Strange Blood: 71 Essays on Offbeat and Underrated Vampire Movies

About Strange Blood: 71 Essays on Offbeat and Underrated Vampire Movies:

This is an overview of the most offbeat and underrated vampire movies spanning nine decades and 23 countries.

Strange Blood encompasses well-known hits as well as obscurities that differ from your standard fang fare by turning genre conventions on their head. Here, vampires come in the form of cars, pets, aliens, mechanical objects, gorillas, or floating heads. And when they do look like a demonic monster or an aristocratic Count or Countess, they break the mold in terms of imagery, style, or setting. Leading horror writers, filmmakers, actors, distributors, academics, and programmers present their favorite vampire films through in-depth essays, providing background information, analysis, and trivia regarding the various films. Some of these stories are hilarious, some are terrifying, some are touching, and some are just plain weird. Not all of these movies line up with the critical consensus, yet they have one thing in common: they are unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the world of vampires.

Just when you thought that the children of the night had become a tired trope, it turns out they have quite a diverse inventory after all.

SAME OLD, SAME OLD: A Short and Strange Story

About SAME OLD, SAME OLD: A Short and Strange Story:

WARNING: This work of fiction contains harsh language, blood, scenes of violence and peril.

EVER GET TIRED OF BEING FED THE SAME OLD LIE?

We all dream of home at the end of a long day. The comfort of our armchair, our spot on the couch, our side of the bed. These are the things we long for after our daily routine is finally done.

Terry is tired of his routine.

The local children’s center has resorted to begging for handouts, and Terry has become, through no fault of his own, the face of their cause. Everyone who sees his face around the neighborhood knows what he’s after. Once where his work brought him pride, mentoring kids unsure about their future, he now only feels shame. He just wants to get this over with and get back to his own life.

Terry has one last stop: Shady Oaks Apartment Complex. Just in and out, and he can go back to doing his homework, calling his girlfriend, and generally forgetting that this is his job.

Until Terry stumbles onto the scene of a struggle. Possibly the fresh trail of a killer. Maybe even the den of a monster. And a regimen far older than his own, with perhaps the sole purpose of destroying the human race…

From the mind of author B. Sides, SAME OLD, SAME OLD is a tale of terror, a rumination on both mortality and morality, and an eldritch omen of an uncertain future. For fans of weird fiction, Lovecraftian horror, and anyone who unwinds from the daily grind with a good story.

Point Lookout: Where Evil Crosses Over by Adamo Cultraro

About Point Lookout: Where Evil Crosses Over by Adamo Cultraro

When eighty year old Mrs. Tadwell is not only found dead but brutally disemboweled, Sheriff Julius Barnes finds himself with the biggest case in the history of tiny Point Lookout. Sure, Barnes had bitched about not having enough to do over the years, but after the town pastor rapes Tadwell’s corpse instead of embalming her, and then hangs himself, Barnes realizes he has something greater than a crime problem on his hands, with all signs pointing to a supernatural malevolence at work.

As Sheriff Barnes decides to swallow his pride and reach out to the FBI for help, people start missing, others have bizarre visions, and more bodies turn up. When the FBI finally does arrive, it sends a disinterested slacker who is short on time and even shorter on answers, forcing Barnes to look to more unconventional sources for some knowledge as to what is afoot in town. This help comes from the most unlikely place: Benjamin Olivera, Barnes’ across the street neighbor, who is supposed to be a retired master machinist, apparently holds a dark secret that he has revealed to no one for the past forty years – he is a former Jesuit priest who abandoned his vows.

Seeing a pattern within the deaths and strange occurrences, Olivera comes to the inescapable conclusion that the devil himself has specifically chosen the town due to its isolation to bring forth the child who will become the Antichrist. As a pervasive evil invades and dominates the town, Barnes and his deputy dig deep to defend their town, battling the very legions of hell.

Owl Manor – the Dawning

About Owl Manor – the Dawning:

Sometimes the tide sweeps us into a fog where dark forces are at work…
All of a sudden evil and good become blurred…

Stifled by the oppression of women in the 1800s, trapped in a loveless marriage, Eva lives a life of dissatisfaction and frustration. The tide sweeps her to the Rocky Mountains during the gold rush in 1859, where she finds unexpected hope at Owl Manor, a strange, dark place with owls in the very fabric of its walls.

But the stakes are perilous. Shadows wander the dim corridors. The owner of the manor is moody, volatile, and enticing.

Owl Manor – the Dawning, the first standalone book in a trilogy of Gothic Suspense novels, is inspired by authors such as Daphne du Maurier (Jamaica Inn), Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Marina, Shadow of the Wind), Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House).

Filled with Poe-esque atmosphere, dark desires and supernatural elements, this book is a must read for fans of Gothic Suspense.

Witching Hour Wicked Elements

About Witching Hour Wicked Elements:

There are times when the forces unseen are far more wicked than what’s in front of you…

The elements are a fundamental belief humans have relied on for thousands of years. In Japanese culture, there are five; Earth (Chi), Water (Mizu), Fire (Ka), Wind (Kaze), and Void (Gai). Each of these has a driving force behind them, and here they have taken a dark turn.

With Chi, madness comes in all shapes and sizes in his garden made from the bones of the enemies of Earth.

Mizu takes a plunge through her victim’s mental health as a series of bizarre encounters escalate to the point where questions of reality and sanity end with deadly consequences.

Ka gives a Lovecraftian tale of one woman’s fight to save the Old Gods from the humans who seek to stop the return of Cthugha.

The Air from Kaze has the world ending and the Aurora Borealis chasing the last of humanity, turning them into monsters.

Last but not least, Gai’s Void takes a single man through the vast nothingness only to find his journey is not as it seemed. The light in the darkness is far from the comfort he’d been seeking.

Welcome to the Witching Hour as we celebrate Women in Horror and their dark tales of wicked elements…

The Sorrows is a place of monsters and mayhem.

22-year-old Maddie Monroe thinks she is doomed to a meaningless life. She works a dead-end job at an all-night diner and dreams of the day her boyfriend whisks her away from it all. When she saves a scarred stranger from a pack of drunk locals, she has no idea it will end with her stuck in a strange world on a quest to find someone who can send her back home.

Now she must rely on the odd group of outcasts she’s fallen in with to keep her alive while she’s in the Sorrows: The scarred stranger who used to be the Prince’s advisor, the thought form who shouldn’t exist, the elk who talks because of a head injury, and the angel who’s more suited for a padded cell than a battlefield. They are all that stand between her and the evil King whose reach stretches to all corners of the Realms.

Can Maddie stay one step ahead of the Thorn King and find a way home or will she succumb to the madness of the Sorrows?
