Vampires and werewolves; phantoms and phantasms: looming out of the fog leaps the menacing spectre of the lycanthrope, ghoul or blood-crazed zombie. Intrigued by some of the most sinister, yet at the same time most compelling, legends of western civilization, Gregory L Reece dusts down his stake and crucifix, loads his silver bullets and takes off into the wilds in search of answers and fresh adventures. Rummaging around in crumbling tombs and cobwebbed sarcophagi, his latest quest leads him into the haunted realm of the dead and the undead: of those carnivorous, nocturnal hunters that might perhaps better be left undisturbed. Why, he asks, is our culture obsessed by the eerie and the macabre? Why, despite its horrors, does the 'dark side' of the supernatural - its seances and ghost-hunting, demonic possession and the occult - call to us with such dangerous allure? Whether tracking night-stalking werewolves, chanting black magic mantras with Satanists, or interviewing a funereal modern-day Count Dracula, Reece is determined to uncover the truth. A wry exploration of a secret and secretive subculture, "Creatures of the Night" is at the same time a bold and startling journey into a wraithlike world that has so often seemed to lie beyond the limits of rational comprehension - until now.
The lusty vampire, the sympathetic werewolf, the tragic banshee are just a few of the dark and frightening creatures you'll discover in Banshees, Werewolves, Vampires, and Other Creatures of the Night. Huffington Post Weird News columnist and author Varla Ventura takes readers on a wild ride through the shadowy hills of rural Ireland, the dark German forests, and along abandoned farms and country roads across the world to discover some of the most frightening and freaktacular tales, tidbits, and encounters with all those beasties that go bump in the night. Along with classic pieces from Bram Stoker, Elliot O'Donnell, Sabine BaringGould, William Butler Yeats and many others, Ventura includes: • Famous vampires you may not know • The identity of the author of the first English vampire novel (and his relationship to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein) • Excerpts from the first psychic vampire novel ever written • Stories of 19th century werewolf hunters • Why banshees are the most feared of supernatural creatures
Being raised a Hollywood brat is one thing. Discovering you're a witch is something totally different. Yesterday, Shenandoah Mountains (Shena) Montgomery, daughter of Hollywood A-lister, Twyla Montgomery, was simply mooching around her mother's mansion and hanging out with her adoptive sister, Blue Ridge Mountains (Blue). Then, she spots a centaur in the veggie garden, a siren in the pool, and a yeti playing with a coyote. Suddenly, she and Blue are off to a magical school in Scotland, where they're supposed to discover their own witchcraft or something. Once there, Shena has any number of surprises, including meeting her blood family and finding out that she was switched off soon after birth for an elven changeling, who's also at the school. She also meets a boy with the insane name of Xithromorganatic (or Morgan), who's apparently the son of Apollo and is seriously sparkly. Given that he was raised among the gods, he doesn't seem to be happy unless someone is trying to kill him. But she's not the only one having an odd time. Yesterday, Ines D'ambrisio was working to track down serial killers with her friends in the Outer Banks Irregulars. Granted, as the werewolf reincarnation of Joan of Arc and with a (literally) angelic boyfriend, Noah, she's pretty used to weird, but now she's going to face a true terror . . . Teaching! As if these twists weren't enough to throw them, Shena soon finds herself in with the Wombats, the school's Undecided class, which is filled with a variety of misfits, including a teacher who keeps apparating small blue bunnies. More disturbingly, Ines and Noah discover the bodies of two teachers who disappeared last year, just as Shena, Blue, and Morgan are attacked (at least that makes Morgan happy). Now, they know there's a killer at The Academy--and they're going to have to discover who it is, before they're all his next victims. Witches, Werewolves & Wombats is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Continuing readers will delight in visits from dozens of old friends, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and suspense of this unusual contemporary fantasy with plenty of mythological twists. On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7. *Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms. The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read in any order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.
She knew Werewolves weren't real. Working with one was only the start of her problems. Charlie is afraid. Since her 18th birthday, strange things have been happening around her--like randomly starting fires or turning things to ice. But things are about to get even weirder. When two good looking guys turn up in town both wanting her to help them, Charlie doesn't want anything to do with them. But when of them asks her to help him find something, he gives her an offer she can't refuse. And Charlie discovers more than she could have suspected. Because the man she's helping is a Werewolf--something she knew didn't exist. And the weird things she's been doing? Probably makes her... something else she never believed in--something that's confirmed when she's kidnapped and forced to put on a wedding dress to marry a powerful warlock. She's a witch. But if Charlie thinks avoiding a wedding is the biggest of her problems, she has another thing coming. Many things coming actually. Because she's made the Prince of Hell mad as... well, hell. And, with a bunch of his evil chums, he's coming for her. She'd better hope she masters the whole 'turning things to ice' magic pretty fast. And that the Werewolf can track her down. Because staying in hell is exactly like it sounds. And getting out might just take more than she can give. The Queen of Witches is the second book in the Urban/Paranormal Wheel of Crowns series by Brandi Elledge.
