Book Description
Stripped of her magic and memory, the sword-wielding and suddenly human Lady Death travels to exotic locations worldwide to face terrifying enemies and reclaim her former glory. Long ago, a young woman sacrificed her humanity to become the otherworldly femme fatale known as Lady Death. But now, Lady Death is no more. Stripped of her magic and memory, dethroned by the villainous Death Queen, and banished from the Blacklands, she escapes to Earth during the Dark Ages in the form of an amnesiac mortal thief named Illadra. Driven by hazy visions of her former glory, the skillful Illadra sets off on a worldwide quest to reclaim her fragmented power…and face the evils that her magic has awakened. The first volume of the new Lady Death series includes a rare prose introduction by writer Mike Wolfer, previously only available in a hard-to-find comic book handed out at conventions.

Book Description
Behold... Purgatori, the vampire goddess! Born a slave in ancient Alexandria, she refused the life of servitude, rising up against her masters and claiming an unnatural power as her own. In her long life, she has dined on kings and queens, and toppled countless empires across the globe... but now, she finds herself again on her knees, a slave to her unquenchable thirst! Lucifer, the lord of Hell, has stripped Purgatori of most of her power and exiled her to Earth, where her insatiable need for blood threatens to overwhelm her sanity. Her only hope for regaining her full stature is by acquiring the Chalice of Regeneration, a cup from antiquity lost to the desert sands. But Purgatori has a rival for the prize, an old enemy with an intense grudge. And even if the vampire goddess can once again attain her former glory, can she withstand the machinations of Lucifer, the weaponsmith Cremator, and Purgatori's own blood clone?

Book Description
R. Andrew Chesnut offers a fascinating portrayal of Santa Muerte, a skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade. Although condemned by mainstream churches, this folk saint's supernatural powers appeal to millions of Latin Americans and immigrants in the U.S. Devotees believe the Bony Lady (as she is affectionately called) to be the fastest and most effective miracle worker, and as such, her statuettes and paraphernalia now outsell those of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Jude, two other giants of Mexican religiosity. In particular, Chesnut shows Santa Muerte has become the patron saint of drug traffickers, playing an important role as protector of peddlers of crystal meth and marijuana; DEA agents and Mexican police often find her altars in the safe houses of drug smugglers. Yet Saint Death plays other important roles: she is a supernatural healer, love doctor, money-maker, lawyer, and angel of death. She has become without doubt one of the most popular and powerful saints on both the Mexican and American religious landscapes.
