  We love control.  The ability to predict and organise our lives as we want them. As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.

  Christmas Eve 1975, two innocent handy men are summoned to Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, New York, faced with the seemingly innocuous task of fixing a boathouse door. There is no way that Owen Blake and Randy Hallowell can possibly know that an ancient malevolence awaits them; a preternatural entity older than time, bent on the destruction of all living things; that the owners of this house, and others on this now infamous avenue, have stepped into an inescapable nightmare and will soon be thrown into their own macabre dance with death.  
  In the next few hours Owen and Randy will encounter the living dead, be assailed by ungodly, gross abominations of nature, and eventually come face to face with the Amityville Horror, unleashing a rampage of unfathomable events, demonic spirits and a force of darkness beyond all comprehension -- a savagery attempting to literally tear them apart, limb by limb, and rip the very life force from their torn and wounded bodies.  
  If they survive, it will change their lives forever.

  Vampirismus or Aurelia - An...

  Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffman was born on the 24th January 1776, the youngest of three children, in Königsberg, then in Prussia but now part of the Kaliningrad Russian enclave. 
   
  His parents separated when he was two and for many years life was to be provincial and, despite his talents for the creative arts and the classics, much was passing him by. 
   
  At 20 Hoffman obtained employment as a clerk and to the art that now surrounded him.  Two years later he was in Berlin attempting a career as a composer with an operetta called ‘Die Maske’.  His gift for drawing caricatures and sharing them often got him into trouble that was easier to avoid. 
   
  The years of Napoleon ravaging Europe were bad for Hoffman; he moved often and took on works as varied as theatre management and music critic.  In this his talents were now more evident.  His works on Beethoven where highly regarded by the master himself. 
   
  His literary breakthrough came in 1809, with ‘Ritter Gluck’, about a man who believes he has met the composer 20 years after his death.  However the various jobs and the wars continued and plagued any career advancement despite his constant travel for opportunities, often through dangerous territories. 
   
  In the wake of Napoleon’s defeat in 1814, Hoffmann returned to Berlin where his opera ‘Undine’ was performed by the Berlin Theatre.  Life was now more settled and many of his most famous works were written at his time. 
   
  From 1819, Hoffmann was struggling with both legal disputes and ill health.  Alcohol abuse and syphilis were physically weakening him and from 1822 paralysis set in.  His last works were dictated to his wife or to a secretary as all around him society descended into an anti-liberal agenda, stifling dissent with threats of legal action and even treason.  The ailing Hoffman was among them. 
   
  E T A Hoffmann died on the 25th June 1822 in Berlin of syphilis.  He was 46.

  Get w*sted, get l*id, and get the f*ck over it. 
  That’s my friend Braxton’s motto when it comes to life’s trickiest problems. So, when my cheating fiancée leaves me just months before our wedding, he comes up with a simple plan to help me get over her: go to the club, hit on the hottest chick I can find, and take her home. 
  But, it isn’t Braxton’s life on the line – it’s mine. And when he departs early with a prize on his arm, he leaves me stranded at the bar. 
  Alone. Broken. Vulnerable. 
  Nothing is as it seems at the club, either. Tucked away in an alley, hidden behind a nondescript steel door, The Rabbit Hole harbors plenty of secrets. The blonde bartender is irresistible, the drinks are to die for, and no one misses you when you’re gone. 
  One night buddied up to the bar will change my life in ways I could never imagine when I find myself in Wonderland. 
  I should have stayed home.
