A rock 'n roll hellride of hilarity and humanity, Unholy War follows the cataclysmic clash between the high-spirited, hard-rocking vampires of Hollywood and a brutal, bloodthirsty cult of Old World zealots out to convert -- or kill -- any vampire who doesn't see things their way. Inspired by 80's rock 'n roll like L.A. Guns, over-the-top action films such as Desperado, and the profane comedy of classics like Clerks, Unholy War tosses the usual angsty brooding and trembling romance out the window and instead treats you to a skull-smashing story of defiance, friendship, and standing up for what you believe in. Told through the eyes of Steele -- a tough, streetwise old vampire who sings in a glam rock band -- Unholy War introduces you to immortals both powerful and playful, loyal and loving, tender and treacherous. These aren't the usual cape-clad cardboard cut-outs or dark-eyed forever-teens... The Hollywood Vampires are -- at their hearts -- human. People who've found a city they can call home, away from the madness and prejudice that plagued them throughout the centuries... a place where they can be happy and finally enjoy their long lives. And when the Crimson Order comes knocking with an army of revenants and werewolves, looking to tell our fanged champions what to believe and restart old battles, there'll be absolute and utter hell to pay. No quarter will be given -- this unholy war is for KEEPS. Unholy War isn't about what you lose when you become a vampire... it's about everything you GAIN, and why that's worth fighting for.

Film, television and Broadway star Adrienne Barbeau and New York Times bestselling author Michael Scott have teamed up to deliver this sexy, scary, and deliciously clever novel full of Hollywood glamour, behind-the-scenes secrets, and the truly bloodthirsty reality of Tinseltown. So grab some popcorn and some holy water and lose yourself in the high-stakes, back-stabbing world of the Vampyres of Hollywood. Hollywood, California: Three gruesome deaths within two weeks and every one of them a major star - an Oscar winner, an ingénue, and an action hero. A serial killer is working through the Hollywood A-list and celebrities are running scared. Each crime scene is worthy of a classic horror movie, and all three victims share a connection to the powerful scream queen, Ovsanna Moore. The stunning and formidable Moore is the legendary head of a Hollywood studio, as well as the writer and star of seventeen blockbuster horror films (and a few that went straight to DVD). She's also a 500 year old vampyre... but this is Hollywood after all, and no one ever looks their age. Beverly Hills Police Detective Peter King knows a lot about the City of Angels, but he certainly doesn't know that most of the famous actors in town are actually an established network of vampires. Or that secretive and seductive Ovsanna Moore happens to be their CEO. Moore and King may be from opposite sides of the Hollywood Hills, but both have something to gain by stopping the killer who the tabloids have dubbed the Cinema Slayer. Ovsanna must protect her vampire legacy and her production schedule, while King just wants to keep his Beverly Hills beat as blood-free as possible. But when the horror queen and the cop with the movie star looks form an unholy alliance, sparks fly and so do the creatures of the night.

Prior to his death, legendary vampire hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, began the establishment of three unique academies to train vampire hunters. He never lived to see them completed. With his dying breath, Van Helsing uttered a prophecy that stated that one day a student would arise from one of the academies and this student would be the greatest vampire hunter of them all. To date, that prophecy has yet to be fulfilled. Ethan, a small, timid, and clumsy orphan, is seen by many of his instructors as the worst student ever to be trained by any of the academies. Few expect him live long enough to graduate let alone enter the trade. This all changes when he is the sole survivor of a group of vampire hunters that are ambushed by a vampire prince and his nest. The fact that the youth manages to survive the massacre is nothing short of a miracle. Alan Spangler is the head physician of the Van Helsing academy located at Lexington, Kentucky. After he and a group of physicians interview and observe the youth, he becomes convinced that the youth is the prophetic Chosen One and begins an investigation into the youth's background. As his investigation expands, Alan finds that there is more to the youth than meets the eye. Before the doctor can test his theory, Ethan and dozens of other hunters are sent on a suicide mission to destroy a vampire prince and his nest.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes Unholy Night, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism. They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale. In Grahame-Smith's telling, the so-called "Three Wise Men" are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. After a daring escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt. It's the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament; cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist; and finally deliver them to Egypt. It may just be the greatest story never told.

Since the publication of Dracula in 1897, Bram Stoker's original creation has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and filmmakers. From Universal's early black-and-white films and Hammer's Technicolor representations that followed, iterations of Dracula have been cemented in mainstream cinema. This anthology investigates and explores the far larger body of work coming from sources beyond mainstream cinema reinventing Dracula. Draculas, Vampires and Other Undead Forms assembles provocative essays that examine Dracula films and their movement across borders of nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and genre since the 1920s. The essays analyze the complexity Dracula embodies outside the conventional landscape of films with which the vampire is typically associated. Focusing on Dracula and Dracula-type characters in film, anime, and literature from predominantly non-Anglo markets, this anthology offers unique perspectives that seek to ground depictions and experiences of Dracula within a larger political, historical, and cultural framework.

Defying industry logic and gender expectations, women started flocking to see horror films in the early 1940s. The departure of the young male audience and the surprise success of the film Cat People convinced studios that there was an untapped female audience for horror movies, and they adjusted their production and marketing strategies accordingly. Phantom Ladies reveals the untold story of how the Hollywood horror film changed dramatically in the early 1940s, including both female heroines and female monsters while incorporating elements of “women’s genres” like the gothic mystery. Drawing from a wealth of newly unearthed archival material, from production records to audience surveys, Tim Snelson challenges long-held assumptions about gender and horror film viewership. Examining a wide range of classic horror movies, Snelson offers us a new appreciation of how dynamic this genre could be, as it underwent seismic shifts in a matter of months. Phantom Ladies, therefore, not only includes horror films made in the early 1940s, but also those produced immediately after the war ended, films in which the female monster was replaced by neurotic, psychotic, or hysterical women who could be cured and domesticated. Phantom Ladies is a spine-tingling, eye-opening read about gender and horror, and the complex relationship between industry and audiences in the classical Hollywood era.

This book provides a detailed and engaging account of how Hollywood cinema has represented and ‘remembered’ the Sixties. From late 1970s hippie musicals such as Hair and The Rose through to recent civil rights portrayals The Help and Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Oliver Gruner explores the ways in which films have engaged with broad debates on America’s recent past. Drawing on extensive archival research, he traces production history and script development, showing how a group of politically engaged filmmakers sought to offer resonant contributions to public memory. Situating Hollywood within a wider series of debates taking place in the US public sphere, Screening the Sixties offers a rigorous and innovative study of cinema’s engagement with this most contested of epochs.
