen—and solve a few murders on the side.

It is the second book in a six-book series. While it can be read as a standalone, it’s best read after the first book, Fangsters, a novel.
William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his influence on music's counterculture has been less well documented—until now. Examining how one of America's most controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many notable and varied musicians, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll reveals the transformations in music history that can be traced to Burroughs. A heroin addict and a gay man, Burroughs rose to notoriety outside the conventional literary world; his masterpiece, Naked Lunch, was banned on the grounds of obscenity, but its nonlinear structure was just as daring as its content. Casey Rae brings to life Burroughs's parallel rise to fame among daring musicians of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, when it became a rite of passage to hang out with the author or to experiment with his cut-up techniques for producing revolutionary lyrics (as the Beatles and Radiohead did). Whether they tell of him exploring the occult with David Bowie, providing Lou Reed with gritty depictions of street life, or counseling Patti Smith about coping with fame, the stories of Burroughs's backstage impact will transform the way you see America's cultural revolution—and the way you hear its music.
