A wild rollercoaster ride through the darkest recesses of our souls is just one of the many things that this book is about. As Dani realizes that something has to change in his life or else he's got to put an end to it, a series of abnormally shocking events start to unravel right before your very eyes. First, Dani runs away from home from his deranged parents who want to lock him up. Self-exploration is the key, and Dani's new goal is to find all the missing puzzles of his personality and discover the true nature of his being now that he's finally on his own. This quest for inner knowledge comes at its cost, almost tearing Dani apart as he finds out terrible and shocking revelations about his dark past. Dani is deceived by many as he struggles to discover the truth that his parents have been hiding from him for so long. Alone, he manages to survive both betrayal and fire. A terrifying encounter with a deadly enemy will put Dani to the ultimate test and will come back to haunt him for years to come. Dani stays strong as he makes friends, loses loved ones and realizes that his most powerful asset is his ambition and his will to survive, which he draws from his best friend, Kevin. A most interesting read! The tale sizzles with intense action as this young boy matures into a grown man and comes to question not only God himself but the very nature of man as a nocturnal animal such as a vampire or as a human being. This book symbolizes a collection of beauty and monstrosity, love and hate, joy and sadness, pain entwined with pleasure.

In blood-soaked lore handed down the centuries, the vampire is a monster of endless fascination: from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this seductive lover of blood haunts popular culture and inhabits our darkest imaginings. The cultural history of the vampire is a rich and varied tale that is now ably documented in From Demons to Dracula, a compelling study of the vampire myth that reveals why this creature of the undead fascinates us so. Beresford’s chronicle roams from the mountains of Eastern Europe to the foggy streets of Victorian England to Hollywood, as he investigates the portrayal of the vampire in history, literature, and art. Opening with the original Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, and his status as a national hero in Romania, he endeavors to winnow out truths from the complex legend and folklore. From Demons to Dracula tracks the evolution of the vampire as an icon and supernatural creature, drawing on classical Greek and Roman myths, witch trials and medieval plagues, Gothic literature, and even contemporary works such as Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire and Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Beresford also looks at the widespread impact of screen vampires from television shows, classic movies starring Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, and more recent films such as Underworld and Blade. Whether as a demon of the underworld or a light-fearing hunter of humans, the vampire has endured through the centuries, the book reveals, as powerfully symbolic figure for human concerns with life, death, and the afterlife. A wide-ranging and engrossing chronicle, From Demons to Dracula casts this blood-thirsty nightstalker as a remarkably complex and telling totem of our nightmares, real and imagined.
