TRUE VAMPIRES: Past and Present - by Sondra London

TRUE VAMPIRES: Past and Present - by Sondra London

Illustrated by Nicolas Claux, 'The Vampire of Paris"

Some vampires are not fictional creatures. This book examines the real vampires and cannibals whose crimes have contributed to the fearsome mythos. TRUE VAMPIRES takes you into the minds of real blood-sucking and flesh eating killers from Romania and Russia, France and Wales, Brazil and South Africa, to the hills of Kentucky and the streets of Los Angeles. This book is a collection of the most extreme cases of vampirism and cannibalism known to mankind - Killers portraits throughout the book were painted by Nicolas Claux, 'The Vampire of Paris.'

Included in this deeply disturbing study of vampirism and cannibalism are:

Armin Meiwes, Manuela & Daniel Ruda, Peter Kurten, Rod Ferrell, Issei Sagawa, Natasha Cornett, Fritz Haarmann, Kyle Hulbert, Matthew Hardman, Ed Gein, Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, Henry Lee Lucas, Albert Fish, Big Lurch, Arthur Shawcross, Ottis Toole, Andrei Chikatilo, Richard Trenton Chase, Nicolas Claux, Vlad the Imapaler and many others.

"Sondra London knows her vampires - not the fictional ones that spring full-blown from the heads of novelists but the genuine articles, the real vampires who kill and suck blood and leave a scarlet trail of terror in the night. This book is her best." ----Jack Olsen, author of, Son: A Psychopath and His Victims

"Vampires exist! They've been among us for centuries, and they're hiding in plain sight today. Sondra London proves it beyond a reasonable doubt in this incredible work of investigative reporting, historical sleuthing and forensic interpretation. This is a frightening, fascinating page-turner that drives a stake into the heart of disbelievers, turns true crime into literature and somehow even humanizes the hideous criminals who are driven by a bloodlust they can't control." ---- Burt Kearns, author of, Tabloid Baby

"Covering every aspect of a darkly fascinating subject from myth and folklore to history and psychology, TRUE VAMPIRES is at its unnerving best in revealing the existence of the monsters among us; those real-life beings possessed by an unslakable thirst for human gore. Sondra London has produced a classic of the genre." ----Harold Schechter, author of, A to Z of Serial Killers

DARK STAR: The Satanic Rites of Gilles de Rais - by Various Authors

DARK STAR: The Satanic Rites of Gilles de Rais - by Various Authors

The spectre of Gilles de Rais the satanist child-killer, eclipses French history like a 'dark star'. A fallen general, once the champion of Joan of Arc, whose experimentations in cruelty led him through the very Gates of Hell.

His obscene crimes and decadent aristocratic glamour have created an enduring legend of mythic proportions. This collection of essays, quotations, excerpts and fiction from some of the most famous authors in recent centuries evoke a chilling portrait of one of the most sinister figures in the annals of European history and mass murder.

After Joan of Arc was captured, Gilles de Rais fled to the safety of his castles in France where he began a steady spiral downwards - one of his first murders was committed in the presence of the sadistic sorcerer Prelati - in Prelati's chambers in the castle - Gilles seized a young boy and slashed his throat - from that moment on he had found his one true passion in life - the torture and murder of children - and where ever he went, children would disappear, never to be seen again - the final number of his victims will never be known but some say it could be as high as 800 deaths....

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibal Culture - By Mikita Brottman

MEAT IS MURDER! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibalism - By Mikita Brottman

Violent death, murder, mutilation, eating, defecation, ritualism and bodily extremes - cannibalism combines all or many of these themes to represent one of the most symbolically charged narratives in the human psyche's repertoire.

As a grotesque figure of power - the cannibal has played a formidable role in all cultures throughout history from earliest times - oral, written, films etc. - It embodies the ultimate extent of transgressive behavior that a human being can be driven to.

MEAT IS MURDER ! is a unique and explicit exploration into cannibalism, from classical myths and early primitive natives to contemporary films, fiction and real-life modern age cannibals like Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo - and features an in-depth study of cannibalism in the cinema from mondo and exploitation films to horror and art house movies. Includes Film Index.
