David Gerrold0.0 Who is Jacob? And why has he sought out this young horror writer to tell his story? Why is he finally revealing the dark history of how he became a creature of the night? Born in 1858, orphaned at 13, abandoned to the desperate alleys of Seattle's rough waterfront, Jacob becomes a street-rat and a pickpocket. Until one night, he picks the wrong pocket... Caught by a man he knows only as Monsieur, suddenly swept into the world of the Nightsiders, Jacob discovers there is much more to being a creature of the darkness than popular mythology might have it. Serving first as a daykeeper, then later as a protege, and finally as a hunter, Jacob learns that not everybody can be a vampire. You have to prove you're ready for it. There's an initiation...and it's not what you think. It's worse. And then...even if you do pass the test, even if you finally understand what's being offered, is this the life you desire?
J. Gordon Melton, Alysa Hornick0.0 The Vampire in Folklore, History, Literature, Film and Television is the most comprehensive listing of writings about the vampire and related creatures covering material generated through the nineteenth and twentieth century to the present. The listings document the penetration of the vampire into all areas of Western society from scholarly discourse to popular culture, from politics to cook books. It especially reaches into to the mass market aspects of vampire life in television and the movies from Bela Lugosi's Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, and the Twilight Saga. Beginning with vampire folklore, the volume covers historical writings, the vampire in literature, the cinema and television, and its widespread appearing in academic writings and its presence among true believers who want nothing more than to become a child of the night.
