Synopsis

'Tales of Vampires & Werewolves' is a meticulously curated anthology that emerges as a crucial intersection for the exploration of gothic horror and supernatural fiction. Spanning across centuries and continents, the collection showcases a rich tableau of stylistic diversity from macabre historical narratives to eerie folkloristic tales. These pieces collectively trace the evolution of vampiric and lycanthropic lore within the literary panorama, gracefully weaving the palpable tension and dark ambiance that define the genres. The anthology's standout feature is its ability to encapsulate the essence of fear and intrigue through multiple lenses, embracing a spectrum from the primal terror of the unknown to the sophisticated dread of the morally ambiguous. The anthology benefits immensely from the profound backgrounds of its eclectic mix of authors, each contributing uniquely to the overarching theme of supernatural horror. From the Gothic romanticism of Polidori to the adventurous exoticism of Burton, and the psychological horrors penned by Le Fanu, every story is steeped in cultural and historical contexts that enrich the narrative depths. The collection does more than entertain; it serves as a mirror reflecting the societal anxieties and ethical questions of the eras represented, offering a comprehensive look at the literary movements that shaped the genres of horror and supernatural fiction. This anthology is an indispensable resource for those who wish to immerse themselves in the depths of gothic horror and supernatural folklore. It invites readers to traverse eerie landscapes and dark, twisted pathways through time and mythology. 'Tales of Vampires & Werewolves' not only educates but also entertains, providing a broad spectrum of insights and dialogues crafted by pioneering voices in literature. It is essential reading for anyone keen to explore the thematic complexity and artistic breadth of horror through a collection that both honors and transcends its genre boundaries.

    “Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up.”—Jonathan Maberry 
    To be dead, or not to be dead… 
    In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up—to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. 
    When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark—condemning the troupe’s “unnatural” lifestyles—Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you’re in serious trouble…. 
    Before his way of life, er, death is destroyed, Dan wants answers. Along the way, he needs to provide security for a mummified madame, defend a mixed-race couple (he’s a vampire, she’s a werewolf) from housing discrimination, and save his favorite watering hole, the Goblin Tavern, from drying up. Throw in a hairy hit-man and a bank robber who walks through walls, and Dan Shamble’s plate is full. 
    Maybe this time the zombie detective has bitten off more than he can chew… 
    “A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale.”—Kelley Armstrong 
    “Sharp and funny; this zombie detective rocks! Loved it!”—Patricia Briggs 
    “An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained.”—Charlaine Harris

    "The Profound - Part 2" is the second volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, has no aspirations to become a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as a doctor from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers called the Cymdeithas. This doctor takes him in and aims to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where magic is as real as a supermarket in the Ordinary World, and where evil is just as real and brutal as the good is humorous and powerful. 
    During his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. 
    Manus Braith's novel introduces readers to a spiritual, magical world where enlightenment is approached in a unique way. Sometimes uproariously funny, at other times profound and contemplative, but always with a captivating drive that enthralls and leaves one longing. Clearly not a book for the dull, legalistic, or those who have given up on dreaming. However, it is undoubtedly a book for readers who have always felt that something is missing but could never quite put their finger on what, where, and how... 
    Fun and excitement are guaranteed. The individual volumes of the story seamlessly blend into each other, weaving a world that refuses to let go easily.
