    Blood Work HC (2011 Del Rey Books) An Original Hollows Graphic Novel 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    Written by Kim Harrison. Art by Pedro Maia.

    Kim Harrison's urban paranormals series, Hollows - starring sexy young witch Rachel Morgan - has sold more than a million copies in North America alone. Now comes this original, full-color graphic-novel scripted by Harrison herself, revealing the never-before-told backstory between Rachel Morgan and the vampire, Ivy Tamwood.

    Sexy and action-filled, Blood Work will bring to life the characters that Harrison's fans have loved since publication of the first Hollows novel, Dead Witch Walking. Fans have been asking for years what Rachel and Ivy's first experience as partners in the I.S. (Inderland Security) was like. The answer? Stormy!

    Assigned as an intern under Ivy's supervision, Rachel's got plenty to prove, while Ivy has to face that this very attractive - and frustratingly self-assured - young earth witch, controls powers that Ivy can't match. Ivy's got one big question as well. Did Piscary, her vampire master, set this partnership up? And if so, why?

    Hardcover, 144 pages, full color.

    1st printing.

    Written by Ice-T, Arabian Prince, Tommy the Animator, and Gary Phillips. Art and cover by Montos.

    The blueprint of living in Tehk City is simple: do as you're told, always watch your back, and never, ever, trust anyone. The crooked Mayor Chuck Davis (Ice T), his deadly female assassin Rhonda Knuckles (Coco), and right-hand man Maniac Max (Treach) know this all too well. They must navigate through the savage law of the street.

    With his hands in everything from money laundering to hired hits, Davis tries to stay one step ahead of the competition in The Round Table Gang, Benny Tang (Ben Baller), Azul Michoacan (Emilio Rivera), and Vinny Pipes Roselli (Jeffrey Peterson)—who have controlled the black market undercurrent of Tehk City for years. But information comes at a price, especially when purchased by Pretty Black (Snoop Dogg), whose black market network feeds him intelligence from the furthest reaches of Tehk City.

    Davis and his crew will soon learn that grabbing power from the top dog can take you sky high or drag you to the grave.

    By Harold Schechter.

    The truth behind the twisted crimes that inspired the films Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs...From Americas principal chronicler of its greatest psychopathic killers (The Boston Book Review) comes the definitive account of Ed Gein, a mild-mannered Wisconsin farmhand who stunned an unsuspecting nation — and redefined the meaning of the word psycho. The year was 1957. The place was an ordinary farmhouse in Americas heartland, filled with extraordinary evidence of unthinkable depravity. The man behind the massacre was a slight, unassuming Midwesterner with a strange smile—and even stranger attachment to his domineering mother. After her death and a failed attempt to dig up his mothers body from the local cemetery, Gein turned to other grave robberies and, ultimately, multiple murders. Driven to commit gruesome and bizarre acts beyond all imagining, Ed Gein remains one of the most deranged minds in the annals of American homicide. This is his story — recounted in fascinating and chilling detail by Harold Schechter, one of the most acclaimed true-crime storytellers of our time.

    The vampire has always had audience appeal. What is amazing is that Hollywood shunned the King of Vampires for years fearing the story was too gruesome of any movie audience's palette. When Universal finally decided to make a screen production of the classic novel and successful Broadway play, they were not originally going to pursue Bela Lugosi for the part even though he had stunned audiences with his performance in the Broadway role for years. This MagicImage Filmbook traces the long trail of the classic 1931 production from legend to screenplay to film. Includes treatments, preliminary scripts even, for the first time anywhere, reproductions of some of Bram Stoker's original handwritten and typed draft manuscript for the novel.

    Special Introduction by Bela Lugosi and Preface by Carla Laemmle.
