Book excerpt: I thought I would be the one shining a light into the darkness. Now I'm prey to forces I can't even see. My name is Stacey, and I've stumbled into a world that's both terrifying and seductive. It was my first day at a new job in Chicago, a city pulsing with unknown dangers and hidden thrills. Little did I know, it was also a crypt where vampires lurk in the shadows, and I was about to stumble into their world. The night I got the job, Tamara and I celebrated at Howl at the Moon, the hipster heart of Chicago's nightlife. It was there, amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, that I first felt the magnetic pull of the night. A pull that would lead me down a path of irresistible temptation and unearthly desires. In a back alley, under the cover of darkness, I encountered him. His touch was unlike anything I had ever felt, his strength unparalleled. And then he whispered in my ear, asking if I liked to be bitten. "Yes." No hesitation. My pulse raced as his body pressed up against mine. I knew I had crossed into a world where I was no longer just prey, but a participant in a dance as old as time. In this new world of vampires, I found myself both terrified and exhilarated, caught in a whirlwind of passion and danger, where every encounter could be as deadly as it was enthralling. Here there be monsters.

Download or read book Blood in the Moonlight written by Mark E. Wildermuth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Director and screenwriter Michael Mann is the creative force behind such movies as Last of the Mohicans and Ali. Markedly reticent, Mann prefers that his personal background remain an enigma, but his disparate films contain clear and consistent messages. One of Mann's focuses is on the Information Age. He addresses the nature of modern communication, its use to manipulate and coerce, and the resultant subjugation of truth. The perils inherent in modern technology and communication stand in stark contrast to the power of symbolic and oral exchange, the trusted medium of Mann's protagonists. This critical exploration of the films of Michael Mann examines his recurring focus on the nature of modern communication and information and their effect on the individual and society. Mann's films highlight the struggle to maintain a connection to reality in a world where information is a commodity manipulated and abused by forces that exert increasing control over its content and dissemination. Each chapter examines one of Mann's films--including Manhunter, The Keep, Last of the Mohicans, The Insider and Ali--in which the protagonist longs for a sense of human connection but is pitted against forces that devalue and destroy individuality. Photographs illustrate specific moments from the films. A bibliography and an index are included.

A soldier desperate to prove himself. A kingdom on the brink of war. With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a proper lady—which is perfectly fine with her. Deemed unfit for a suitable marriage, Sage is apprenticed to a matchmaker and tasked with wrangling other young ladies to be married off for political alliances. She spies on the girls—and on the soldiers escorting them. As the girls' military escort senses a political uprising, Sage is recruited by a handsome soldier to infiltrate the enemy ranks.
