Pages : 1711
Book Description
All three books of the Blood Tribe Trilogy combined! Blood Tribe: He's dashing. He's sexy. He's deadly. And he'll never let her go. When Vivian Black awakens in a coffin fifty years away from her earliest memories, that is only the beginning of the horror awaiting her. Soon she discovers she is a vampire wanted by a deadly, international cult of the undead‒the Shévet ha Dam, or Blood Tribe. Her pursuer? Joseph Cartaphilus, former doorkeeper to Pontius Pilate and the father of the vampire race. With a new, handsome friend Michael, a young vampire who has vowed to protect her, Vivian flees for her life. But nowhere is far enough for them to escape her past and the Shévet ha Dam. Blood Trials: Maysun, keeper of the world's spiritual balance, has passed her gift to her lover, Eoghan, but she may have acted too soon. If the leader of the malevolent global vampire tribe, the Shévet ha dam, discovers Maysun's child, Sana, he may use her ability to resist the vampire curse to tip the global balance of power in his favor. Sana lives half her life awake and taunted by haunting voices, the other half in a shadowy world scarcely remembered. Unaware that the voices are vampires hiding in plain sight, tracking her every move, Sana believes she teeters on the edge of insanity. Vampire Vivian Black must use her power from the Source to find Sana before the Shévet ha dam. With the help of new friends wielding unusual supernatural gifts, Vivian again finds herself in the global fight to keep the world from becoming overrun by darkness. Blood Treason: Michael and Vivian, undead soulmates fighting against the Blood Tribe, must face their greatest challenge yet. Lukas, Michael's son, has turned to the dark power of the Maleficence, and if the woman seducing him has her way, he may never return to the light. But it's not just Lukas that Michael must worry about. A new curse courses through his veins, one with roots in the Maleficence. His craving for blood is now matched by an appetite for meat. The living kind. It's a battle for the ultimate victory against the Maleficence, and the vampires fighting the Shévet ha Dam have never faced such insurmountable obstacles. Can they save Lukas and overcome Michael's affliction, or will darkness prevail?

Book Description
Roman and Elsbone were veteran animal trappers and hunters. They were warned by the Chalukyas tribesmen that the Devil Dogs were ferocious and did not fear man or any other animal. The hunters were experienced predators and huntsmen and knew that the wild beast that the tribesmen were leery of were just Himalayan tempestuous wolves. The Chalukyas tribesmen disclosed to the hunters that they had seen two Devil Dogs bring down a huge wild boar and tear it apart one evening at the base of the Mahila Mountains. It is known amongst hunters and wildlife individuals that no wild animal/beasts or man want any part of the violent desolate fierce boars; these Devil Dogs were fearsome and vicious. The major deciding factors that finally made the huntsmen want to seek and capture the wolves were these main issues: One, the Los Angeles zoo was offering a large amount of money for two legendary Devil Dogs from India. The second aspect was they heard that a single Devil Dog had fought and killed a Siberian Tiger; this factor increased their inquisitiveness and curiosity of this sensational beast and its folklore. Their egos also played a part in their judgment to capture the animals An element they had to contemplate and had caused them concern was that they were told that the beast only come out after the sun has set. Nightfall, this is an advantageous factor for the nighttime predator. So these beasts were nocturnal hunters; this was not an odd characteristic for any wolf, but still it was a concern for the hunters. All these tidbits of information just enticed Roman and Elsbone even more, and it heightened their hunting and ego desires. The two English veteran hunters were now traveling toward their prey and compensations as they were now heading toward the foothills of the snowcapped Himalayas, the hunting grounds of the Devil Dogs. The huntsmen eventually had left their regular and familiar stomping grounds of South Africa years earlier because of the civil turmoil that continues to cause chaos and havoc with many of the unsettled tribes and conformed city dwellers. The other object and issue was now there are all the new restrictions and hunting laws causing hardship on hunters and trappers, also there were the conservation laws protecting the wild beast limiting them even more. Elsbone and Roman left Africa and went and took their trade to South America. But after some time, they grew tired of the humid atmosphere, the different language, and customs along with the constant damp eerie rain forest. So now they were here in India following the harsh rumors of the ferocious wild Devil Dogs that killed cattle, pigs, and villagers and nowthey also heardeven killed mountain lions. The hunters journey did have some hardships. They needed to travel far through hot rough desolate deserts with very cold nights.

There are numerous publications about the horror genre in film and television, but none that provide information about horror on a legitimate stage until now. This book highlights the most terrifying moments in theater history, from classical plays like Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and Euripides' Medea to the violence of the Grand Guignol company productions in 18th-century France, and present-day productions like Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd, Stephen King's Carrie and dark 21st-century plays by Clive Barker and Conor McPherson. The book compiles the history and behind-the-scenes tales surrounding stage productions about monsters, hauntings and horrors both historical and imagined.

Wells, Henry James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and others, as well as plays starring popular characters like Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Invisible Man, the Phantom of the Opera, and the Woman in Black. More than 500 plays are documented, accompanied by dozens of photographs. Entries include plot synopses, existing production data, and evaluations by critics and scholars.

The SCI'ON Trilogy. Whenever a decision is taken that is of significance to the world. The world divides and two alternate futures are created. In the beginning, there was only one world. That world we name SCI 'ON. All other worlds that sprang from it we name the shadow worlds. Some believe SCI 'ON is the only real world and that all others are mere reflections; hence the name. Others believe that all the alternate worlds are equally real and important, however they may have come into being. Whatever the case; one thing is certain. If SCI 'ON itself - the cradle of creation - were to be destroyed, all other worlds would cease to exist. For SCI 'ON is the mainspring and without it, the shadow worlds would have no point of origin. The Shadow Worlds, Legacies, The Citadel

Now, Naomi thirsts for justice… and revenge. TIGRESS (Book 2): Naomi's immortality is nullified, making her vulnerable to the ones who consider her their conquest. If she wasn't already walking over the hot coals of misfortune she would be obsessed with the next ambush.

TRINITY RISING (Book 3): Damian's mortal world begins to shine when fatherhood hits his horizon, but plans for a bright future disintegrate when Lucifer comes to claim their Trinity child, playing dirty by framing Damian for murder.
