The Sacrifice Coven Series Book 3: Vampire Gaze There was no part of Ethan that wanted to murder anyone; but he'd done it before. The last human he had killed had been decades ago, in another lifetime. Those last moments of life, when the lungs release their last gust of air and the eyes suddenly turn into glossy, vacant orbs in the face haunted him decades later. It was why they made guns; so you didn't have to do what needed to be done to an enemy - but he wouldn't have that option now. Taking the blade, he felt it cut his skin. All around him, a feeling like being soaked into heat poured into his skin; magic was at work, and maybe it had been for some time. When he felt the cutting, he knew it turn it around - this beast couldn't be controlled, might harm those he loved. Pushing it in, he felt the blood pour onto his hands, and death seep into the face so close to his own.

Download or read book The Vampyre and Ernestus Berchtold or The Modern Oedipus written by John William Polidori and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2007-09-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1816, John William Polidori travelled to Geneva as Lord Byron’s personal physician. There they met Mary Godwin (later Shelley) and her lover Percy Shelley and decided to while away a wet summer by writing ghost stories. The only two to complete their stories were Mary Shelley, who published Frankenstein in 1818, and Polidori, whose The Vampyre and Ernestus Berchtold were both published in 1819. The Vampyre, based on a discarded idea of Byron’s, is the first portrayal of the alluring vampire figure familiar to readers of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice. Ernestus Berchtold scandalously draws on the rumours of Byron’s affair with his half-sister for a Faustian updating of the myth of Oedipus, which it combines with an account of the struggle of Swiss patriots against the Napoleonic invasion. Along with Polidori’s work, this edition also includes stories read and written by the travellers in the Genevan summer of 1816 and contemporary responses to The Vampyre and Ernestus Berchtold.
