Summary : LAPSUS DIABOLI aka The Devil's Scripture is an anthology of ancient scripture and later classics wherein the DEVIL in his various incarnations plays a central role. Apart from a brief but concise introduction, the LAPSUS is devoid of any commentary and presents the texts in a biblical fashion without textual embellishments or hyperbole. The LAPSUS includes the Selections of Z'd-sparam, the Yazidi Book of Revelation and Black Book, the Book of the Watchers, the Testament of Solomon, the Descent into Hell, passages from the Zohar dealing with SATAN and Hell as well as selected extracts from the Old and New Testaments, the Bundahis, the Qur'an, Judeo-Christian pseudepigrapha and apocrypha, the Leyden Papyrus, Sumerian tablets, Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and much more. With a total word count of 146,922 words the LAPSUS is slightly larger than the New Testament and almost twice as long as the Qur'an. An essential addition to the discerning Diabolist's bookshelf.

Summary : Inspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . . 'Scary as hell. Gothic as decay' Josh Malerman 'Reading Dracul is like watching a classic vampire film . . . a terrifying read' R. L. Stine 'J.D. Barker is a one-of-a-kind writer' James Patterson _____________ Dracul reveals not only the true origins of Dracula himself, but also of his creator, Bram Stoker . . . and of the elusive, enigmatic woman who connects them. It is 1868, and a 21-year-old Bram Stoker has locked himself inside an abbey's tower to face off against a vile and ungodly beast. He is armed with mirrors and crucifixes and holy water and a gun - and is kept company by a bottle of plum brandy. His fervent prayer is that he will survive this one night - a night that will prove to be the longest of his life. Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, the young man scribbles down the events that brought him to this point - and tells an extraordinary tale of childhood illness, a mysterious nanny, and stories once thought to be fables now proved to be true. What readers are saying: ***** 'Gripping . . . has you clinging to the pages white-knuckled' ***** 'This book oozed atmosphere . . . if you love classic, atmospheric, proper old school horror, read this book' ***** 'Packed full of suspense and horror to rival the Dracula story itself'

Summary : Dark, dangerous and transgressive, Bram Stoker's Dracula is often read as Victorian society's absolute Other--an outsider who troubles and distracts those around him, one who represents the fears and anxieties of the age. This book is a study of Dracula's role of absolute Other as it appears on screen, and an investigation of popular culture's continued fascination with vampires. Drawing on vampire films spanning from the early 20th century to 2017, the author examines how different generations construct Otherness and how this is reflected in vampire media.

Summary : A husband, a family, a comfortable life: Theodora Lestrange lives in terror of it all. With a modest inheritance and the three gowns that comprise her entire wardrobe, Theodora leaves Edinburgh—and a disappointed suitor—far behind. She is bound for Rumania, where tales of vampires are still whispered, to visit an old friend and write the book that will bring her true independence. She arrives at a magnificent, decaying castle in the Carpathians, replete with eccentric inhabitants: the ailing dowager; the troubled steward; her own fearful friend, Cosmina. But all are outstripped in dark glamour by the castle's master, Count Andrei Dragulescu. Bewildering and bewitching in equal measure, the brooding nobleman ignites Theodora's imagination and awakens passions in her that she can neither deny nor conceal. His allure is superlative, his dominion over the superstitious town, absolute—Theodora may simply be one more person under his sway. Before her sojourn is ended—or her novel completed—Theodora will have encountered things as strange and terrible as they are seductive. For obsession can prove fatal…and she is in danger of falling prey to more than desire.

Summary : After the death of his half brother, Stefan, at the hands of Vlad Tsepesh--also known as Dracula--and after the destruction of his vampire father, Arkady, also at the hands of Vlad, Abraham van Helsing has traveled the world slaying many vampires. With every vampire he destroys, Bram becomes stronger and Vlad weaker, and soon Bram hopes he will be able to finally kill the fearsome vampire who has kept the Tsepesh family enslaved through a centuries-old blood ritual. But a desperate Vlad and his vampire great-niece, Zsuzanna, summon help from the most powerful, brutal, and beautiful vampire of all--Countess Elizabeth of Bathory. Bram learns of their plot to destroy him, and makes his own move to strike out at Vlad before Vlad can put him to death. He teams up with a courageous band of humans as he hunts Vlad--including Mina Harker and John Seward--and they finally succeed in killing the head of the Tsepesh clan, just as Bram Stoker foretold in Dracula. But the terror does not end with the death of Vlad, for there is another force that drives Vlad, Zsuzanna, Elizabeth and all the vampires, an ancient entity more evil than anything Bram has ever encountered: the Lord of the Vampires. And for Bram to defeat this dark lord, he must once again risk losing his very soul, to save not only his family, but humanity as well. In her final book in The Diaries of the Family Dracul trilogy, Jeanne Kalogridis brilliantly melds her own fascinating story of the Tsepesh family with that of Bram Stoker's classic, Dracula. Told in diary form like the first two books and Stoker's own chilling tale, LORD OF THE VAMPIRES reveals the dark, startling truths behind the original Dracula.

Summary : Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed. This painstaking work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. Ample annotations guide readers through the construction of the novel and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. Nine appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.

Summary : A "UXB" is an unexploded bomb. What happens when it goes off? All those who know about the Armageddon Conspiracy were aware that detonation was coming. Now it has. In this epic, we describe something of what the AC was all about, and why it had to perish. Nietzsche said, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." Did the AC become monstrous? It certainly attracted monsters. In the end, did it topple into the abyss? Had it stood on the verge of the abyss for too long? As the AC exits the stage and the final curtain descends, it's essential to review the show. Did it deserve a standing ovation, or to be booed off the stage? Should the audience have thrown flowers, or rotten tomatoes? What did the critics say? Does anyone care? There were all too many poison pens, all too few glittering prizes. Some things are born posthumously, and the AC now joins the list. What will its afterlife be like? As ever, AC material is controversial, so no one of a sensitive disposition should access this work. You can't say you haven't been warned. We understood that for our message to be pure, it would entail shrinking our audience to almost zero, and we have more or less achieved that. When you tell the truth, you repulse everyone who follows the lie, and that's nearly all of humanity. Humanity loves the Lie. It worships it. It will have nothing else. The Truth is of no use to it at all. So, come inside and follow the final phase of this strangest of all stories. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be enraged, and many of you will storm off in a huff. At the end, you will either love us or hate us, and probably the latter. That's how it ought to be. What could be worse than going out with a whimper rather than a bang? Stand back, the bomb is going off.
