Book Description

In a quiet city in British Columbia, vampires stalk a hospital, looking for victims to milk, kill, or recruit as partial vampires that instinctively desire humans for their life-giving blood. Although Jude loves the power of being a partial vampire, which includes shapeshifting into whatever he wants, he struggles with guilt over the harm his vampiric nature may cause. His human side clings to his past, but as a vampire he has access to a world of power, immortality, and liberation from human limitations. Should he work to destroy the world he lives in and dominate the planet, or side with humans in fighting the vampires that control him?

Book Description

Bridget Felderman was an investigative journalist investigating the disappearance of a drug addict, stripper named Sam in Baltimore who allegedly later re-emerged as a vampire from a mysterious group called The Order. Oddly, before Bridget could publish her work, she approached me, H.S. Darke, a colleague of hers, and bequeathed to me all of her research and notes, and then she apparently died shortly thereafter. Her Death Certificate read, “Cause of Death: Natural Causes.” As she was no longer with us, I published her version under my name in 2013. Years later, I was approached by interested parties, some who were rather mysterious, fascinating, and a few frankly a little intimidating, but they insisted I write the true version of events, so I agreed. I was led to believe that the original, published version was a corrupted narrative built around a rather Bridget-centric slant. Therefore, I was instructed to add as little color as possible to the actual events that took place so that the interested parties’ legacy in novel form be accurate enough to imbue respect and possibly fear, for they are apparently wealthy, hidden, and very powerful. Travel throughout the city of Baltimore into the darkest depths of society to seek answers to the many questions about Sam, her disappearance, and subsequent transformation.

Book Description

At the turn of the 20th century, printing and photographic technologies evolved rapidly, leading to the birth of mass media and the rise of the amateur photographer. Demonstrating how this development happened symbiotically with great changes in the shape of British literature, Writing, Authorship and Photography in British Literary Culture, 1880-1920 explores this co-evolution, showing that as both writing and photography became tools of mass dissemination, literary writers were forced to re-evaluate their professional and personal identities. Focusing on four key authors-Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad and Virginia Woolf-each of which had their own private and professional connections to photographs, this book offers valuable historical contexts for contemporary cultural developments and anxieties. At first establishing the authors' response to developing technologies through their non-fiction, personal correspondences and working drafts, Ennis moves on to examine how their perceptions of photography extend into their major works of fiction: A Laodicean, Dracula, The Secret Agent, The Inheritors and The Voyage Out. Reflecting on the first 'graphic revolution' in a world where text and image are now reproduced digitally and circulated en masse and online, Ennis redirects our attention to when image and text appeared alongside each other for the first time and the crises this sparked for authors: how they would respond to increasingly photographic depictions of everyday life, and in turn, how their writing adapted to a distinctly visual mass media.
