Edward Weyland is far from your average vampire: not only is he a respected anthropology professor but his condition is biological — rather than supernatural. He lives discrete lifetimes bounded by decades of hibernation and steals blood from labs rather than committing murder. Weyland is a monster who must form an uneasy empathy with his prey in order to survive, and The Vampire Tapestry is a story wholly unlike any you've heard before.

25 years after the landmark publication of Walk to the End of the World, Suzy McKee Charnas has completed her epic tale of the Holdfast.

The Fems were slaves of the men in the Holdfast. When Alldera escaped her slavery, she led a band of rebels to build a world where women rule. Now Sorrel, Alldera's daughter, joins her mother. She brings with her a young boy she has adopted.

The Conqueror's Child completes an epic history of life and love and the war between men and women which will stand for generations to come.

To escape the abuse of his now-dead father, Kevin Malone has created his own magical world, the Fayre Farre, and he is Prince Kavian. Amy, a former classmate, arrives in the final days before the epic battle between Prince Kavian and his nemesis. “A sure winner which will be enjoyed by readers who may be overwhelmed by high fantasy.”--Children’s Book Review Service

It starts with an explosion deep inside a New York City subway station - an explosion no one hears but fourteen-year-old Valentine. After that, things begin to disappear - at first unimportant items like Tina's lunch and the kitchen linoleum, and then the awesome bronze statue of King Jagiello in Central Park. Valentine senses something evil surrounding her - a chilling, menacing presence. But she doesn't understand it until she meets a strange old street fiddler named Paavo and his young friend Joel. What she learns from them launches her on a fantastic and dangerous quest to save the city and the world from an unearhly evil power.

Спасая последних представителей земной цивилизации и предоставляя им кров на своей родине, кондриане руководствовались исключительно благими намерениями. Они даже не предполагали, чем обернётся для их планеты чрезмерная влюбленность в земную культуру, искусство и музыку.

THE VAMPIRE TAPESTRY examines the classic monster as a biological, rather than supernatural, predator who awakens from hibernation every few decades needing to relearn human culture. After years of secret effort, the self-styled Edward Weyland has become a respected anthropology professor and director of a sleep research lab. With reliable access to unsuspecting blood donors, he grows complacent and makes a near-fatal error. First critically wounded by a strong and canny woman, then imprisoned and humiliated by a power-mad Satanist, he is forced on a journey toward an empathy with his prey that threatens the foundations of his survival.

The men of the Holdfast had long treated with contempt the degenerated creatures known as "fems." To give themselves the drive to survive and reconquer the world, the men needed a common enemy. Superstitious belief had ascribed to the fems the guilt for the terrible Wasting that had destroyed the world. They were the ideal scapegoat. The truth was lost in death and decay and buried in history. It was going to be a long journey back...

"Everything I've always wanted from an adventure, and then some!" Samuel R Delany "[Motherlines is] a pioneer exercise in women's fantasies of independence, skill, freedom. It has a robust, earthy beauty. She has a genius for grasping ideas and dreams that are in the air and making them concrete and dramatic in her fiction." Marge Piercy Alldera had risked her life to escape the Holdfast, where men ruled fems in a bestial society based on fear. She had followed a whisper: the legend of the free fems who lived without masters. Instead, she had found the Motherline Tribes. They proud Riding Women who bred without men, the…
