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.

This hotly anticipated companion to Woven in Moonlight follows an outcast Condesa, as she braves the jungle to forge an alliance with the lost city of gold.

Banished to the perilous Yanu Jungle, Catalina knows her chances of survival are slim, but that won’t stop her from trying to escape. Her duty is to rule. While running for her life, Catalina is rescued by Manuel, the son of her former general who has spent years searching for allies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Meredith Gentry, P.I. and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Fairie. Now there are those among me who whisper I am more. They fear me even as they protect me. And who can blame them? I’ve awakened the dazzling magic that’s slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can’t figure out why. My aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, is no longer distracted by her usual sadistic hobbies. Her obsession has turned unwaveringly to me. The mission to get me pregnant and beat my cousin Prince Cel to the crown is taking longer than expected. Even though I spend each night with the Queen’s Ravens, my immortal guards, no child has come of our decadent pleasures. But something else is happening. My magic courses through me uncontrollably. And as I lock my half-mortal body with their full-Sidhe blooded ones, the power surges like never before. It all began with the chalice. I dreamed of it, and it appeared, cool and hard, beside me when I awoke. My guards know the ancient relic well—its disappearance ages ago stripped them of their vital powers. But it is here with us now. My touch resonates with its force, and they’re consumed with it, their Sidhe essences lit up by it. But even as they cherish me for this unexpected gift, there are those who loathe me for it. Me, a mongrel, only half fey and part mortal. The Unseelie court has suffered for so long, and there are some who would not have it weakened further by an impure queen. My enemies grow in number every day. But they do not know what I am capable of. Nor, for that matter, do I. . . . In Seduced by Moonlight, Laurell K. Hamilton brings the dark, erotic reign of the immortal fey to a startling new depth. Full of sensuality and the consuming anticipation of latent powers unleashed, this world of gods, shapeshifters, and immortal souls is unveiled in all of its supreme magnificence and its treacherous deceits.

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.
