Описание: Corporate lobotomies. Psychotically amorous semi-sentient bots. Endless corridors. Countless unlabeled doors, all viciously locked. A lethally dysfunctional social infrastructure rife with corruption, inefficiency, and crime. Spiraling homicide rates... Welcome to your corpulent, overpopulated future Here, everyone loves you, because everyone wants to screw you before they sell your living body to illegal pharmaceutical tumor-farms, which are also a popular method of suicide, because death-by-tumor is not as bad as many (though it is also worse than some).In this world, a much-hated dumbass-of-a-scientist long ago determined the universe would always expand faster than the pace of technological advancement. The result? Every human being on the planet knows nobody will ever, ever, ever (three evers) bust free of this crappy solar system. Combine this discouraging news with an ever-lengthening lifespan, and you get fifty-billion dysfunctional, bored-out-of-their-mind psychotics with nothing better to do than fixate on you as the object of their destruction. Good luck, and have a nice day

Описание: I heard the call, the tone of it teasing, a broadcast chorus of incessant singing amid devilish choirs of insidious patter, the dry rasping of scales and portentous matter to cast shadows of sounds among us that must listen, beyond maddened distraction, inaudible vision. For I heard the call, the lies of it pleasing, then I followed it blindly where it would lead me. Beyond death and disaster through ranges of never, I learned listening is ruin and blindness is error. I cursed blackness of bruises, I despised the tender of capital expenditures and I as the lender. I heard the call, and I hated its message, for pipedream pursuits earn the wickedest of blessings, and the laziest among us are perhaps the smartest. The happiest of our number is the unhappy artist; they too quickly learned how nothing is of matter - not the singers, not the choir, not the subject of the patter.Often, the most popular modern poetry demonstrates a determined morbidity, and many of our most beloved poets perished by their own hands. Doing so, they left behind countless keepsakes of grief, but I will not label their passage as 'tragic'. I believe a martyr's suffering demands happy witness. Otherwise, why hang upon a cross?

Описание: On Friday of Easter weekend in Juglan, Texas, many strange events distract from the festivities. Telephone service is sporadic and failing. Fires burn out of control. Police services are nonexistent. The dead and the dying accumulate on the streets. Before the village's clocktower chimes midnight, many of its citizens will perish and the city, itself, will lie in flaming ruins.This is the terrible revenge of Nelson Sedgewick. For years preceding this heinous act, he has brooded within the ramshackle ruins of his lifelong obsession, his self-styled "Animal Emporium and Family Fun Circus". An unlicensed roadside attraction presenting animal performances during a period of declining support for such displays, the Emporium is emblematic of the pathological disconnect between reality and Sedgewick's mad dreams. Deceived by the grandeur of his visions and his own misplaced self-confidence, the would-be ringmaster invested heavily in his enterprise before it inevitably failed, and now he blames the village for his ruination.Tonight, he will exact retribution with his army of demented circus animals, all of them recently starved, beaten and conditioned to crave human flesh. City parks will crawl with deadly serpents. Its waterways will team with ravenous reptiles. Its alleys will be the haunt of stealthy leopards, and roving packs of enraged hyenas will prowl its streets. Tonight, Nelson Sedgewick and his Animal Emporium will redefine 'family fun'.

As an added bonus for fans of the TV series, Blood Bank includes the actual screenplay for "Stone Cold," the episode Tanya herself wrote for the Blood Ties series along with a special introduction by Tanya, detailing her own experiences with the show.

Описание: It began with a dazzling vision of the sun. And for Henry Fitzroy, that was the worst vision of all. Sunlight never features high on a vampire`s list of daydreams. But for Vicki Nelson, P.I., one hallucinatory vampire hardly warrants a drop-everything-case, even if they were sometimes lovers. Or so she thought at the time.

Описание: It began with two bodies. Different locations, same cause of death. Vicki Nelson, P.I., knew right off that it wouldn`t be a straightforward case. The silver bullets found at the scene were a pretty big clue. Vicki is on the trail of an assassin hell-bent on wiping out Canada`s last remaining werewolf clan.
