Book Description
There's betrayal, and then there's my father handing me over to the vampires he tried to steal from. The same vampires who broke my heart. I spent my life buried in books about magical artifacts. Their powers are shrouded in the mystery I crave to unveil. When my father tells me I can see dozens of them in person, I go for it. Too bad he didn't warn me the collection belongs to Eric, the lead singer of Empusa rock band and the man I never wanted to see again. Dad didn't mention that he tried to steal the copper flower rumored to hold the key to immortality. Or that the four vampire rock stars don't intend to let me go. Ever. Eric, Liam, James, and Gabe are hot as sin, and their music makes my toes curl, but these rock stars aren’t as they appear. They are vampires who go out of their way to make my life a living hell. If only they’d tell me what I’ve done to deserve this treatment. When I learn the painful secret hiding behind their masks, my question is answered. Turns out, they have every right to hate me. A secret society of paranormal rock stars hiding in plain sight? Ridiculous. They're the biggest rock stars in the world. But they're also something else entirely. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and more. They've managed to keep their identities hidden for centuries, but with the label requiring a world tour to promote the release of their latest albums, these paranormal rock stars must learn to keep their secrets safe while being completely exposed on the stage. When the stakes are this high, one misstep could mean disaster for everyone. BEYOND THE VEIL is a fast-paced shared world that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the music scene. Grab Empusa to meet the authors of BEYOND THE VEIL to get sucked into a world of secrets and rock and roll.

The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures
Author: Aaron Mahnke
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1524797987
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A fascinating, beautifully illustrated guide to the monsters that are part of our collective psyche, featuring stories from the Lore podcast—now a streaming television series—including “They Made a Tonic,” “Passed Notes,” and “Unboxed,” as well as rare material. They live in shadows—deep in the forest, late in the night, in the dark recesses of our minds. They’re spoken of in stories and superstitions, relics of an unenlightened age, old wives’ tales, passed down through generations. Yet no matter how wary and jaded we have become, as individuals or as a society, a part of us remains vulnerable to them: werewolves and wendigos, poltergeists and vampires, angry elves and vengeful spirits. In this beautifully illustrated volume, the host of the hit podcast Lore serves as a guide on a fascinating journey through the history of these terrifying creatures, exploring not only the legends but what they tell us about ourselves. Aaron Mahnke invites us to the desolate Pine Barrens of New Jersey, where the notorious winged, red-eyed Jersey Devil dwells. He delves into harrowing accounts of cannibalism—some officially documented, others the stuff of speculation . . . perhaps. He visits the dimly lit rooms where séances take place, the European villages where gremlins make mischief, even Key West, Florida, home of a haunted doll named Robert. In a world of “emotional vampires” and “zombie malls,” the monsters of folklore have become both a part of our language and a part of our collective psyche. Whether these beasts and bogeymen are real or just a reflection of our primal fears, we know, on some level, that not every mystery has been explained and that the unknown still holds the power to strike fear deep in our hearts and souls. As Aaron Mahnke reminds us, sometimes the truth is even scarier than the lore. The World of Lore series includes: MONSTROUS CREATURES • WICKED MORTALS • DREADFUL PLACES
