| A friend of mine is a writer of kick-ass novels of the paranormal, and one of hers, called Darkling, has a vampire (one of three half-human half-fae sisters). I don't think they're published in the UK, but they're published by Berkeley over here, and I heard they'd sold German and French translation rights. See http://www.galenorn.com/ |

Good site ... thankyou Jenny
The books are available on Amazon, but I'd have to check out Waterstones or Borders to see if they are available there, but I'm presuming they will be

It's been a while, but I've looked out more of my vampire stuff to share with you all.
The Blood Fetish by Morley Roberts (1857 - 1942), Roberts states he was inspired by an incident which happened to him while living in Africa. It is the tale of a severed hand that resorts to vampirism in order to sustain itself.
Other titles by Roberts include:
The Adventures of the Broad Arrow (1897) - set in the Australian outback
The Colossus (1899)
The Degradation of Geoffrey Alwith (1908)
The Serpent's Fang (1930)
The White Mamaloi (1931) |

The Golem was so good, that it has been used by several films and also, oddly, by Marvel Comics (if memory serves). I'll have to go and look it up, but I am certain it was an old Captain America comic that used the story.

An interesting point.
If someone is dead but still wandering about, does sleeping with them still count as necrophilia. I would argue that it did because they are still dead (in the sense of not being alive), but on the other hand they are not strictly dead either (in the sense that they have active senses).
Does being animated by Evil Powers post-mortem make you less dead? |
