Beschreibung

In "The Lady of the Shroud," Bram Stoker weaves a captivating tale that melds elements of gothic horror with romance and adventure. Set against the backdrop of a mysterious Caribbean island, the novel explores themes of isolation, identity, and the supernatural. Stoker employs a varied narrative style, utilizing letters, diary entries, and third-person accounts to create a multifaceted viewpoint that enhances the tension and atmosphere of the story. The book is notable for its rich characterizations and vivid descriptions, while also incorporating elements of colonial intrigue, reflecting the anxieties of late Victorian society regarding the unknown and the exotic. Bram Stoker, famed for his iconic work "Dracula," wrote "The Lady of the Shroud" in a period where the fascination with the supernatural was at its peak. His extensive travels and interests in folklore and mysticism profoundly influenced his writing. Stoker's personal experiences and academic pursuits in literature and history provided him with the depth to craft narratives that entertain while probing the darker aspects of human nature. Recommending "The Lady of the Shroud" is to invite readers into an enigmatic world that brims with suspense and emotional resonance. Fans of gothic literature and those seeking a poignant exploration of love in the face of moral uncertainty will find themselves enthralled by Stoker's masterful storytelling.

    Before Bubba Ho-Tep, there was Bubba and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers. 
    Part of a secret government organization designed to protect civilians, Elvis Presley and a handful of hardcore warriors set out to save the world from an invasion of hive-minded, shape-shifting vampire-like creatures from a dark dimension who have taken up residence in a New Orleans junkyard.  
    Besides Elvis, among these righteous warriors is a hammer-wielding descendent of John Henry of railroad fame, a blind man who sees more than those with sight, Jack, a strategic wizard, and Elvis’s right hand man and journal writer, Johnny, all thrown in with Raven (real name Jenny) a female recruit who is also a budding pop star, and like Elvis, high on the charisma chart.  
    Their leader is none other than Colonel Parker, Elvis’s cutthroat manager, and a warrior himself, directly in contact with President Nixon, or possibly one of his doubles. 
    It’s an unnerving peek into a secret world, and a possible delusion. It’s what happened before Elvis, aka Sebastian Haff, found himself in an East Texas rest home, mounted on a walker, fighting an Egyptian mummy and worrying about a growth on his pecker.  
    Strange monsters, wild fights, sex with a beautiful ghost, a drug-induced trip into another dimension, and all manner of mayhem ensue, along with a Mississippi riverboat ride on a giant paddle wheel, and of course, there will be 3D glasses, fried peanut butter and ’nanna sandwiches, and a few hard-working zombies.  
    Bring the kids, but plug their ears and blindfold them. This is one wild and nasty ride to the dark side, but with laughter.

    "Why can't you," asked his uncle. 
    "Do you think he's the Necromancer?" asked Blake.

    "You planning to come out as dead are you?" asked Lance not threatening just stating a fact the father of the Necromancer was Mortimer the grim reaper, King. 
    "I am not going to be around for that," said Blake planning a holiday in hell when Lance came out as the Necromancer a serial killer. 
    "Where are you going?" asked Blake's Uncle. 
    "Never you mind," said Blake.

    "Didn't think of that," said Simon. 
    "I'll do it," said Lance defiantly thinking how much of a problem it would be to his father.
