1st printing. By Gregory L. Reece. Vampires and werewolves; phantoms and phantasms: looming out of the fog leaps the menacing spectre of the lycanthrope, ghoul or blood-crazed zombie. Intrigued by some of the most sinister, yet at the same time most compelling, legends of western civilization, Gregory L Reece dusts down his stake and crucifix, loads his silver bullets and takes off into the wilds in search of answers and fresh adventures. Rummaging around in crumbling tombs and cobwebbed sarcophagi, his latest quest leads him into the haunted realm of the dead and the undead: of those carnivorous, nocturnal hunters that might perhaps better be left undisturbed. Why, he asks, is our culture obsessed by the eerie and the macabre? Why, despite its horrors, does the 'dark side' of the supernatural - its seances and ghost-hunting, demonic possession and the occult - call to us with such dangerous allure? Whether tracking night-stalking werewolves, chanting black magic mantras with Satanists, or interviewing a funereal modern-day Count Dracula, Reece is determined to uncover the truth. A wry exploration of a secret and secretive subculture, "Creatures of the Night" is at the same time a bold and startling journey into a wraithlike world that has so often seemed to lie beyond the limits of rational comprehension - until now. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 208 pages, text (with B&W Illustrations).

By Anne Rice.

A reporter's life is forever changed on the night that he hears the life story of Louis de Pointe du Lac, a mysterious man with mesmerizing eyes, a man with a supernatural, otherworldly presence, a man who is no man at all but rather a 200-year old vampire!

This is the first book in author Anne Rice's VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, an epic, sweeping story of the immortals that have walked the earth for centuries as dark gods that live in the shadows and stalk the night.

This is the tale that introduces the world to Louis, Claudia, Armand, and, of course, the Brat Prince himself - Lestat de Lioncourt.

Hardcover, 372 pages, Text Only.

NOTE: "The Vampire Chronicles are absolutely the best novel series featuring the Children of the Night in the history of literature." - Odinson, mycomicshop.com Archivist
