Exploring the supernatural


Vampires and werewolves are in a world of their own, the world of the supernatural and, admit it or not, many of you are "bewitched" by the unknown. Now there are some who might fear the thought of the unexplored, but still are attracted, at least somewhat, to its exotic side. In other words, given the chance, most of us could get wrapped up in a good paranormal book about the demons of the other world that can be fascinating with their excursions into uncharted ways.

The vampire, which is the archetype of the supernatural, evolved into its own out of the industrial revolution when the population in Europe was redefining itself. In most cases the vampire is cast as villainous, according to By Light Unseen, but in some cases it can be the antihero, as I have done in my new novel, Nymphomania Bloodlust, to be published this month. Please look for it on Amazon.com and ask for it in your bookstores.

My antihero is Amy Rogers, an Arizona housewife, through whom you experience the transformation of a beautiful, sexy young woman into the monster that creates havoc throughout the metro Phoenix, Arizona area. She must, for her master, eliminate targeted Arizona politicians and some of the ways she employs are diabolical but sometimes comical. She's joined by a snowbird from Chicago who becomes her werewolf partner in the political carnage.

Next, I am going to review one of those not well know authors of vampire lore, but one who deserves promoting.

I can handle exploring the supernatural in fiction.
As long as no one tries to present it as real, and as long as we don't talk about Twilight.

5. The best vampire story I ever read

Was a short one by my friend, Doug, about a vampire named Murray terrorizing a small European village unable to fight back because their crucifixions had no effect on him due to his being Jewish. He finally tried to attack a young lady who was wearing a Star of David necklace. He fled to the countryside and climbed a tree to recover. He still needed to feed though and was happy to see someone standing close to the tree he was in. Unfortunately for him, he died attacking that person as it was actually a scarecrow. He staked himself tackling it.
