Vampires Inc. : 1554046912 $11.02 Vampires, Inc. is the first novel of a trilogy that follows the stories of the twenty-two-year-old vampire Adrian Shadowhawk and his mentor Eli Howard.brThese are not your classic vampires. They don’t have fangs (regrettably for some); they’re not predators. They still require human blood (voluntary donations), but they also eat regular food. They have telepathic powers. And they are mortal.brThousands of vampires exist in the world. At one time normal humans, now they are infected with a unique, transmissible-by-blood virus that has changed them into what they are. For centuries, most vampires have lived a peaceful existence in secret among humans.brA hundred and forty years ago, Eli Howard murdered his slaveholder’s family during the temporary madness brought on by the infection. In 1905, he helped quell in a violent conflict started in Europe against humans by dissident vampires. Since then, Eli has kept to himself, trying to erase the violence in his past. He teaches at a Detroit college, to help humans better themselves. Adrian Shadowhawk, on the other hand, is less judicious in his behavior and flaunts what he is to his human friends.brThen Cyrus Hayes, the vampire behind the murder of Eli’s first love, arrives in Detroit. On a quest to make vampires the master race, Cyrus performs unconscionable experiments on humans. With the future of humans and vampires at stake, Eli can no longer stay in the background. |

Vampires and Chocolates $20.48 After the chilling murder and transformation of Kenter Vonn into a 17th century vampire by the dominant Borgo and his clan, Kenter confronts a new world of evil, one of wicked powers that permit vampires to exist in daylight after a fresh supply of human blood. Kenter joins a colony of “good” vampires who crave chocolate in human blood and provide services diabolically to humans: selling Chocolate candies nationwide through franchised stores named Chocolate Bites. Borgo’s clan prefers a more sadistic approach to getting victims with sweet blood: they kidnap humans and marinate them in vats of chocolate, ravishing them during deadly feeding frenzies. Kenter seduces the beautiful Jacqueline and, after falling in love, keeps her as human and sets out on a quest to become human again himself. With Borgo and his clan seeking to destroy them both, Kenter must decide to flee with her or fight. In a final showdown with Borgo, Kenter learns the chilling secrets of why he was chosen to become a vampire. Forced to confront devilish knowledge, he learns the shocking truth of vampires and chocolates. |

Speaking With Vampires $29.95 During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, agents of colonialism were said to capture Africans, hang them upside down, cut their throats, and drain their blood. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction.White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. She examines the vampire stories told by migrants, artisans, and women in these countries to show how these stories can be used to write and revise local history. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, her book is an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth, memory, and the writing of history. Speaking with Vampires develops innovative strategies of interpretation that will be influential across many fields. |
