Book Description
A modern, nonviolent vampire fears his twin sister’s traditional, gruesome habits will expose them in this dark thriller. Hybrid vampires Daniel and Diana feel technology’s cold, uncountable tendrils hunting them. Daniel scientifically satisfies his needs. Diana, his twin sister, hunts in the old-school way, leaving patches of greasy, scorched earth or mutilated bodies for her brother to take care of. Daniel created Matrix, a face pack for beauty shops, which pulls blood through skin, leaves blissful clients, kills and alerts no one. He prefers milking to butchering. Daniel cultivates his human side; Diana mocks him. Impatient, she hunts out of spite as much as need. Daniel finally understands that his twin sister will get him killed, and his life’s hardest decision is at hand: To milk? Or to butcher? Praise for Brother Blood Sister Death “A novel of vampire seduction, murder intrigue, and blood. Accomplished poet and novelist Bill Ransom uses humor in especially delicious ways.” —Brian Herbert, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Dune: House Atreides “A classic vampire novel rife with secrets…but it’s no secret that I loved it! Complicated relationships and unexpected twists and turns mix with good old-fashioned vampire violence for a great read. More, Bill Ransom!” —Nancy Holder, New York Times–bestselling author of The Wicked Saga “A highly entertaining, riveting story about twin adult vampires. . . . Couldn’t put this one down—definitely worth a bite.” —Anna Quin, author of The Night Child

Of Death and Birth
Author: Barbara Schuler
Publisher: Otto Harrassowitz Verlag
ISBN: 9783447058445
Category : Folk religion
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Scholars of popular Hindu religion in India have always been fascinated by oral texts and rituals, but surprisingly only few attempts have as yet been made to analyse the relationship between rituals and texts systematically. This book contributes to the filling of this gap. Focusing on the dynamics of a local (non-Brahmanical) ritual, its modular organisation and inner logic, the interaction between narrative text and ritual, and the significance of the local versus translocal nature of the text in the ritual context, the study provides a broad range of issues for comparison. It demonstrates that examining texts in their context helps to understand better the complexity of religious traditions and the way in which ritual and text are programmatically employed. The author offers a vivid description of a hitherto unnoticed ritual system, along with the first translation of a text called the Icakkiyamman-Katai (IK). Composed in the Tamil language, the IK represents a substantially longer and embellished form of a core versio which probably goes as far back as the seventh century C.E. Unlike the classical source, this text has been incorporated into a living tradition, and is being constantly refashioned. A range of text versions have been encapsulated in the form of a conspectus, which will shed light on the text's variability or fixity and will add to our knowledge of bardic creativity. Includes a film by the author on DVD.
