Centuries of vampire hunts have ensured vampires live on the brink of extinction. Only the Goya clan survives by working as vampire assassins for unscrupulous humans who want to eliminate their enemies. The vampires are in demand because their killings are unsolvable. The Goyas have a fetish of their own, a sadistic need to feast on human flesh. St. Anyas vampire hunters are the only ones who can stop them. What has a writer, an old man and a dog to do with it? Nothing, until a vampire abducts the writers best friend. Tossed between fear and loyalty, Artesia Cane pushes herself into the horrific war between the living and the undead by joining forces with St. Anyas, a mysterious old man with immense supernatural powers and Stalkers, an unusual breed of vampire killers, to rescue her friend. The vampire hunt culminates into the ultimate battle where the hunters discover they are betrayed. No one can trust anyone. The Blood Paintings is a horror-action novel of a nightmarishly enduring tale of the test of loyalty, love and most of all, faith and hope under the duress of the eternal battle between good and evil.

Turmoil and violence have defined the lives of Palestinian people over the last few decades, yet in the midst of the chaos artists live and thrive, creating little-seen work that is a powerful response to their situation. Gannit Ankori's Palestinian Art is the first in-depth English-language assessment of contemporary Palestinian art, and it offers an unprecedented and wholly original overview of this art in all its complexity. Ankori comprehensively traces the full history and development of Palestinian art, from its roots in folk art and traditional Christian and Islamic painting to the predominance of nationalistic themes and diverse media used today. Drawing on over a decade of extensive research, studio visits, and interviews, Ankori explores the vast oeuvre of prominent contemporary Palestinian artists, navigating between the personal and biographical dimensions of specific artworks and the symbolic meanings embedded within them. She provides detailed interpretations of many works and considers the complex historical, geographical, political, and cultural contexts in which the art was created. Questions of gender, exile, colonialism, postcolonialism, and hybridity are integral to Ankori's investigation as she probes the influence and thematic dominance of issues such as rootedness and displacement in Palestinian art. Palestinian Art is a fascinating introduction to a virtually unknown visual culture that has been subsumed under the torrent of current political turmoil. A groundbreaking and essential work of art scholarship, Palestinian Art illuminates new and unique facets of the Palestinian cultural identity.
