Book Description
This is a powerful fictional retelling of the life of the great film-maker F.W. Murnau. Murnau was a master of the silent cinema and one of his most enduring works is Nosferatu - the first vampire film and one whose images still haunt our consciousness. Like Nosferatu, Murnau was cold and impenetrable, a man whose great needs drained all those who came into contact with him. But underneath this exterior lay a wound caused by his betrayal of the great love of his life, a betrayal which resulted in the death of his lover in the trenches of World War I. It is only in the South Seas during the shooting of Tabu that his heart's anguish is finally assuaged.

Book Description
Werner Herzog's Nosferatu – Phantom der Nacht (1979) is one of the masterpieces of the New German Cinema of the 1960s and 70s. Adapted from Bram Stoker's Dracula, and mindful too of F. W. Murnau's earlier German film version of that same novel, Herzog's film is perhaps the most compelling screen treatment of the vampire myth. In this comprehensive account of Nosferatu, S. S. Prawer begins with discussion of Stoker's book, the cultural fascination with vampires, and the formation and evolution of Herzog's career. Taking the production history into account, Prawer ultimately foregrounds the cultural and aesthetic components of the film that combine to such powerful effect. This second edition features a new foreword by Brad Prager and original cover artwork by Matt Brand.

Book Description
I love Count Orlok. Like, a whole, whole lot. And what's not to love? He's a bootleg vampire, a passion project slated for destruction by Stoker's widow, kept alive by people smuggling his tapes to and from. Wretched, ugly, but with a really cool castle, Orlok's design has been integral in the design of all my work. Murnau intended Nosferatu to be a love letter to Dracula, and I like to think my project is a little love letter to Orlok. It's 43 illustrations along with captions from the movie with a weird... modern? Punk? Irreverent? Twist. It's a labor of love, just like Murnau's, what matter if it costs me some pain, or even a little blood?

Book Description
“Arguably Spain’s most significant contemporary literary figure” (Joanna Kavenna, The New Yorker) Gathered for the first time in English, and spanning his entire career, Vampire in Love offers a selection of the Spanish master Enrique Vila-Matas’s finest short stories. An effeminate, hunchbacked barber on the verge of death falls in love with a choirboy. A fledgling writer on barbiturates visits Marguerite Duras’s Paris apartment and watches his dinner companion slip into the abyss. An unsuspecting man receives a mysterious phone call from a lonely ophthalmologist, visits his abandoned villa, and is privy to a secret. The stories in Vampire in Love, selected and brilliantly translated by the renowned translator Margaret Jull Costa, are all told with Vila-Matas’s signature erudition and wit and his provocative questioning of the interrelation of art and life.

Book Description
“Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.” —Carl Hiaasen The undead rise again in Bite Me, the third book in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore’s wonderfully twisted vampire saga. Joining his farcical gems Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, Moore’s latest in continuing story of young, urban, nosferatu style love, is no Twilight—but rather a tsunami of the irresistible outrageousness that has earned him the appellation, “Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination” from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and inspired Denver’s Rocky Mountain News to declare him, “the 21st century’s best satirist.”

Book Description
NOSFERATU THE UNTOLD ORIGIN In the year 1923, Nosferatu graced the silver screen with his shadowy specter. He was a creature of total mystery and no known origin until now. Nosferatu the Untold Origin begins with the 15th century crusader, Count Orlok, who must burn at the stake the powerful witch, Elsa, for her refusal to worship the God of Rome. As Elsa's flesh is consumed by the flames, she finalizes her curse by uttering the word "Nosferatu." Count Orlok is transformed into Nosferatu the Vampyre, a terrifying creature that bares little semblance to anything human. An epic adventure that spans over 400 years awaits Orlok, as he is plunged into the nocturnal world. Illustrated with over 230 full color paintings, this visually exciting graphic novel will change the reader's perception of vampyres.

But when she stumbles upon a secret door in the club, she descends into a dim catacomb—to a hidden hangout where the house drink happens to be type A or B. Drawn to one of its shadowy members, Raven suspects she's in over her head. But exploring the covert club is too tempting, even after coming face-to-face with Alexander's trouble-stirring enemy.
