Lot of 3 Vampire Books-Fiction and True Story!!

Description: This is a mixed lot of 3 books on the subject of Vampirism. Vampire Vow in a PB by Michael Schiefellbein. In nice condition, very lightly read. It sounds like a very different take on vampires."Michael Schiefelbein, after spending ten years studying for the priesthood, graduated from the University of Maryland with a doctorate in English. He is a professor of writing and literature in Memphis, TN.An interview with Michael Schiefelbein author of Vampire Vow"I wanted Jesus. That's how it started. Yes, the Jesus they built a religion on, the one they say rose from the dead." With this opening sentence, it becomes immediately clear that this is not a typical novel, and by the time you have raced through the remaining 213 blood-soaked, terrifying pages, it is clear that Vampire Vow is not a typical vampire novel either.Victor Decimus is perhaps the most horrifyingly amoral creature of the night ever created, and yet in Michael Schiefelbein's skilled hands he is almost as attractive as he is repellent. Combining sex, religion, and blood lust is a tricky business and not for the faint of heart, but as we discovered from our conversation with Vampire Vow author Michael Schiefelbein, he knows whereof he speaks: Alyson: Your novel violates quite a few taboos-the sex-religion combination, the subject of Jesus' sexuality, vampires and Jesus-I mean, you have a man falling in love with Jesus and becoming a vampire to spite him. Are you nervous about reactions?Michael Schiefelbein: Like crosses burning on my lawn? The thought has crossed my mind, especially here in the Bible Belt. But I strongly believe in a real, human Jesus who might have been gay. Who knows? And to me, the ultimate tribute you can pay someone is to desire him, body and soul. In terms of sex in the novel, it's appropriate. Victor, the protagonist, is a ruthless, passionate Roman guard who uses sex to assert his power. He's not admirable for that, but his fury with depictions of Jesus as otherworldly and asexual is justified. Victor certainly exploits the Church by posing as a monk and pretending to play according to the monastery's rules. But he also brings some flesh and blood-no pun intended-into spirituality.Alyson: So the idea of Jesus as a lover isn't blasphemous to you?MS: Some of the great Christian mystics saw him that way-St. John of the Cross." WOW!! Erotica Vampirica-31 Tales of Supernatural Desire-edited by Cecilia Tan. PB in almost new condition. "From Back Cover: Erotica Vampirica brings together four darkly sensuous anthologies edited by the reigning queen of vampire erotica, Cecilia Tan, under one cover. Totaling thirty-one short stories in all, this may be the ultimate authority on the all-too-human passions of the undead. Beginning with the delicious seductions of Blood Kiss, flowing into the dark sensuality of Erotica Vampirica (which lends this volume its name), visiting next with the intensity and cruel tenderness of Cherished Blood, and coming to a wolfish conclusion with the four tales of animal passion that are The Beast Within, this steamy anthology promises to leave you trembling through countless sleepless nights." The Embrace-A True Vampire Story by Aphrodite Jones. HB w/DJ in lightly read condition. The DJ has edge wear and light yellowing on outside edges. "A chilling inside study of a teenage vampire cult examines the vicious murders of Rick and Ruth Wendorf by Rod Ferrell, a high-school classmate of the Wendorfs' daughter and the self-proclaimed leader of the "Dark Army," who killed the couple as part of a nightmarish human sacrifice." These are a curious mixture or Genres but I found it fascinating. Please check out my other listings. Thx
