  Vlad The Impaler Dracula - Bram...

  Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula, was a ruler of Wallachia (now part of modern-day Romania) in the mid-15th century. He is perhaps best known for his brutal methods of punishment, including impaling his enemies on stakes and displaying their bodies as a warning to others. This earned him the nickname "Vlad the Impaler" and a reputation as one of history's most ruthless leaders. 
  Vlad was born in 1431 in the city of Sighisoara, Romania. He was the son of Vlad II Dracul, who was a member of the Order of the Dragon, a group established to protect Christianity from the Ottoman Turks. Vlad spent much of his youth in captivity in Hungary, where he was held as a hostage by the Ottomans. 
   
  In 1448, Vlad returned to Wallachia and took the throne from his rival, Vladislav II. During his reign, Vlad was determined to defend Wallachia against the Ottoman Empire, which was seeking to expand its territory in Europe. He engaged in a series of wars against the Ottomans, and his tactics were often brutal. 
   
  Vlad's most infamous method of punishment was impaling, in which a victim was skewered on a stake and left to die slowly. This method was not unique to Vlad, but he was known to use it frequently and with great enthusiasm. He would often impale hundreds or even thousands of prisoners at a time and display their bodies on the outskirts of his cities as a warning to others. 
   
  Despite his brutal reputation, Vlad was also known for his devotion to his people and his efforts to modernize Wallachia. He implemented a strict legal code and worked to improve trade and commerce in the region. He also established a system of orphanages and hospitals to care for the poor. 
   
  Vlad's reign came to an end in 1462, when he was captured by the Ottoman Empire and imprisoned for several years.

  The Book of Demons, the much-anticipated sequel to The Book of Souls, finds Jack Kelly in the fight of his life. This time, he's not battling ghosts. His nemesis is the shapeshifting necromancer, Mr. Philips, who inhabits both the world of the living and the world of the dead. 
  Ghost-touched teen Jack Kelly returns in this polished urban fantasy/horror sequel to Moore’s The Book of Souls. At times an intriguing mystery, at others a chilling thriller, The Book of Demons offers a sensational stroll through the hustle and bustle of an inventively paranormal version of 80s New York City. Jack’s development throughout is an adventurous, if spooky, coming of age story that will thrill and at times scare readers of classic urban fantasy and YA series... — Booklife Reviews 
  When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it…including murder. 
  Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who understands the painting’s tremendous power and would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it. 
  Along with two unexpected allies—a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun—Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves.
