Download or read book Vampire Nation written by Thomas M. Sipos and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 1999 marks the 10th anniversary of the overthrow and execution of Rumanian strong man Nicolae Ceausescu--the only Communist dictator to be violently overthrown during the 1989-91 fall of East European Communism. Controversy persists to this day as to whether it was a spontaneous revolution or a coup engineered by his own Securitate (secret police). Vampire Nation is set three years before le Déluge, amid the societal degeneration that led to Ceausescu's downfall. The year is 1986. A young American, Henry Willoughby, flies to Communist Rumania on business. While in flight he is inadvertently served vampire blood, sensitizing his eyes and revealing a nation of vampires. And contrary to their darkly romantic image, these vampires are ugly, slothful, paranoid, and vicious. Henry only wants to return home on the next flight, but when he unwittingly espies two classified maps, he has no choice but to run. Soon he is buttonholed by the Countess Anya Amasovich, a deadly Russian beauty who might be an unreconstructed tsarist, or a CIA assassin, or a KGB vampire. She agrees to help him escape Rumania, for a price: she intends to his blood memory of the maps to locate and assassinate Rumanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Pursued by Militia and Securitate vampires, Henry and Anya's quest takes the reader on a surreal tour of Ceausescu's Rumania. From the rubble of historic buildings razed to make way for Ceausescu's Boulevard Of The Victory Of Socialism, through the secret Securitate tunnels beneath the city, past trees painted green to reflect the bounty of Communism and vampire sycophants who insist Ceausescu invented sliced bread, through hospitals where healthy legs are amputated in error, past angry ghosts and beggar ghouls, past playboy First Son Nicu Ceausescu's Presidential Palace blood orgies, to the Snagov Lake tomb of the historic Dracula bordering the lakefront estate of Nicolae Ceausescu himself. Vampire Nation is extensively researched, drawing from both the author's historical readings and his childhood visits to Communist Transylvania, where he still has relatives. The author's short story, "Vampire Nation," was published in Horrors! 365 Scary Stories (Barnes & Noble Books, 1998). That story now serves as prologue to the novel. Vampire Nation, the novel, was a Finalist in the 1998-99 Writer's Foundation/America's Best contest.

Book excerpt: A young American visits Communist Transylvania during the closing years of the Cold War, discovering that Communism is vampirism, and a man is better dead than undead. "Combines political dystopia, horror, espionage thriller, black comedy, even a Boy Meets Girl story...with real substance. Worth a look." -- Prometheus, June 2000 "Reads as if written by Orwell, Stoker, Kafka, and Swift sipping spiked martinis over at King's place. Masterful and distinct." -- Inner Sanctum, March 2001 "A fast-paced satire, dark and bloody, strange, flawed, interesting, 'politically incorrect, ' destined to be ignored by the mainstream media." -- Science Fiction Chronicle, May 2001 "A libertarian perspective inspired by Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan's witticims, and a quirky sense of humor. A welcome relief." -- Nuketown.com, January 2001 "A riveting, unique, superbly written horror novel, very highly recommended for all fans of the vampire genre." -- Internet Bookwatch, May 2001 "A satiric horror fable about life in Communist Romania...with Sipos's own personal (and sometimes ornery) twist." -- Insight, August 7, 2000 "Gruesomely hammers home the real evil of Communism...a brilliantly evocative image and a powerful, original metaphor for Communism." -- American Outlook, Winter 2002 "One part Rambo, one part Blade and one part Catherine Zeta Jones...might make for a very successful video game." -- The Eagle, September 5, 2000 "Sipos mainly adheres to [historical] reality, giving Vampire Nation depth and giving the subgenre of vampire fiction a worthy addition." -- Necropsy, Spring 2001

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There's no book available on the vampire culture today with the range, depth, and diversity of Belanger's Vampires in Their Own Words."—Katherine Ramsland, author of Piercing the Darkness and The Science of Vampires "Belanger gives empathetic access to an emergent new magical-religious community...An important sourcebook for both the scholar and inquiring public."—J. Gordon Melton, Director, Institute for the Study of American Religion, and author of The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead The Code of Silence Has Been Broken For this anthology, vampire Michelle Belanger convinced nearly two dozen real-life vampires to break the code of silence that has kept their fascinating subculture shrouded in secrecy. Sometimes provocative, sometimes surprisingly down-to-earth, these candid firsthand accounts come from both psi vampires who feed on energy and sanguine vampires who drink actual blood. Their true stories shed light on a variety of topics, including awakening to vampirism, the compulsion to feed and feeding practices, donor ethics and etiquette, and vampire traditions and codes of behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immortality Has Met Its Match... Ever since the Ring of Fire, the world's vampires have seen their mortality. They won’t live forever after all — not if the angels who created them decide to snuff them like candles. What do the angels want? What did their command to “restore balance” truly mean? For most, the angels’ decrees mean mass murder and mass turnings … but the humans aren’t sheep, and won’t just lie down and take it forever. As Deacon Maurice tries to maintain order with Reginald by his side, panic consumes the Vampire Nation. The center begins to fall apart and chaos grows like cancer. But as war between vampires and humans threatens, Reginald begins to discover strange new abilities within him: to navigate through blood history like no other vampire before him. To glamour those who can’t be glamoured. And seemingly, to stop time itself. Fear has reached its tipping point. War is close. Reginald might hold the key to the angels’ mystery … but whatever could help him intervene just might be too late.
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.

Download or read book New Vampire Cinema written by Ken Gelder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Vampire Cinema lifts the coffin lid on forty contemporary vampire films, from 1992 to the present day, charting the evolution of a genre that is, rather like its subject, at once exhausted and vibrant, inauthentic and 'original', insubstantial and self-sustaining. Ken Gelder's fascinating study begins by looking at Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula and Fran Rubel Kuzui's Buffy the Vampire Slayer – films that seemed for a moment to take vampire cinema in completely opposite directions. New Vampire Cinema then examines what happened afterwards, across a remarkable range of reiterations of the vampire that take it far beyond its original Transylvanian setting: the suburbs of Sweden (Let the Right One In), the forests of North America (the Twilight films), New York City (Nadja, The Addiction), Mexico (Cronos, From Dusk Till Dawn), Japan (Blood: The Last Vampire,
