He looked to the sky, praying for rain, a downpour, some sign from the heavens that he should refuse the abomination contained in that flask. But all he saw was the bloated white face of the moon smiling down on him And the sky around it was cold and clear and black They made their circle of blood. And only the moon witnessed the slaughter that followed. For Jamie Mackie, summer holidays in the coastal town of Rocky Head mean surfing, making money, and good times at the local music festival. But this year, vampires are on the festival's line-up fulfilling a pact made on the wreck of the Batavia, four hundred years ago.

The Global Vampire
Author: Cait Coker

Pages : 252
Book Description
The media vampire has roots throughout the world, far beyond the shores of the usual Dracula-inspired Anglo-American archetypes. Depending on text and context, the vampire is a figure of anxiety and comfort, humor and fear, desire and revulsion. These dichotomies gesture the enduring prevalence of the vampire in mass culture; it can no longer articulate a single feeling or response, bound by time and geography, but is many things to many people. With a global perspective, this collection of essays offers something new and different: a much needed counter-narrative of the vampire's evolution in popular culture. Divided by geography, this text emphasizes the vampiric as a globetrotting citizen du monde rather than an isolated monster.

Australian Book Review Best Books of 2009: Critics' Choices 'Kirsty Eagar's first novel explores dark territory with skill and sensitivity.' The Age 'An emotionally rich and powerful first novel.' Canberra Times 'If you only read one book this year ... it should be Kirsty Eagar's Raw Blue one of those kept-me-up-all-night novels that stays in your bones and sings in your ears long after you've finished it. It wouldn't be out of place next to Tim Winton's Breath, except this is the ocean as healer, not as an object to be conquered, or the site of self-destruction, of risk. The images crackle, the lines are full of the poetry of observation, the story is searing, gutting, beautiful. This should be compulsory reading for all teenagers especially boys.' julialawrinson.livejournal.com 'This is a psychologically intense novel that involves even non-surfing readers in the release Carly feels when conquering the waves we empathise with her in the long battle between desire and fear on the path to self-acceptance.' Magpies 'I read this book feverishly, desperate for a happy ending, and afterwards found it difficult to get Carly and the men who ride into her life out of my mind.'

Reading the Vegetarian Vampire
Author: Sophie Dungan
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031183509
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
This Pivot traces the rise of the so-called “vegetarian” vampire in popular culture and contemporary vampire fiction, while also exploring how the shift in the diet of (some) vampires, from human to animal or synthetic blood, responds to a growing ecological awareness that is rapidly reshaping our understanding of relations with others species. The book introduces the trope of the vegetarian vampire, as well as important critical contexts for its discussion: the Anthropocene, food studies, and the modern practice, politics and ideologies of vegetarianism. Drawing on references to recent historical contexts and developments in the genre more broadly, the book investigates the vegetarian vampire’s relationship to other more violent and monstrous forms of the vampire in popular twenty-first century horror cinema and television. Texts discussed include Interview with the Vampire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and True Blood. Reading the Vegetarian Vampire examines a new aspect of contemporary interest in considering vampire fiction.

Book Description
Arman dreams of a teen he met two years earlier when he realizes she’s in trouble. Even though he stays with his Welsh prince vampire friends through thick and thin, this time he’s certain he has to rescue her on his own. They’re not about to let him though. As friends since the Black Death, they stick together. Besides, they’re already known as rogue vampires who help humans and hunters in need, so what else is new? But this time the teen is a huntress, though she doesn’t know it. She’s held hostage by a powerful family of vampires, also that she’s clueless about, and they want her for her dream abilities when she turns eighteen during the red blood moon. Fiona doesn’t like living with her eccentric great aunt who gives her no freedom until the night of the Halloween dance, big mistake on her great aunt’s part. Fiona meets the teen of her dreams, she thinks, and the same guy she’d run into two years earlier in Dallas, Texas. But how could he be in Portland, Oregon now? Where she is? At her high school dance? She’s drawn to him like she has never been to anyone else, but before long, he whisks her away into a world she has never known—of vampires and hunters. Of witches and dream powers. Of danger and deceit. Somehow, he must keep her safe while she harnesses her abilities to do the same for him before the blood moon makes its appearance and it’s too late.

Book Description
Broke ex-waitresses aren't supposed to have archenemies. Seriously, that kind of crap is way above our pay grade. We certainly aren't supposed to have multiple supernatural beings competing for the title of "scariest nemesis." Yet that's where I find myself, now that the last vampire on Earth is no longer the last vampire on Earth. Ransley Thorpe turned his closest friend in a last-ditch effort to save his life. Now all three of us have targets painted on our backs, and the powerful demon who might be able to protect us is the last person in the three realms we should trust. To survive, we'll have to rekindle old alliances and rely on friends who have only the barest conception of the danger they're about to face. One thing is crystal clear—even if we succeed in holding our enemies at bay, my life is about to change in ways I could never have foreseen. As the only demon/fae/human hybrid in existence, I thought I had problems before. Silly me. It turns out, I didn't know when I was well off. * * * The Last Vampire is a steamy urban fantasy romance series from USA Today Bestseller R. A. Steffan and Jaelynn Woolf, co-authors of the Circle of Blood saga. Order Book Five today, and enter a world shared by humans, fae, demons, and one very reluctant vampire. It's a place where the supernatural threatens the mundane, nothing is as it seems, and love will either be the world's downfall—or its salvation.

My name’s Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too. So now…now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.
