  This full-cast performance of Dracula offers a new way to experience Bram Stoker's seminal vampire story, which follows Abraham Van Helsing's efforts to track down Lucy Seward after she becomes the victim of Count Dracula. Originally written by Irish playwright Hamilton Deane, this stage play was the first authorized adaptation of the 1897 epistolary novel Dracula. Beginning a tour in England in 1924, it was then revised by American writer John L. Balderstone for a Broadway production that opened in October, 1927, featuring Hungarian-American actor Bela Lugosi in his first English-language role. Balderstone's revision would become the basis of the 1931 film adaptation, also starring Lugosi. The play was revived in 1977, receiving the Tony Award for Best Revival and leading to the 1979 film, both starring Frank Langella.

  Hunter is just getting used to life as a vampire detective when he begins developing a remarkable new ability - one that none of his fellow agents at The Order have ever witnessed. 
  While he tries to control this new power, Hunter, his lover, Kai, and fellow agents from the Dallas bureau are summoned to San Francisco, where there is evidence a project to mutate ordinary citizens into human-animal hybrids has resumed. 
  What Hunter learns about his true self could help in tracking down those responsible - and could put his comrades in mortal jeopardy. 
  Praise for West of Nowhere: 
  McPherson's style awakens old world vampire stories and entwines them with mystery/thriller overtones, making the resultant narrative decidedly unique... West of Nowhere weaves a wealth of supernatural fantasy components together, interlacing them with themes of belonging and regret into one intense, fast-moving story. --The BookLife Prize 
  Fans of The Dresden Files or The Southern Vampire Mysteries (but with more edge and less camp) will find a lot to enjoy here. It's fast, it's dark, and it leaves you with just enough unease to keep the lights on at night. (Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan)

  THE MUCH-AWAITED SEQUEL TO “A GHOST FOR A CLUE” 
  With the help of NASA, a computer glitch, and a ghost, Bram Morrison, a robotics engineer, may have given science a new means to put death on hold. But despite the new landscape he’s opened up, the Great Beyond is still territory with no solid ground for science to stand on. 
  Still helping Torula Jackson, a biologist, realize her dream of studying what happens to consciousness after death, Bram risks his reputation, future, and ambitions by revealing his growing belief in the bizarre. Despite his modifications on the Verdabulary software that has helped ghosts reach out to the living, it will take more than apparitions in 3D glass chambers to convince scientists and doctors that the afterlife exists. When the ensuing research ends up with more questions than answers, trouble brews for all the souls still fighting for a foothold in the afterworld. 
  Can souls really persist indefinitely in crystal storage devices called willdiscs? What about Franco, Bram’s recently deceased friend, can he help provide answers? These and more mysteries unfold in A Ghost in a Bottle, the second book in the IMMORTOLOGY series—a bold blend of hard science fiction and the supernatural.
