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?

For centuries, the exotic realm of Asia has defied Kindred incursions. Those few children of caine dwelling in Asia whisper of monstrous cathayans -- shadowy vampires native to the East. For too long, the cathayans have lain like sleeping dragons, allowing the Kindred a facade of omnipotence. Now the new Age is at hand. Yin daggers tremble in the talons of Resplendent cranes, and the Devil-Tigers howl for souls in the dark. In the groundbreaking Kindred of the East, the silken veil is pulled aside to reveal the vampires of Asia. Now, the Kuei-jin are presented in greater detail, with new insights into their powers, societies and beliefs. Prepare for the coming storm as Cathayans invade the halls of Kindred power in the West.

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...
