Book Description
After a long and bloody battle, legendary vampire hunter Captain Kronos finally killed the vampire porphyr and his undead horde in an un-named forest somewhere deep inside Eastern Europe. However, before he and his two companions – assistant, and font of all vampire knowledge Professor Grost, and Carla, vampire hunter in training – could celebrate their victory they were approached by the militia of a neighboring town called Serechurch and asked for help in dealing with a vampire infestation. There in Serechurch they met with Ermine, the town’s Alderman, and learned that a new vampire menace by the name of Slake had taken over the poor quarter of the town and had begun gathering together an army of vampires, an army unlike anything ever seen before and one which Porphyr had clearly intended to join.

Book Description
While the pimps and players of blaxploitation movies dominated inner-city theaters, good old boys with muscle under their hoods and moonshine in their trunks roared onto drive-in screens throughout rural America. The popularity of these "hick flicks" grew throughout the '70s, and they attained mass acceptance with the 1977 release of Smokey and the Bandit. It marked the heyday of these regional favorites, but within a few short years, changing economic realities within the movie business and the collapse of the drive-in market would effectively spell the end of the so-called hixploitation genre. This comprehensive study of the hixploitation genre is the first of its kind. Chapters are divided into three major topics. Part One deals with "good ol' boys," from redneck sheriffs, to moonshiners, to honky-tonk heroes and beyond. Part Two explores road movies, featuring back-road racers, truckers and everything in between. Part Three, "In the Woods," covers movies about all manner of beasts--some of them human--populating the swamps and woodlands of rural America. Film stills are included, and an afterword examines both the decline and metamorphosis of the genre. A filmography, bibliography and index accompany the text.

Book Description
“The day shall come when all will whisper to me of their absence… and with cause, for I am the last man on Earth.” Wind rattles down empty streets, dust gathers where people used to. The world has ended. The world as we know it, at least. The insects came. They won. Picking through the rubble are the last remnants of what was once a master race… Some humans are still alive. A few. Not many, and to call what they do “living” is being generous. Thrown together by circumstances beyond their control, they have to make the best of what is left to them. They have to survive…
