Book Description
To save her people, she needs his blood. A deadly sickness has been picking off the dwarven race one by one, and now that they are on the brink of extinction, Kirsa Frey must take desperate action. Even if it means risking her life and those of her people by trapping a vampire to use his immortal blood. Luca Dragomir is plagued with the loss of many loved ones—friends, family, and even the woman he cared for. Unable to stand the daily reminder of his grief, he gives up his birthright, wanting nothing to do with the vampires he called family. When he leaves the only life he’s ever known, he is cornered and captured by a beautiful dwarf and taken back to her settlement. He soon realizes there might be another way to save her people. And he is the only person who can do it. But time is running out, and if he doesn’t succeed, he is in danger of losing the one person he comes to love more than anything.

Book Description
The adventure continues - Brenner is not a werewolf... He is the result of a secret US Army experiment. The creation of a government controlled Super Soldier. And no one asked if he wanted to take part. So, he escaped. And for the last fifty years has been living in the backroads and the small unknown towns of America. Never aging. Searching for a cure. At the same time avoiding the dark ops experts who are looking for him. But just because he can become a seven foot, four hundred pound killing machine, it doesn't mean that Brenner is bad. In fact, he sticks to a strict code. And like the High Plains drifters of old, anyone who crosses the Wolfman's code is sure to suffer. They took his humanity ... and now it's time for payback. Author's note ... "I was looking to create a character that brought to mind the high plains drifters of old. A western hero that rode into town on a dark horse, delivered justice and retribution in equal measure and then rode off into the sunset. A modern-day gunslinger with a dark secret. I hope that I did the premise justice." Praise for Craig Zerf ... "This is an exciting story written by a master...can't wait to read more by this author! What if this story really happened! Wow." "This book is sheer Perfection! It has everything. Brenner's story makes you sad then happy, scared and anxious then shouting and cheering. One moment you are crying and the next you can't stop laughing. Craig Zerf is definitely now on my list of favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!" "Violent and exciting. The characters make no excuses, they are monsters and violence is their trade. Despite this the main character is likeable and interesting. This book is a fast, fun read, and I am looking forward to more from the author." "Mr. Zerf, I must compliment you on each and every one of the stories in this series! Words like exceptional, outstanding, gripping, unrelenting, engaging and yes enthralling simply are NOT enough to do these stories justice." Scroll up and buy now ... or get it on KU for FREE! Project Bloodborn is a Shapeshifter, Werewolf novel. It should be popular for all those searching for Urban Fantasy, Vampires, Ghosts, Magic and Psychics.

Book Description
In the vein of their cult-classic dark fantasy titles Demon's Souls (2009) and the Dark Souls franchise (2011, 2014, 2016), game developers FromSoftware released the bleak Gothic horror Bloodborne in 2015. Players are cast in the role of hunters in a hostile land, probing the shadowy city of Yharnam in search of "paleblood." The game achieved iconic status as both a horror and an action title for its rich lore and for the continuity of story elements through all aspects of game design. This first full-length study examines Bloodborne's themes of dangerous knowledge and fatal pride and its aesthetics in the context of other works on game studies, horror and the Gothic. The book's three parts focus on lore and narrative, the game's nightmarish world, and its mechanics.

Book Description
Meet the good-hearted folks of High Meadow as they struggle through sickness, raiders, wildfires and food shortages in an effort to establish a sustainable community in a world brutally changed. Book 1 - Lethal Seasons - In the near future, a virus has whittled down the human race. Cities are empty, farms deserted, factories abandoned. The world is running on a skeleton crew in a land ravaged by extreme weather. Nick lives at High Meadow med center. The people there stay hopeful as they work toward self-sufficiency. He counts survivors for Angus's research. He wants his life to stay as normal as possible in a world he barely understands. Wisp is a fugitive biobot. He lives off the land, moving from town to town, hiding his extrasensory skills. Silence and subterfuge keep him alive. Lily is a young girl with long brown hair and eyes the color of ripe cherries. She is searching for her brother. She is part of something that started before her birth. When these three lives intersect, a chain reaction of death and violence will change the course of the future and impact the very survival of the human race. Book 2 - Scattered Seeds - As High Meadow deals with troublemakers, Wisp sets out to rescue Nick. In the search for answers, Nick discovers the country's infrastructure is teetering on the brink of collapse. Angus predicts that the high mortality rate from flu could cause disruptions causing people to flee. Tillie scrambles to plan for winter without train food. They once more have to learn how to live in a changed world. Book 3 - Gleanings - As starving people overrun High Meadow, Tillie and Angus must do a delicate dance to keep the doors open. Angus has set the new boundaries. Martin works to keep it safe. Tillie struggles to get everyone fed while keeping an eye on the stores for winter. Within the flood of people, not all are who they seem to be. The people of High Meadow need to prepare for war or lose what they cherish most. Book 4 - Lessons Learned - The president arrives at High Meadow with his entourage of bureaucrats and faux-military. Tillie and Angus don't have time for any distractions as a massive wildfire bears down on their settlement. At a time when they most need to work together, the outsiders are creating divisiveness. It will take more than hard work and good intentions to get them through this catastrophe. Book 5 - Desperate Measures - The stability of the Survivor's Alliance is still fragile. They made it through the winter, but now it's flu season. Tillie and Angus try to prepare for every scenario, even the possibility that they will be the first to go. Nick works to bridge the gap until the spring crops come in. But there are changes coming that no one expected.
