Book excerpt: Lycanthrope Rising: The True Story Behind the Vampire-Werewolf Wars is Book II in The Toronto Vampire Chronicles. Headlines scream Toronto police have arrested Dragul Mangorian, a 'real vampire, ' and that he's the last of a race of vampires awakens a terrifying enemy. The Lycanthrope Clan's blood lust won't be satisfied until it completes the extinction of its mortal enemy, the vampire-like subspecies of humanity, the Homo Sanguinus. The Lycans are a special breed of humans whose mastery of technology, animalistic ferocity and alliance with wolves saved mankind from enslavement by the Homo Sanguinus 30,000 years ago. After learning of the Sanguinus' secret vulnerability, the Lycans used it to vanquish the Blood Eaters and believed them to be extinct. Mangorian's capture in Toronto raises him to celebrity status as the ultimate 'bad boy' in Toronto, a city that celebrates diversity. Mangorian enthusiastically agrees to work with scientists who want to unlock secrets held in his genome. He's 208 years old and is immune to cancer and blood borne pathogens. In exchange, Mangorian wants genetic and fertility support to revive his species. He's ecstatic when he discovers Skyla whose one-in-a-billion First Nations genome makes it possible for her to become the Eve to his kind. The rich and powerful Lycans recruit former playboy Tim Gracey and his stripper girlfriend to lead murderous forces that will stop at nothing to keep Mangorian and Sklya from mating. Lycanthrope Rising is part medical mystery, part horror, part action adventure, part sci-fi, and 100 per cent a fast-paced thriller. Lycanthrope Rising is a banquet of genres, leaping from dark fantasy, to police procedural, across social commentary, into reimagined history, back to the present as a medical/techno drama, Mafia crime story, special forces action adventure, political satire, and, of course, vampire horror. A dog's breakfast? Perhaps, but reviewers of Matsui's previous titles, Late Bite and Gravity Games, say the author is able to meld "all these genres flawlessly." On Late Bite: "What kind of novel is this? Late Bite is a page turner, but it is also a novel that will make you think. I'm not sure how to define this novel in terms of a genre. Thriller with mystery and horror elements? An action/ adventure packed crime novel? Or should we read it as a psychological and paranormal character study?" On Gravity Games: "You know when I mentioned that it was a mash-up? It was. From Foodie Thriller to Government Conspiracies to one hell of an awesome Con Game, all the while having all the trappings of SF, fantastic characters, and really tight plot? The novel not only shifted gears effortlessly, it even made it reasonable."

Download or read book A Thirst for Blood written by Ray Biondi and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “fast-paced” inside story of the manhunt for bloodsucking serial killer Richard Chase (Publishers Weekly). Written by the case’s lead homicide detective, this gripping true crime account details the killing spree of one of California’s most gruesome murderers: Richard Chase, aka “the Vampire of Sacramento.” In January 1978, Sacramento police found the corpse of Teresa Wallin, a loving wife and soon-to-be mother. Veteran detective Lt. Ray Biondi immediately knew the case would be unlike anything he had ever seen before. The victim’s body was deliberately disfigured in nightmarish ways, and evidence suggested the culprit had collected large volumes of her blood. In less than a month, a two-year-old boy was missing, and two men, another woman, and a five-year-old child dead, their bodies contorted, like Wallin’s, to fulfill the killer’s demented sexual desires, and—most disturbingly—his taste for human blood. Previously published as The Dracula Killer, A Thirst for Blood is a riveting report of the investigation, from eyewitness testimonies to the discovery of the crime scenes to Chase’s interrogation. Lieutenant Biondi and his coauthor, Walt Hecox, provide an unflinching look at the “vampire killer” and the cunning police work that finally put an end to his reign of terror. The inspiration for Investigation Discovery’s Lore: Deadly Obsession and episodes of CSI and Criminal Minds, Chase’s crimes continue to haunt the world generations later.

Book excerpt: In 1929, the German city of Dusseldorf was afflicted by a horrifying series of brutal, random and often fatal attacks upon women and young girls. With weapons ranging from knives and hammers to his bare strangling hands, a shadowy predator left a mounting trail of sexual assault, carnage and murder in his wake, fomenting mortal terror amongst the local populace. Police finally arrested Peter Kurten, a convicted felon, in connection with the crimes; his subsequent confessions revealed a staggering career of evil, documented in at least 69 cases of theft, arson, rape, throttling, stabbing, hammering, hacking, mutilation, blood-drinking and corpse immolation spanning some 30 years. THE SADIST, an in-depth forensic and psychiatric report on Kurten by Dr. Karl Berg, was published in 1931 in the "Deutschen Zeitschrift fur die Gesamte Gerichtliche Medizin”, revealing fully for the first time the irreconcilable lusts, compulsions, obsessions, pathologies and atrocities of a remorseless and psychopathic sex-killer – the inhuman monster known as the Vampire of Dusseldorf.
