Theatre of the Vampires

 




Vampire bats trapped in a crate break out and escape on the stage of an old majestic theatre. They bite the maintenance; man, he bites back absorbing the power of the forbidden blood. In the process he befriends one of the bats who teaches him how to be a vampire. How to fly, become mist or all those other things monsters do.

 Telepathic creatures, the King Vampire Knows what’s been done so he assembles his army to extract revenge for the death of the prince and reclaim the sacred blood, of the ancients. Make things right and bring order back to the planet.

 Pretending to be human the maintenance man and his coworkers carry on as normal. Doing the kinds of things that theatre workers do. Giving the viewer a sneak peak of what daily life is like behind the scenes working in a theatre.

 All the while preparing for the unavoidable battle with the wicked king and his army of monsters. Their coming and nothing can change that. Creating a one-way path of death and destruction. As they make their way to the theatre of young vampires.

 This story has something new and interesting every time you turn around. Never boring or a dull moment. It has comedy, tragedy, and horror.

 

What sets this story apart?


Surprises from beginning to end. This is not your typical Vampire story. Metaphorical at its best, the telepathy abilities between the Vampire bats are quite unique. It gives a creature besides man dominion over the earth. When a human absorbs the sacred blood, the world is thrown into chaos as the balance of power shifts.

Because of a freak accident. You have these humans who are now Vampires running this Magnificent old beautiful theatre. Bumbling around trying to figure out what has happened to their world.

 With different types of events happening every night, the viewer gets a behind the scenes glimpse of what it would be like to work in the theatre.

And then there’s the General. What a cool pet.

 The only bat to survive the freak accident. Old as he is wise. Teaches the others how to use their new powers. As they prepare for an invading army of monsters that are coming to get them.

With so many unexpected scenes you never know what will happen next, as this web of delight unfolds before you. There is no predicting how the story will end. And just when you think it’s safe to go outside you realized no it’s much, much, worse.

And of course, the back drop is a beautiful majestic old theatre. Loved by thousands as a place of wonderful memories. When word gets out, we are filming there it will spread like wild fire. Press and social media alike. People will want to buy a ticket just because…..

No Word of a Lie

 


No Word Of a Lie:

A completely accurate account of the last 185 years, told through the eyes of the worlds oldest Galapagos tortoise


'No Word Of a Lie' is a comic novel recounting the last one hundred and eighty-five years of history told through the eyes of Jonathan, the world’s oldest Galapagos tortoise. Based on historical fact, his life has been a cavalcade of incident but perhaps due to his advancing years he is a reptile with a tendency to confuse the truth at times, though his heart is always in the right place.In this collection of memoirs he recounts the stand out incidents that have shaped his long life on earth. From his encounters with Hitler in an Austrian zoo, to meeting Charles Dickens in a boozy dockside tavern. Inventing the sick bag whilst taking part in the maiden flight of the Wright Flyer, to being arrested for sitting on an Alabama bus with Rosa Parks. And of course there is his ill-fated appearance on Blue Peter in the 1970s, when he soiled the studio floor.But as well as being a history of the past 185 years told by someone who’s lived it 'No Word of a Lie' is also a meditation on the ageing process. A frank and honest account of the lessons one learns, the clothes from the eighties one must avoid wearing again, and the importance of true love and real friends. A story that is shared before the restaurant bill finally arrives and Death presents him with the true cost of living, a price that means he can at last hibernate in peace for an eternity...hopefully.

Heal Thyself

 



Here are three stories of broken men. Cuckoldry, childhood abuse, murdered parents. Ben, Nick, and Jason have all been dealt bad hands at one point, leading to present lives they would change if they could. When they are offered a chance to use the past to fix their futures, they grasp it. Who wouldn't do that? Would you partake of that last offered cup, no matter whose hand held it? 

These are stories of the dark costs of these choices. Isn't it true that nothing in life is free? At least, not the things we truly desire. Just ask Ben, a meek graphic designer caring for his brain damaged wife, who escapes into a past that grants him the power he lacks in the present, or Nick, a popular children's TV host who believes his own dark hungers can be stamped out before they begin, or Jason, whose life as a middle-aged hardware store clerk .would be so much better if only his parents had never been murdered ...

Whether it be Liverpool, Glasgow, or Las Vegas, dark forces keep watchful eyes on those that can be tempted, ready to offer those in need of a chance to fix things, to make things right. Some people might ask the cost of a chance like that. Others, like Ben, Nick, and Jason, don't.




Note: this is a VERY dark book, as other reviewers have noted. It is NC17 adult horror, NOT PG13, and the content has been described as "disturbing" and "hard to read" because of that.

The Ghost Ninja of Hong Kong Island


LOADED WITH HEART, MIND-BLOWING ACTION SEQUENCES, AND FIGHT SCENES

“Lukas Krueger delivers with his explosive debut novel, creating a piece of art that fans of:

The Karate Kid, Kill Bill, Jack Reacher, and James Bond are sure to adore. The Ghost Ninja of Hong Kong Island is truly a visual feast of entertainment with unforgettable characters and story”

NATASHA REMMER - THE BOOK RIOT

Hong Kong should have been a fresh start for Brandon Willis, a place to escape the war raging inside after the death of his father. But when Brandon witnesses a gang-related murder, a global crime boss by the name of Johnathan Zhang employs the services of Yuma Shibisaki: an evil Japanese assassin who possesses dark and paranormal talents.

With a bloodthirsty assassin hot on his tail, a Chinese hit squad, and a corrupt Police force

Brandon soon discovers his only ally is Kaiden Chan—a boozy chain-smoking police inspector who harbors dark demons of his own. Kaiden and Brandon retreat underground when the streets become too deadly, seeking refuge at a local martial arts school run by Elizabeth Chan: a fierce young woman who is unable to turn her back on the past.

When Kaiden's history collides with Brandon's present, the trio is dragged into further chaos by Johnathan Zhang, a corrupt North Korean general, and an unlawful arms trade involving millions of dollars worth of weapons, ammunition, and troops.

Once the conspiracy is exposed, Brandon, Kaiden, and Elizabeth must not only evade the cruel and dark pursuit of Yuma Shibisaki, but avert an international crisis that will unleash war on Hong Kong.
