Book excerpt: A millennia-long war between two immortal races is about to come to an end. Long ago, the Vampire Elite began capturing the immortals called the Amiti, attracted by their unique blood properties. Now most Amiti live in underground cells, forced to serve as vampires’ bloodstock. The few surviving free Amiti, preparing a final strike, have declared the Amiti Queen a traitor. Her execution makes possible the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna, who will inherit her mother’s mystical powers. Working with the Keepers of the Key, Arianna may be able to eliminate the vampires, once and for all, from the face of the earth. The new Queen is the last hope to save her dying race, and she’s ready to fight to the last drop of her blood. But the King of the Vampires has other plans. What neither expects is the passion that erupts between them.

Download or read book The Vampire Film written by Jeffrey Weinstock and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory volume offers an elegant analysis of the enduring appeal of the cinematic vampire. From Georges Méliès' early cinematic experiments to Twilight and Let the Right One In, the history of vampires in cinema can be organised by a handful of governing principles that help make sense of this movie monster's remarkable fecundity. Among these principles are that the cinematic vampire is invariably about sex and the vexed human relationship with technology, and that the vampire is always an overdetermined body condensing what a culture considers other. This volume includes in-depth studies of films including Powell's A Fool There Was, Franco's Vampyros Lesbos, Cronenberg's Rabid, Kümel's Daughters of Darkness, and Merhige's Shadow of the Vampire.

Download or read book Galactic Bloodlust A Sci Fi Novella written by Rick Anthony and published by Rick Anthony. This book was released on with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the far reaches of the galaxy, on the edge of human exploration, there existed an ancient civilization long thought extinct. This civilization, once a powerful and dominating force, was home to a terrifying species that had struck fear into the hearts of those who dared to venture into their territory. They were the vampires, a race of immortal beings who thrived on the life force of their victims and sought to conquer the galaxy in the name of their dark and insatiable hunger. The vampires, with their immense power and cunning, had once been on the brink of achieving their ultimate goal: the complete subjugation of all sentient life in the galaxy. Yet, just as their moment of triumph seemed imminent, their civilization had inexplicably collapsed, leaving behind only the faintest echoes of their once-glorious empire. For centuries, the remnants of the vampire race had been scattered to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, their true nature and history shrouded in myth and legend. In the aftermath of the vampires' fall, the galaxy had been granted a brief reprieve, an opportunity to rebuild and forge new alliances in the face of the common threat that had once loomed over them all. Yet, even as the galaxy's myriad factions and species worked to restore peace and prosperity, there were those who knew that the threat of the vampires had not been truly vanquished, and that the darkness they had once brought upon the stars still lingered, waiting for the moment to strike once more. As the centuries passed and the memory of the vampires began to fade into obscurity, the galaxy's inhabitants grew complacent, believing that the threat of the ancient civilization had been vanquished forever. It was in this time of peace and prosperity that a group of intrepid explorers, driven by a thirst for knowledge and the promise of untold riches, ventured forth into the uncharted reaches of the galaxy, unwittingly setting in motion a chain of events that would awaken the long-dormant vampire threat and plunge the galaxy into chaos once more. The story that follows is one of triumph and tragedy, of heroes and villains, and of the unrelenting struggle between light and darkness. It is a tale of a desperate battle against insurmountable odds, with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance. At its heart, this is a story of courage and determination, of sacrifice and loss, and of the enduring power of hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. As the galaxy teeters on the brink of annihilation, a lone hero will rise to confront the ancient vampire menace, their actions serving as a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. This is the story of their journey, of the challenges they faced and the victories they achieved, and of the legacy they left behind for future generations to follow. In the face of overwhelming darkness, the light of hope will always shine, a beacon of defiance against the forces that seek to destroy it. The battle against the ancient vampire threat may be won, but the struggle for the galaxy's future is far from over. The shadows still lurk on the fringes of the known universe, waiting for the moment to strike and reclaim what they have lost. Yet, even in the face of such adversity, there remains the promise of a new dawn, a future where the galaxy can learn from the mistakes of the past and forge a new destiny free from the specter of the ancient vampire's evil. It is this hope that drives our hero forward, their unwavering determination and courage a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human race.

Download or read book Vampires Today written by Joseph P. Laycock and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, about real vampires and the communities they have formed, explores the modern world of vampirism in all its amazing variety. Long before Dracula, people were fascinated by vampires. The interest has continued in more recent times with Anne Rice's Lestat novels, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the HBO series True Blood, and the immensely popular Twilight. But vampires are not just the stuff of folklore and fiction. Based upon extensive interviews with members of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance and others within vampire communities throughout the United States, this fascinating book looks at the details of real vampire life and the many expressions of vampirism as it now exists. In Vampires Today: The Truth about Modern Vampirism, Joseph Laycock argues that today's vampires are best understood as an identity group, and that vampirism has caused a profound change in how individuals choose to define themselves. As vampires come "out of the coffin," as followers of a "religion" or "lifestyle" or as people biologically distinct from other humans, their confrontation with mainstream society will raise questions, as it does here, about how we define "normal" and what it means to be human.
