A major problem with vampire bats is that whatever information exists is scattered throughout the literature or is not recorded. There are some excellent books on the ecology and biology of bats with very little on vampire bats. This volume fills that gap to provide an in-depth presentation of these unique animals.

An authoritative new history of the vampire, two hundred years after it first appeared on the literary scene Published to mark the bicentenary of John Polidori’s publication of The Vampyre, Nick Groom’s detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers, political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as a monster embodying humankind’s fears, to that of an unlikely hero for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first century. Drawing on literary and artistic representations, as well as medical, forensic, empirical, and sociopolitical perspectives, this rich and eerie history presents the vampire as a strikingly complex being that has been used to express the traumas and contradictions of the human condition.

Alexandra is an attractive and educated middle-aged woman who has a big problem: she has never been satisfied with her life. She feels something is missing. Could it be that she has always wanted to be a vampire? Alex knows vampires exist, but has never met one until a dark handsome man begins to stalk her, entering her reality by speaking to her granddaughter, Marie, in her dreams. Who is this man and how does he know so much about her? She is intrigued and irritated by him at the same time. She feels that this is it, what she has been waiting for, and this man will finally bring the happiness she has been lacking. After several attacks and the need to be healed, slowly Alex becomes a vampire. Granted she feels and looks great, but this is not what she had hoped for! Alex quickly learns that she traded one set of issues for another. As she watches her son become a vampire and her granddaughter being terrorized by demons in her sleep, she realizes what she has done to the people she loves. Nature's Shadow is the first book in a series about this vampire clan. Sondra McKay taught at universities for nearly twenty years. Born on the East Coast, she grew up on the West Coast, and now lives in the Midwest. She believes, "Writing is the best and cheapest therapy there is."
