Book excerpt: Evil is preying. With the highest possible stakes, amidst a horrific and suspenseful race against time, a reluctant psychiatrist fights a demon, a global pandemic risk, and his own troubled past in a fight for his daughter's soul. On a remote boulder on a beach in Costa Rica, an unorthodox family vacation turns into a fight to stop a global pandemic. Emerging from the jungle treetops during a thunderstorm, a vampire bat attacks teenager Taylor. When her mother drowns in the turbulent ocean during the storm, Taylor blames her father, Richard Morgan, when his medical training can't save his ex-wife. The leader of a Costa Rican task force, a transplant from the nearby indigenous Bribri tribe in the Talamancan mountains, is determined to stop the spread of a deadly global pandemic originating from a Bribri demon. She tries to kill Taylor on the spot, but Morgan overcomes the task force and the family escapes home to Salem, Oregon. But Taylor starts to change, and Morgan is conflicted between the science he relies on as a psychiatrist (and his atheist girlfriend) and the religion he abandoned. Linda, who lost her daughter to the pandemic, arrives to convince Morgan the unexplainable is real, and he eventually has no choice but to accept his daughter is possessed by an evil that is transforming her into a vampire. Morgan and Linda take Taylor to the Bribri village in a desperate attempt to get help from the Bribri shaman to perform an exorcism to rid Taylor of the demon. If this last-ditch attempt fails, he knows he'll have to destroy his own daughter to save her soul, and the world. The Lamia is the ultimate battle between good and evil, offered from a master storyteller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Where is Lamia?’ The inquiry is one not infrequently made; for, while most of us can vanish without being missed, some favoured individuals there are whose disappearance at once excites a sense of loss; and Lamia is one of these. The question, I need scarcely say, was put by Veronica; since the Poet maintains a fine irresponsible attitude respecting others as well as about himself, and, however anxious I may be to keep sight of Lamia, I am hardly so simple as to betray my desire. But, responding with sincere alacrity to Veronica’s question, I protested I had not the faintest notion where she was, but would at once go in search of her. -an excerpt

Shocking and raw, Lamia strips back vampire clich�s and exposes a vampire culture fuelled by power, cults and BDSM.

Download or read book The Lamia of Paris written by Peter Telemark and published by Stormshadow Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From age to age, she remains the same. She comes from far, far back in the shadows of history..." The ancient texts reveal that she existed before ever the Phoenicians visited North Africa, before the Romans conquered Tripolitanium. For the past eighteen centuries, she has been seen at widely-spaced intervals - in Spain, in Germany, and in France. Most recently, in 1670, she was apprehended in a decrepit tenement after three infants had gone missing. She was executed at the Burning Court in Paris, revealed as a thing half-woman and half-serpent, a creature called a Lamia, which the ancient Greeks named "The Gullet" - for good reason. But now, sixty years later, she seems to have reappeared in that same building, now a hospital for the poor that is close to shuttering its doors. Because many hospital staffers have already left, medical students have been enlisted to help, among them young Sacha Athenois (who in future would change his name to SETH ATHENOR). He is still an untested medical apprentice but has already fought The Timber-Witch of the Mountain Forest in British America. So, it is unsurprising that he is the second person to suspect that the Lamia has returned. The second person - because the first has mysteriously died. But not before imparting what he knew to Sacha. Now, one by one, patients and workers are vanishing with little trace. The hospital administrators dismiss the disappearances and Sacha realizes he cannot convince them of the ghastly truth. Who would believe him? He can scarcely believe it himself. No, it is up to him alone to try to unmask the night-feeding monster and figure out a way to battle her and not join the others in her gullet...her black and bottomless gullet. But even as he follows the clues and winnows down the suspects, he gradually realizes she has become just as aware of him as he is of her...

Download or read book Grief Isn t Something to Get Over written by Mary C. Lamia and published by American Psychological Association. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. How do we endure grief? Can we simply forget, or "get over it?" This book explains the science behind bereavement, from emotion to the persistence of memory, and shows readers how to understand and adapt to death as a part of life. Responses to loss are typically associated with negative emotions, traumatic memories, or separation distress, but we grieve because we care. This book demonstrates how negative emotional responses experienced in grief often follow experiences with positive emotional memories. Dr. Lamia emphasizes an understanding and acceptance of post-loss emotions. Grief Isn't Something to Get Over aims to expand our understanding of bereavement, placing it in alignment with how emotions work. Using numerous case examples and personal vignettes, this book helps readers recognize the ways in which emotions are connected to memories and influence our experiences of loss.
