From Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding neo-noir that reimagines vampire lore. Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, is smart, beautiful, and dangerous. Domingo is mesmerized. Atl needs to quickly escape the city, far from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Her plan doesn’t include Domingo, but little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in. Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

An exhaustive work covering the full range of topics relating to vampires, including literature, film and television, and folklore. Encyclopedia of the Vampire: The Living Dead in Myth, Legend, and Popular Culture is a comprehensive encyclopedia relating to all phases of vampirism—in literature, film, and television; in folklore; and in world culture. Although previous encyclopedias have attempted to chart this terrain, no prior work contains the depth of information, the breadth of scope, and the up-to-date coverage of this volume. With contributions from many leading critics of horror and supernatural literature and media, the encyclopedia offers entries on leading authors of vampire literature (Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer), on important individual literary works (Dracula and Interview with the Vampire), on celebrated vampire films (the many different adaptations of Dracula, the Twilight series, Love at First Bite), and on television shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel). It also covers other significant topics pertaining to vampires, such as vampires in world folklore, humorous vampire films, and vampire lifestyle.

Today, the vampire is alive and flourishing, kept alive by vampire societies around the world, and forever assuming new incarnations on stage and screen, as well as in novels and even comics.

Bien que ce mot n'évoque plus aujourd'hui que des terreurs de salles obscures, il n'en éveille pas moins l'écho de peurs ancestrales car il fut une époque, pas si lointaine, où le vampire faisait réellement peur. La simple mention de son nom plongeait dans la terreur, non seulement le paysan inculte, mais aussi le bourgeois et même certains érudits. C'est que le vampire incarne la mort hideuse qui nous guette sans relâche. C'est cette peur viscérale qui explique l'universalité du mythe des suceurs de sang de nos légendes. Toutefois, tel Janus, le vampire possède deux visages : s'il est une personnification de la mort, il n'en demeure pas moins, également, une exaltation de la vie... Une vie si forte qu'elle est capable de vaincre la mort. Cet ouvrage redonne au vampire sa véritable dimension. Il en évoque tous les aspects, tous les états, en révèle toute la richesse : de la mythologie à la littérature et au cinéma, en passant par l'Histoire. le symbolisme, la culture, les croyances, la bande dessinée et les représentations populaires... Les créatures de la nuit évoquées dans ces pages surprendront peut-être, car elles ne ressemblent pas beaucoup au comte Dracula. Il faut bien comprendre qu'il y a deux vampires distincts : le vampire traditionnel issu de croyances très anciennes, et le vampire moderne forgé par la littérature et surtout le cinéma. Et ces deux vampires n'ont pas grand-chose à voir l'un avec l'autre...
