At the next full moon, the real trouble begins… Epidemiologist Joanie Fisher can’t catch a break. After her lab burns to the ground, her boss simultaneously fires her and ends their affair. And though she’s inherited her grandfather’s multimillion-dollar estate, Joanie’s shocked to discover the property comes infested with werewolves. Confronted by a ruggedly handsome shifter who begs her to continue her cutting edge research into the wolves’ physical changes, Joanie unearths a sinister conspiracy that puts her own life in danger. And as she pushes hard to find the cure, shadowy figures will do anything to make sure she never develops a treatment… including resorting to murder. Can Joanie end the wolfish disease before she’s next on a killer’s list? Book Two - Long Shadows Her secret nature has the supernatural world thirsty for her blood. Can she unleash her inner wolf before enemies hound her to her death? Lonna Marconi never wanted any of this. Struggling to accept her new form as a werewolf, she’s desperate to maintain her normal life as a social worker and part-time PI. But when her heightened senses reveal her boss’s devious plans, she flees her pack and heads to the mountains to escape capture. Unable to ditch the hunters on her tail by the time she finds her friends, Lonna fights tooth and nail to protect her kin. And when she awakens from a tranquilizer in the arms of a handsome wizard, she’s terrified to discover that she’s lost her hidden beast… and her only chance of survival. Can she claw her way out before evil claims her life? Book Three - Blood's Shadow The disease has teeth…but the cure could be deadly. As Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord went above and beyond his official title to keep werewolf kind out of the public eye. Now he has a new challenge as the liaison to the Institute for Lycanthrope Reversal, advocating for humans turned werewolf against their will. The Institute’s controversial “treatment” is generally accepted – until one of the project’s scientists is found murdered at his desk. The suspect list is long: purists who believe lycanthropism is a non-returnable gift; wolf-borns who want the cure for their own; and the ethereal Selene Rial, an Institute psychologist who’s lost her most precious possession to a secret society dedicated to the annihilation of werewolves. If Gabriel fails to solve this case, the fragile peace between wizards and lycanthropes could shatter, and his friends’ lives could be ruined. But even if he succeeds, he has to face the consequences of his heart being pulled in a dangerous direction – a woman whose secrets could destroy them both. Bonus novella - A Million Shadows Witches, werewolves, and murder - oh, my! Former model and heartbreaker Kyra Ellison is accustomed to making trouble, not being on the receiving end. When she’s kicked out of her family’s Ozarks cabin where she's been taking refuge - okay, hiding - after a wicked ancient syndrome wrecked her old life, she's forced to go to Salem, Massachusetts. Yes, that Salem, where a murder, witches with secrets, and handsome billionaire make danger irresistible. Kyra finds she's not the only one with secrets and skeletons in her family closet, but some are more deadly than others. A confrontation with ancient danger and a new foe forces her to choose between the old life she's been craving and the new love that might make everything worth it in the end.

Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons
Author: Richard Noll
Publisher: Bruner Meisel U

Release: 1992
Genre: Medical
ISBN:

"Make no mistake, this is a serious, scholarly, altogether professional book--but it also has all the elements of a Stephen King novel. Filled with real-life tales of mystery, misery, and psychological mayhem, it challenges us to realize the unfathomable and to reexamine traditional definitions of fact and fantasy. And Richard Noll proves a sure-footed guide as he crosses the boundary of standard psychiatric nomenclature into the world of identity transformation and blood obsession." "Meticulously researched and edited, the book brings together an international selection of contributions--historical and current--to reveal the depth and breadth of psychopathology as it manifests in vampirism, lycanthropy, and demonical possession. Mr. Noll's own explorations of the subjects weave together clinical, anthropological, and literary perspectives to create a rich and multitextured portrait of these psychiatric disturbances. As the labyrinthian nature of the human psyche unfolds within these pages, we are reminded again and again of the power of the beast that lurks beneath the surface of day-to-day existence." "This is not a book for the faint of heart. But for those whose thirst for knowledge compells them to question the unquestionable, it is a unique and provocative exploration of disorders that lie beyond the reach of current genetic, biochemical, and neurophysiological understanding."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Release: 1997
Genre: History
ISBN:

More gruesome than any horror novel, this study proves that truth is indeed stranger--and more brutal--than fiction. Over 100,000 people were tortured, maimed and burned alive in the witch hunts of the early modern period. Sidky (Miami University, Ohio) discusses the how and why of these events, covering accusations of cannibalism, the fear that accompanied the plague, the methods and motives of torture, demonic possession, hallucinogenic drugs, werewolves, and the use of the witchhunt and terror as a form of social control.
