DOWNLOAD EBOOKA THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKZin, a five-century-old Aztec warrior-turned-vampire, has been waiting for his Eternal Mate's return since the day the evil Lopos murdered her. Zin is a leather-clad, motorcycle riding, bad boy with a passion for guitar-playing, rock music, and life itself. Yet without his mate something will always be missing. When he finally senses her return, he must once again battle the Lopos.only this time he will not fail. Hannah Cordova's life has been splashed across the tabloids by a useless coward of a man. The betrayal sends her fleeing from relationships, from touring to promote her latest album, and from thousands of prying eyes. On her way to Cabo San Lucas, she's lured into a mysterious resort in a small Mexican town, which could mean excitement.or soul-ripping fear and danger. It could also mean the stirring of an ancient power-and an ancient passion-Hannah never knew she could claim for her own.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDrawing from social theory and the anthropology of religion, this book explores popular media's fascination with dreams, vampires, demons, ghosts and spirits. Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts does so in the light of contemporary animist studies of societies in which other-than-human persons are not merely a source of entertainment, but a lived social reality. Films and television programs explored include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Truly Madly Deeply and the films of Hitchcock. Louise Child draws attention to how they both depict and challenge ideas and practices rooted in psychology, while quality television has also facilitated a wave of programming that can explore the interaction of characters in complex social worlds over time. In addition to drawing on theories of film from Freudian psychology and feminist theory, Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts uses approaches derived from a combination of Jungian film studies and anthropology that offer fresh insights for exploring film and television. This book draws attention to explicit and subtle ways in which cinematic narratives engage with myth and religion while at the same time exploring collective dimensions to social and personal life. It advances new developments in genre studies and gender as well as contributing to the growing field of implicit religion using in-depth analyses of communicative dreaming, the shadow, and mystical lovers in film and television.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBook 2 of 'The Stewards of Light' series, and sequel to 'My Science Teacher is a Wizard.' Blake Drywater and his fellow unfortunate students at Millard Fillmore Middle School once more find themselves facing an unexpected creature in one of their classes. Because of a sudden 'neck disorder' suffered by their math teacher, Blake and his classmates receive a chilling substitute. His name is Mr. Coagulate, who has a strange fascination with blood and dreams. Meanwhile Blake's former science teacher, Mr. Marlin, uses his wizard skills to annoyingly turn himself into objects in Blake's classroom--objects that talk to Blake, but which no one else can hear. Mr. Marlin warns Blake that his substitute math teacher is actually a vampire, determined to enslave Blake and use him as an unwilling warrior in the battlefield of vampire nightmares. And in spite of Blake's best efforts to stay out of such a horrible place, he unwillingly finds himself in the midst of the vampire battle one night, where he learns that nothing ever works out the way it should.
