Summary

In "Eris," Robert W. Chambers delves into the realms of myth and psychological tension to weave a tapestry that is as engaging as it is disquieting. The narrative combines elements of symbolism and rich, impressionistic prose, reflecting Chambers' fascination with the occult and the enigmatic nature of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century anxieties, the text harmoniously reflects the shifting literary context, embodying the decadent and modernist movements that question reality and consciousness while drawing on classical mythology to inform contemporary dilemmas. Chambers, an American writer known for pioneering the horror genre, often explored themes of beauty and melancholy. His extensive travels and deep interests in art and mythology significantly influenced his creations. "Eris," in particular, showcases Chambers' engagement with the philosophical complexities of conflict and desire, encapsulated through his personal experiences and observations of a world on the brink of transformation. His unique perspective illuminates the intricate dance between chaos and order, making it a significant text of its time. Readers seeking an exploration of existential themes intertwined with lyrical prose will find "Eris" a compelling and thought-provoking read. Chambers'Äô insight into human nature and the mystical elements he employs create a rich reading experience that resonates with anyone interested in the deeper questions of life and art.

    What the New Order Seeks, Reginald Must Find... 
The new vampire president and his psychotic right-hand man have been playing a dangerous game with the humans over the past six months. In the public eye, the two races appear to be at peace ... but the situation below the surface is hot enough to boil. 
And while the untrusting humans mass their defenses, vampire armies have been building to match them — with plans to exterminate the planet's current inhabitants, saving only a handful of blood slaves. 
Reginald, Nikki, Maurice, and the others bunkered in at Maurice's estate find themselves in the middle of a no-win scenario: Is it better to fight with their own kind in the vampire revolution? Or should they turn traitors — and risk extermination by the angels — in order to protect the humans? 
But just as the cold war outside is about to turn hot, Reginald's ever-expanding vampire brain reveals the existence of an artifact that could predict the outcome of the coming war … and maybe even a way to stop it. The only problem is that nobody knows where the artifact is, and when war then breaks and mass slaughter begins on both sides, it seems that time may have run out. 
Fat Vampire 5 is the biggest, bloodiest, most snack-filled installment in the Fat Vampire series so far, and sets the stage for the sixth book's epic series-ender — a conclusion so big it’ll shake the human world’s foundations.

    In this clever reimagining of a classic tale, it's up to Captain Hook to rescue his crew, escape the strange island, and stop that spoiled blood-thirsty brat Peter! 
“A masterpiece of horror, action, suspense, and high seas pirate ship battles.” JOE DAVISON, Stranger Things 
Considered a buffoon by fellow pirates, Captain James Hook is determined to avoid the gallows by leading his crew to an uncharted and mythical island. The deal was supposed to be simple: pretend to be sailors, deliver the goods, and collect payment from a mysterious client. 
But now they're on the run from a century-old vampire who looks no more than fourteen and his fang-toothed Lost Boys are hot on their trail. A voodoo priestess, zombies, and cannibalistic mermaids patrol the coast, and all are prepared to use their dark magic to keep James Hook and his crew from escaping alive. 
The Captain may just be the only one who can finally end Peter's reign of violent playtime and bloodshed. The future of America, and possibly the world, rests in the hands of the Mighty Hook!
