Change is in the air around Angel Bay. For our trio of hapless Angels, it seems the weather isn’t the only thing with ups and downs. Sadly, they find out that romance can be just as unpredictable.

When a new and mysterious family moves into town, their curiosity becomes the distraction they were looking for. To make matters worse, an unexplained death and a missing corpse just might toss the entire town into the middle of an ancient magical feud. Can Emmy and the gang save Angel Bay from the latest paranormal crisis, or will it be curtains for all of them?

Vampires Today
Author: Joseph P. Laycock
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313364737
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book, about real vampires and the communities they have formed, explores the modern world of vampirism in all its amazing variety. Long before Dracula, people were fascinated by vampires. The interest has continued in more recent times with Anne Rice's Lestat novels, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the HBO series True Blood, and the immensely popular Twilight. But vampires are not just the stuff of folklore and fiction. Based upon extensive interviews with members of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance and others within vampire communities throughout the United States, this fascinating book looks at the details of real vampire life and the many expressions of vampirism as it now exists. In Vampires Today: The Truth about Modern Vampirism, Joseph Laycock argues that today's vampires are best understood as an identity group, and that vampirism has caused a profound change in how individuals choose to define themselves. As vampires come "out of the coffin," as followers of a "religion" or "lifestyle" or as people biologically distinct from other humans, their confrontation with mainstream society will raise questions, as it does here, about how we define "normal" and what it means to be human.
