Book Description
An ancient vampire, beautiful beyond words, a vulnerable young man drawn to her by a power beyond his understanding, two desperate parents searching across the world for the son they love -- these are the riveting, unexpected elements of Whitley Strieber's extraordinary new novel. Lilith, the ages-old mother of the dying race of vampires, has been forced to come out of her cave deep in the Egyptian desert in search of food -- human blood. But she knows nothing about the modern world. She can't drive a car, rent a room, turn on a TV. She struggles to New York, penniless, vulnerable, and starving, protected only by her beauty and her power to capture men with desire...especially certain very special men. The instant she sees young Ian Ward, she knows that he is part vampire himself. She knows that Ian, if he ever tastes human blood, will belong to her forever. And she needs him desperately, to help her survive and live in this harsh new world of jets and credit cards and guns. She sets out on a campaign of seduction -- as sensuous as it is terrifying -- to touch human blood to Ian's lips, which will then become for him a drug a thousand times more addictive than heroin. Ian's father, Paul Ward, part vampire turned expert and obsessive hunter of vampires, knows that if the blood transforms Ian, Paul will have to kill his own son. The titanic conflict between father and son and seductress, hunter and hunted and huntress, comes to its surprise conclusion in the secret chambers beneath the great pyramids, where the hidden truths of all human history are stored. From its beginning in the dark back alleys of Cairo to its totally unexpected ending, Lilith's Dream draws the reader down seductive new paths of discovery, into places where no novel has ever before. With Lilith's Dream Whitley Strieber has created a vampire so original and a story so new that he has virtually invented a new genre.

Book Description
A dream-filled nightscape like no other, Dream Weaver's Quest: The Labyrinth War by B. Lindstrom is a shockingly sublime, altogether engaging and compelling fantasy novel for young adults. First in a dynamic trilogy, this imaginative epic offers a new twist as to the fine line between what any of us are willing to accept and what we are willing to conquer. For one teen, the realm of slumber is a playground. As a brave Dream Weaver, she is a big part of what the world dreams and what it endures in the way of nightmares, but who we are in our dreams is often vastly different from who we are in real life. While fourteen-year-old Alexandra is asleep, she's a Dream Weaver with special abilities, but when she's awake she's something else entirely. Alex's grandfather warns her that a war is coming in the sleeping realm and that she's destined to become a great leader. Her spirit guide, Randall, further explains that it's up to her to travel to the Botanical Labyrinth to find what's needed to repair the fabric of the dream cloak that protects Lysandra, the guardian of dreams, after Lilith, Empress of Nightmares, damages it. With the help of Sandman, Alex maneuvers the mysterious landscapes of the darkening realm even though Lilith kidnaps her grandfather's waking spirit and holds him suspended between the living and the dead. As the nights grow longer and wearier, Alex will enlist the help of new friends and prove that in any realm-awake or asleep-the greater strength always lies in sharing.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
The women of Torah grew up at a time when gender roles were rigidly defined and girls were considered women at an early age. Still, the Torah hints that young biblical women faced challenges similar to those that teenagers encounter today: first loves, burgeoning identities, developing sexualities, and blossoming spirituality. Building on textual sources, Deborah Bodin Cohen has created a collection of midrashim about the teen years of 10 women in Genesis that will resonate with 21st-century readers. Lilith's Ark melds text, biblical commentaries, and historic details about the ancient world with the experiences of modern girls and women and the author's own imagination. A discussion guide for each story enriches the reading experience. This is a book that will speak across time to the anxieties and aspirations of today's growing girls.

Lilith – The First Eve
Author: Siegmund Hurwitz
Publisher: Daimon
ISBN: 3856309004
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
In a fascinating excursion through the history of her myth, Siegmund Hurwitz presents and interprets the ancient dark-winged goddess Lilith, also known as ’the first Eve.’ The author’s extraordinarily meticulous study of the original sources brings to light a striking figure long lost from our awareness, yet highly relevant to a psychological understanding of today’s evolving masculine and feminine identities. Case material from his analytical practice imbeds Lilith in the everyday problems of contemporary life. That an unbridled life-urge which refuses to be assimilated lies behind depression… seems to me to be a new and important discovery. By combining the experience of a contemporary man with this historical material, Siegmund Hurwitz sheds new light on both. -- From the Foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz
