Film, television and Broadway star Adrienne Barbeau and New York Times bestselling author Michael Scott have teamed up to deliver this sexy, scary, and deliciously clever novel full of Hollywood glamour, behind-the-scenes secrets, and the truly bloodthirsty reality of Tinseltown. So grab some popcorn and some holy water and lose yourself in the high-stakes, back-stabbing world of the Vampyres of Hollywood. Hollywood, California: Three gruesome deaths within two weeks and every one of them a major star - an Oscar winner, an ingénue, and an action hero. A serial killer is working through the Hollywood A-list and celebrities are running scared. Each crime scene is worthy of a classic horror movie, and all three victims share a connection to the powerful scream queen, Ovsanna Moore. The stunning and formidable Moore is the legendary head of a Hollywood studio, as well as the writer and star of seventeen blockbuster horror films (and a few that went straight to DVD). She's also a 500 year old vampyre... but this is Hollywood after all, and no one ever looks their age. Beverly Hills Police Detective Peter King knows a lot about the City of Angels, but he certainly doesn't know that most of the famous actors in town are actually an established network of vampires. Or that secretive and seductive Ovsanna Moore happens to be their CEO. Moore and King may be from opposite sides of the Hollywood Hills, but both have something to gain by stopping the killer who the tabloids have dubbed the Cinema Slayer. Ovsanna must protect her vampire legacy and her production schedule, while King just wants to keep his Beverly Hills beat as blood-free as possible. But when the horror queen and the cop with the movie star looks form an unholy alliance, sparks fly and so do the creatures of the night.
Prior to his death, legendary vampire hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, began the establishment of three unique academies to train vampire hunters. He never lived to see them completed. With his dying breath, Van Helsing uttered a prophecy that stated that one day a student would arise from one of the academies and this student would be the greatest vampire hunter of them all. To date, that prophecy has yet to be fulfilled. Ethan, a small, timid, and clumsy orphan, is seen by many of his instructors as the worst student ever to be trained by any of the academies. Few expect him live long enough to graduate let alone enter the trade. This all changes when he is the sole survivor of a group of vampire hunters that are ambushed by a vampire prince and his nest. The fact that the youth manages to survive the massacre is nothing short of a miracle. Alan Spangler is the head physician of the Van Helsing academy located at Lexington, Kentucky. After he and a group of physicians interview and observe the youth, he becomes convinced that the youth is the prophetic Chosen One and begins an investigation into the youth's background. As his investigation expands, Alan finds that there is more to the youth than meets the eye. Before the doctor can test his theory, Ethan and dozens of other hunters are sent on a suicide mission to destroy a vampire prince and his nest.
"Worlds collide when a broke cowboy and a glamorous big city reporter fall lipstick over boot heels in love. But she carries a 2,000-year old secret in her veins that will test their unusual romance. Saddle up for a hilarious, existential gallop through the dying west with an army of ancient bloodsuckers in hot pursuit" -- Back cover.
Steele is a tough, streetwise old vampire who sings in a glam rock band, and he is fiercely loyal to his immortal friends, who are both powerful and playful, loyal and loving, tender and treacherous. The vampires of Hollywood are, at their hearts, human--people who've found a city they can call home, away from the madness and prejudice that plagued them throughout the centuries...a place where they can be happy and finally enjoy their long lives. When the Crimson Order comes knocking with an army of revenants and werewolves, looking to restart old battles, there is absolute and utter hell to pay. No quarter will be given--this unholy war is for keeps. Unholy War: The Gathering Storm isn't about what you lose when you become a vampire...it's about everything you gain, and why that's worth fighting for.
A fully updated edition of David J. Skal's Hollywood Gothic, "The ultimate book on Dracula" (Newsweek). The primal image of the black-caped vampire Dracula has become an indelible fixture of the modern imagination. It's recognition factor rivals, in its own perverse way, the familiarity of Santa Claus. Most of us can recite without prompting the salient characteristics of the vampire: sleeping by day in its coffin, rising at dusk to feed on the blood of the living; the ability to shapeshift into a bat, wolf, or mist; a mortal vulnerability to a wooden stake through the heart or a shaft of sunlight. In this critically acclaimed excursion through the life of a cultural icon, David J. Skal maps out the archetypal vampire's relentless trajectory from Victorian literary oddity to movie idol to cultural commodity, digging through the populist veneer to reveal what the prince of darkness says about us all. includes black-and-white Illustrations throughout, plus a new Introduction.

For decades, Screen World has been the film professional's, as well as the film buff's, favorite and indispensable annual screen resource, full of all the necessary statistics and facts. Now Screen World editor Barry Monush has compiled another comprehensive work for every film lover's library.

Each listing includes: a brief biography, photos from the famed Screen World archives, with many rare shots; vital statistics; a comprehensive filmography; and an informed, entertaining assessment of each actor's contributions good or bad! In addition to every major player, Monush includes the legions of unjustly neglected troupers of yesteryear. The result is a rarity: an invaluable reference tool that's as much fun to read as a scandal sheet. It pulsates with all the scandal, glamour, oddity and glory that was the lifeblood of its subjects. Contains over 1,000 photos!
Since the publication of Dracula in 1897, Bram Stoker's original creation has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and filmmakers. From Universal's early black-and-white films and Hammer's Technicolor representations that followed, iterations of Dracula have been cemented in mainstream cinema. This anthology investigates and explores the far larger body of work coming from sources beyond mainstream cinema reinventing Dracula. Draculas, Vampires and Other Undead Forms assembles provocative essays that examine Dracula films and their movement across borders of nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and genre since the 1920s. The essays analyze the complexity Dracula embodies outside the conventional landscape of films with which the vampire is typically associated. Focusing on Dracula and Dracula-type characters in film, anime, and literature from predominantly non-Anglo markets, this anthology offers unique perspectives that seek to ground depictions and experiences of Dracula within a larger political, historical, and cultural framework.
