Blood Passion


Book Description

"On April 20, 1914, in the small railroad town of Ludlow, Colorado, striking coalminers and state National Guardsmen waged a day-long battle that ended with the burning of a strikers' tent colony. The "Ludlow Massacre," as it is known, was only part of a seven-month war in which at least seventy-five people were killed. In Blood Passion, journalist Scott Martelle explores this largely forgotten American saga of coalminers rising against political and economic corruption, a fight that embraced some of the most volatile social movements of the early twentieth century."--Cover.

Book Description

Book I This engaging, and gripping story, is the memoirs of young Michael Valli; a Modern Gothic American Horror chronicle which takes place in the present-day picturesque waterfront town of Mystic; which has a folklore history of Vampires allegedly residing there, circa the late Eighteen Hundreds.

How will he survive, living with this macabre inner nemesis that he denominates as... Malice Nightwing. That question is, the hypothesis of Michael's plight, which keeps the reader and would keep an audience, on the edge of their own sanity, having a love hate relationship with the main character of this tragic tale of Michael's encounter with a mutated Vampire Bat; transported to the beautiful waterfront town of Mystic, from Mexico City, Mexico unknowingly by two of his neighbours; which had been vacationing there. Try as Michael does, to adjust to this estranged way of existing, until the love for, and of, a woman, makes him realize the horror of this way of life, now becoming a 'Beauty And The Beast' scenario, which then escalates the already ongoing conflict between Michael and his alter-ego Malice, strongly endangering them to their probable destruction, and or, demise...

You, the reader must abide, if you so dare; This journey through the BLOOD PASSION curse to reveal, how it is endured. Book III The continuance of the Modern Gothic American Horror conflict; between the untainted Passions of Good and the unbridled Horrors of Evil, for which the ingenuous through no fault of their own are compelled to deal with, because of being endowed with the obstinate curse of a life sustaining need, to ingest fresh Blood of living beings on a regular basis.
