Book excerpt: “Murder me once, shame on you. Murder me twice...” Emery Luple hunts monsters, solves crimes, confronts myths, and does it all in style. After being killed in the unforgiving Saudi Arabian desert while hunting a monster that never should have been there, he reincarnates into a new life—and not for the first time. But a string of grisly murders in New York immediately pulls him back into the world of investigation, mythical creatures, and mystery. And strange deaths are not the only things to which Emery is drawn. Caden, the young guy who requests Emery’s help to investigate the crime spree, possesses an affinity for the supernatural… and a secret buried so deep, even he doesn’t know what it is. Unexpected feelings, mutual self-discovery, and another incarnate claiming to be the Monster Hunter soon have Emery questioning all he thought he knew. Can he solve the current crimes before his murderer finds him again?
Download or read book Dracula Incarnate Revised Edition written by Andrew Struthers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History considers there to be four major literature codices left to us. These being the Codex Exoniensis, the Junius (or Caedmon) Manuscript, the Vercelli Book, and also the Nowell Codex. Years of painstaking research into the origins of Count Dracula have revealed to this author that Stoker's Gothic masterpiece is in fact the fifth codex; an encoded retelling of the incredible events of the anguished autumn of 1888. 130 years of seeking Victorian London's Jack the Ripper have proved fruitless... Now as we unearth Stoker's "Testament of Truth" (his novel Dracula), the real identity of the Whitechapel fiend will at last be conclusively revealed.

Download or read book The Postmillennial Vampire written by Susan Chaplin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the idea that while we see the vampire as a hero of romance, or as a member of an oppressed minority struggling to fit in and acquire legal recognition, the vampire has in many ways changed beyond recognition over recent decades due to radically shifting formations of the sacred in contemporary culture. The figure of the vampire has captured the popular imagination to an unprecedented extent since the turn of the millennium. The philosopher René Girard associates the sacred with a communal violence that sacred ritual controls and contains. As traditional formations of the sacred fragment, the vampire comes to embody and enact this ‘sacred violence’ through complex blood bonds that relate the vampire to the human in wholly new ways in the new millennium.

Download or read book Bram Stoker s Dracula written by Carol Margaret Davison and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1997 International Association of the Fantastic in the Arts Best Non-fiction Book In 1897, Archibald Constable & Company published a novel by the unheralded Bram Stoker. That novel, Dracula, has gone on to become perhaps the most influential novel of all time. To commemorate the centennial of that great novel, Carol Margaret Davison has brought together this collection of essays by some of the world’s leading scholars. The essays analyze Stoker’s original novel and celebrate its legacy in popular culture. The continuing presence of Dracula and vampire fiction and films provides proof that, as Davison writes, Dracula is "alive and sucking." "Dracula is a Gothic mandala, a vast design in which multiple reflections of the elements of the genre are configured in elegant sets of symmetries. It is also a sort of lens, bringing focus and compression to diverse Gothic motifs, including not only vampirism but madness, the night, spoiled innocence, disorder in nature, sacrilege, cannibalism, necrophilia, psychic projection, the succubus, the incubus, the ruin, and the tomb. Gathering up and unifying all that came before it, and casting its great shadow over all that came and continues to come after, its influence on twentieth-century Gothic fiction and film is unique and irresistible." from the Preface by Patrick McGrath

Download or read book Who Is Dracula s Father written by Jon Sutherland and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was first published in 1897 – 120 years ago – Irish author Bram Stoker's Dracula was ranked by the Daily Mail above work by Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as Wuthering Heights. Yet it never made Stoker any money. Since 1931's film Nosferatu the Vampire, however, it has never been out of print and is legendary among fans of the dark, macabre and mysterious ... Critic John Sutherland, a Dracula fan since childhood – and author of the literary puzzle classics Is Heathcliff a Murderer? and Can Jane Eyre be Happy? explores the enigmas and puzzles of this towering giant of gothic novels, such as: Who was Dracula's father? Why does the Count come to England? Does the Count actually give Jonathan a 'love bite'? Why does every country we know of have a vampire legend? And finally – how long is it before we're all vampires? The book also includes 'Dracula Digested' by John Crace, author of the Guardian's Digested Reads column.
Download or read book Metamorphoses of the Vampire in Literature and Film written by Erik Butler and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last three hundred years, fictions of the vampire have fed off anxieties about cultural continuity. Though commonly represented as a parasitic aggressor from without, the vampire is in fact a native of Europe, and its "metamorphoses," to quote Baudelaire, a distorted image of social transformation. Because the vampire grows strong whenever and wherever traditions weaken, its representations have multiplied with every political, economic, and technological revolution from the eighteenth century on. Today, in the age of globalization, vampire fictions are more virulent than ever, and the monster enjoys hunting grounds as vast as the international market. Metamorphoses of the Vampire explains why representations of vampirism began in the eighteenth century, flourished in the nineteenth, and came to eclipse nearly all other forms of monstrosity in the early twentieth century. Many of the works by French and German authors discussed here have never been presented to students and scholars in the English-speaking world. While there are many excellent studies that examine Victorian vampires, the undead in cinema, contemporary vampire fictions, and the vampire in folklore, until now no work has attempted to account for the unifying logic that underlies the vampire's many and often apparently contradictory forms. Erik Butler holds a PhD from Yale University and has taught at Emory University and Swarthmore College. His publications include The Bellum Gramaticale and the Rise of European Literature (2010) and a translation with commentary of Regrowth (Vidervuks) by the Soviet Jewish author Der Nister (2011).
