Can Taniquel stop her nightmares before they consume her? Visions of plagues and death. Her leave of absence is consumed by them, and she is feverishly digging into her expertise in virology, hoping that there might be some rhyme or reason for the terrible dreams that plague her. When nothing comes up, she attempts to distract herself by reaching out to the dating agency that she had pushed away, and agrees to go on a date. Not her first choice, but her third. Ironic, that the date for a virologist is a vampire. Hugh’s people are the worst afflicted with the plague that forces them to hunger for blood- and to enjoy taking it, even by force. Science in the hands of the starfolk caused it, so the best he can hope is that science can cure it as well. The nightmares and the disease are entwined- and the starfolks’ minions don’t want it cured. Can Taniquel avert the disaster that haunts her dreams, and save Hugh and his people in the process?

When Mike Henry, the new veterinarian in town, meets cowboy Seth Archer, it could be good times ahead—but Mike's ex isn't about to let him go without a fight. Seth Archer, working cowboy on a dude ranch in Northern California, is thrown for a loop when he meets Mike Henry, the new veterinarian in town. The five-foot-eight bespectacled Mike isn't Seth's type, but the blue eyes behind the glasses are something Seth can't seem to get past or forget. Mike's on the run. Well, not exactly, but he left Seattle to get away from Victor Torrens, a dominating boyfriend who turned abusive when Mike told him he wouldn't be his submissive. Mike hasn't worked with horses before, but it's not long before his natural love of animals—and cowboys—makes him decide to call the small town of Denton home. Seth and Mike bond, but their love affair might just be doomed before it truly begins when Victor sends Alex Brand, a celebrity bodyguard, to strongarm Mike back to Seattle. In order to protect Seth and his new friends from Alex's big fists, Mike may be forced to make a decision he'll regret for the rest of his life. Reader advisory: This book contains scenes involving an abusive ex. There are threats and memories of violence, car accidents involving death and a scene involving attempted abduction with violence.

Not only do vampires exist, but they walk among us! Paranormal researcher extraordinaire and author of hundreds of books on the mysterious and unknown, Brad Steiger, reveals that real vampires are not immortal, do not have fangs or sleep in coffins, and have no fear of sunlight or crucifixes. A chilling chronicle of the often-ignored history of vampirism, Real Vampires, Night Stalkers, and Creatures from the Darkside is a shocking account of occultist rituals and the inhuman forces that influence these immortal beasts. From spine-tingling classic tales—Vlad the Impaler, the Countess of Blood—to stories of famous mass-murderers and their shocking, cannibalistic, and vampire-like behavior—Jack the Ripper, the Zodiac Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer—to hair-raising testimony from ordinary people who’ve encountered vampires, and finally to interviews with modern vampires themselves, this frightening collection covers them all. Not for the faint of heart, you’ll encounter 163 terrifying tales of the hideous wraiths and creatures that lurk in shadow, including . . . the Mexican prostitute who mesmerized an entire village, convincing them she was an Incan goddess who required human sacrifice for her magic. the three teenagers who left a trail across the South as they conducted blood-drinking rituals with animals. the mysterious Lady in Black, who draws psychic energy from men who dare approach her as she wanders through city streets and parks. the young bride-to-be possessed by an evil spirit pretending to be her recently deceased uncle. the college student who thought that he had gotten lucky when he was invited to a party by a gorgeous woman—until he found out that the other partygoers seemed to want blood in return for their beer. Shining a light on the horrifying truth, Real Vampires, Night Stalkers, and Creatures from the Darkside dispels many myths but also confirms the truth behind several traits of real vampires. You’ll encounter loathsome slashers, rippers, and murderers who do not promise immortality with their “bite,” only a painful death. The numerous photos and illustrations bring the text to life!

A muse in the flesh…at least to the shapeshifter who so desperately needs her help. Only one problem: Cathy’s creativity is gone. Kaput. Dead in the water. Without it, she’s a shell of the woman that she once was, lost and bitter without the one thing that makes her who she truly is. Reynard is the trickster king, a shapeshifter of the first order whose purpose is to help bring his kind into the human world. Cathy is a friend of his family, but more than that, he and the rest of his kind need her art and creativity to aid the plan to convince humanity to accept them. Without it, his people will be forced back to the world where they have been exiled for so long. The greater good is reason enough for Reynard to help Cathy regain her creativity, but as they get to know one another more, he realizes that perhaps he is more personally invested. Without Cathy, the plan to rejoin the human world will die, but without her creativity, Cathy will wither, and Reynard isn’t willing to let either of those things happen. Not without a fight.

And new technology? iPhones with cameras, still shots or videos uploaded for eternity on the internet highway revealed us to the billions of spiteful people on the planet, the villagers with pitchforks.-Parasites: A Tale of Route 66
