Shade Of A Blood Moon

A vampire in hiding. The assassin sent to kill her. A rogue witch seeking to destroy them both.

"...There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars...Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:25a, 28 It is rare that Scripture, science, and history align with each other, yet the last three series of Four Blood Moons have done exactly that. Are these the "signs" that God refers to in His Word? If they are, what do they mean? What is their prophetic significance?

Has the final countdown to the end days begun? Are the heavens telling us we are nearing the end? Astronomers have noticed it is coming. Historians have noted its significance. In 2014 and 2015, there will be a phenomenon in the skies of four blood moons falling during Jewish feasts. This has only happened three times in recorded history: 1493-94, 1949-50 and 1967-68. Each time these dates have had extraordinary significance for the Israelites. From the discovery of the New World to the creation of modern-day Israel, these years of the four blood moons have truly been turning points in history. Bible prophecy describes the moon being darkened and turned to blood. What is the significance of these signs in the skies? What will the future bring? Prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock guides you through the relevant Bible passages so you can understand the times in which you live.

This collection of interconnected essays relates the Undead in literature, art and other media to questions concerning gender, race, genre, technology, consumption and social change. A coherent narrative follows Enlightenment studies of the vampire's origins in folklore and folk panics, the sources of vampire fiction, through Romantic incarnations in Byron and Polidori to Le Fanu's Carmilla.

The rise of the sympathetic vampire is charted from Coppola's film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight.

Featuring distinguished contributors, including a prominent novelist, and aimed at interdisciplinary scholars or postgraduate students, it will also appeal to aficionados of creative writing and Undead enthusiasts. www.opengravesopenminds.com

Think about the last time you went to a circus and all the amazing tricks that you saw. Did you ever say to yourself, "How did they do that?" or "How is that humanly possible?" There is a little secret. The performers of Dunning Family Circus, like many others, are not human. They are supernatural. They are also members of NACOS or the North American Council of Supernaturals. This is an organization put in place to govern, maintain, and uphold the laws designed for all magical beings. There are three branches of NACOS--the warriors, the council, and the Grand Council. Kailie Dunning is in charge of the DFC chapter of warriors consisting of vampires, werewolves, fae, Nephilim, and a witch. Shortly after the show is set up and ready, Kailie, who performs in the circus with Tivo, her magical unicorn, is told of missing girls in Ybor City, Florida. Her new team of warriors decide to go out together one night, only to find one of their own has gone missing. Can this group of powerful individuals put clues together to find the missing girls and solve the case before opening day of the circus?
