![]() ![]() However, things didn't stop here as this film only ran 62 minutes so when it came time to put it on television as TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE they had to film even more new scenes to pad out the time. ![]() ![]() What they did was take footage from that movie and added some new footage of Campbell as a vampire and the end result was BLOOD BATH. Producer Roger Corman hired Jack Hill and Stephanie Rothman to take the unmarketable 1963 film OPERATION TICIJAN and turn it into something that could be shown at drive-ins. What people don't realize is that he's actually a vampire who is constantly luring young woman to their death.

![]() Laura seems so perfect, the kind of Instagram-ready book girl that nobody can resist. That changes when a new bookseller joins the team. ![]() Roach is a loner who prefers to listen to true crime podcasts and keep out of other people’s way, even at work. Debut author and former bookseller Alice Slater has a much darker take on this familiar fantasy. Hasn’t everyone dreamed of working in a bookshop? I did it one Christmas over 12 years ago and I still think about it. On this auspicious day of Halloween, it’s a pleasure to share the final cover of my horrible little book Death of a Bookseller with you □□□Īvailable to preorder now: /KJMuKWs1Q0- Alice Slater □ October 31, 2022 Hello friends, book lovers and fellow things that go bump in the night. I’m aiming for 100 books this year, as I do every year, so here are a few 2023 releases I have my eye on. I myself have decided to embrace the smothering madness of my TBR pile, which now surrounds my bed like a moat of paper. ![]() ![]() As always, there are too many books to read and not enough time. ![]() ![]() ![]() He is entirely unprepared for a beautiful, radical woman to derail his mission. ![]() Montgomery is obsessed with getting back the castle his father gambled away and is willing to sell out his own ideals and work with the Tory Party if it will get the queen to grant his request. When she brazenly offers a political pamphlet to the Duke of Montgomery, it is just the first of many times that she shocks him with her brains and courage. In exchange, she’s required to publicly support their cause. ![]() Annabelle Archer is granted a scholarship by the National Society for Women’s Suffrage to become one of the first women to study at Oxford University. A bright, penniless suffragette in Victorian-era England melts the heart of a notoriously icy duke in this delightful romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although I'm giving serious consideration to just one. I may not be anyone's idea of the shining hero, but I'm going to make it out of this place alive, and I'm not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either. ![]() But the Scholomance isn't getting what it wants from me. ![]() Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that's crawled out of the drains. Just give me a chance and I'll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I'm probably the most dangerous thing in the place. I don't need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. I'm not joining his pack of adoring fans. Far as I'm concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD * "The dark school of magic I've been waiting for."-Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight Trilogy I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Occasionally, she’ll “speak” to the lawyer directly, almost as a reminder of why she’s telling the story in the first place, but for the most part, The Turn of the Key reads like your typical novel told in first person POV. ![]() Now, normally I’m not the biggest fan of an epistolary novel (a story told through letters, journal entries, etc.), but the way Ware structures the narrative, it doesn’t read like Rowen is writing a letter at all. What’s great about this thriller is right from the get-go, Ruth Ware hooks you with Rowen’s statement to her potential lawyer: I didn’t kill anyone. Lights turn on and off, the house blasts music at odd hours on its own, and then there’s the strange sound of footsteps on the ceiling in Rowan’s bedroom when she lives on the top floor… A child is dead, and she’s awaiting trial for murder, but did she do it? What started out as a simple live-in nanny position in a house that’s a mixture of Victorian and modern, with “Smart House” technology, in the Scottish Highlands turns into a nightmare as Rowen struggles to come to terms with the strange events unraveling before her before she was incarcerated. Ruth Ware’s The Turn of the Key is an adult thriller that begins with Rowen Caine writing a letter to a potential lawyer from prison. It is unpolished and unpleasant, and I don’t pretend I acted like an angel. “I am telling you the truth. The unvarnished, ugly truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() But on the cross-country journey in search of McKee, another attempt on their lives leaves operative and outlaw stranded miles from Denver, with no one to rely upon but each other. It seems an objective within Darrow's reach after he rescues Emlyn from an assassin, earning a measure of his trust in the process. And with a little maneuvering, he'll have the one thing a vengeful McKee may consider fair barter: the Secret Service operative whose testimony sent them both up the river. ![]() ![]() He wants possession of his best work, the flawless fifty dollar plates still in McKee's hands. Promised his freedom in return, Darrow's after something more. When counterfeiter August McKee takes illegal advantage of a sinking silver market, his former confederate Darrow Gardiner shares that information with Agent Strickland so they can track down the once-friend who left Darrow to rot in prison. Secret Service operative Emlyn Strickland may be new to field work, but his talent for identifying counterfeit bank notes, honed over ten years at the Treasury, has given Sing Sing's population a respectable boost. ![]() ![]() As I got older, that love only grew stronger. ![]() I loved being in, on and under water, including swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans. On a personal level, I had water experiences as a kid. How did you find your way to the power of water and Blue Mind? ![]() The Biophilic Cities Project views water as a key dimension of the human-nature relationship.

Nichols joined Tim Beatley and the rest of the Biophilic Cities team to talk about the power of water and his new book, Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected and Better at What You Do. New York Times bestselling author Wallace J. Timothy Beatley, PhD, is the Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities & Chair of the Department of Urban & Environmental Planning at the UVa School of Architecture. ![]() ![]() ![]() His world is rocked when Tayla, an injured demon slayer is brought into his ER. Eidolon is also a demon (an incubus no less). We start off by meeting Eidolon – a passionate, honourable and dedicated doctor who runs Underworld General Hospital. There are a lot of characters, and their stories all link and play out alongside the action and it’s all interwoven brilliantly. It’s very much action-focussed, with the romance fitting into it nicely. Told in multiple POVs, the plot is complex, and very involved, so I’m not even going to attempt to go into it here, but I love that the paranormal element is a very strong focus of the book and it doesn’t fade into the background of the romance. Instead, you’re thrown straight into the action, learning about the underworld, and the creatures that inhabit it and how they interact, as it forms a part of the story, and it’s amazing! ![]() The world is not all explained in the beginning, where you read about it and have a chance to wrap your head around it and settle in before the story really starts. And I love how it’s all slowly unveiled throughout the story. The world is so all-encompassing – humans, demons, vampires and werewolves, all inter-breeding, creating an underworld full of purebred and hybrids, all with their own powers, behaviours and politics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Study groups have formed across the United States to work with the Seth Material. Other authors have written material they said was channeled from the Seth entity, especially after Roberts' death, including Thomas Massari, who founded the Seth-Hermes Foundation and said he had channeled Seth as early as 1972, and Jean Loomis, director of the Aquarian Center in Connecticut. Professor of psychology Jon Klimo writes that the Seth books were instrumental in bringing the idea of channeling to a broad public audience. The material is regarded as one of the cornerstones of New Age philosophy, and the most influential channelled text of the post-World War II "New Age" movement, other than A Course in Miracles. The words were purportedly suggested to Roberts by a discarnate entity who called himself Seth, who she said took control of her body and spoke through her. Excerpt: Part of a series onSpiritualistic topics The Seth Material is a collection of metaphysical texts dictated by the American psychic Jane Roberts to her husband from late 1963 until her death in 1984. ![]() Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What makes us who we are?
