Nancy A. Collins

    10 settembre 1959

    Nancy A. Collins è celebrata per la sua narrativa horror, in particolare per i suoi romanzi di vampiri con protagonista Sonja Blue. Il suo lavoro si addentra nel regno degli esseri mitici conosciuti come Pretenders, che si nascondono tra gli umani per cacciare meglio. Collins esplora anche gli aspetti più oscuri del Sud degli Stati Uniti in acclamati racconti e novelle Southern Gothic, spesso ambientati in un Arkansas fittizio. Più recentemente, si è concentrata sulla serie Golgotham, che immagina New York City come un ghetto soprannaturale dove creature del folklore coesistono con disagio con l'umanità.

      Vampirella

      Blood invasion

      Years ago, Drakulon--a planet of living vampires, where it rains blood instead of water--was faced with a terrible drought. So they sent Space Scouts out into the cosmos to search for a new home--one where blood was plentiful. The bravest of these volunteers was the beautiful and bold Vampirella, who found herself marooned on a strange new world--one called Earth. Unable to return to her home, Vampirella sets about making a new life for herself on a planet where all other vampires are undead creatures born of evil. Over the years, she becomes famous as a monster hunter and defender of the weak and powerless. She even finds friendship and, for a time, love. But, one day, the skies of Earth fill with spaceships as Vampirella's people, led by General Orlok, finally arrive on the only other planet in the universe where blood flows as freely as it did on Drakulon. Vampirella is, at first, delighted to be reunited with her long-lost love, Tristan, and eager to help her people make a new beginning on her adopted home-world. But when she rebels against General Orlok's dark plans for Earth, Vampirella is branded a traitor and made a political prisoner until she escapes with the help of her sworn enemy, Count Dracula! Together with her best friend, the were-woman Pantha, Vampirella must put aside her hatred of monsters as she fights alongside an unholy rebel army compromised of witches, the living dead, and Dr. Frankenstein and his patchwork creations, in order to save not just the human race, but the Earth itself!Because, as they say: The enemy of my enemy is my friend

      Upon the death of his beloved Uncle Calvin, a young Jonah Padgett makes his way to Sag Harbor with nothing but a letter of introduction and a strange amulet shaped like a dolphin. He signs on to the whaler Absalom, under the command of his uncle's old friend, Captain Solomon. Upon rounding the Horn, the crew hears stories of a sperm whale said to be as big as a mountain with skin as black as a bible, and in command of a harem of a hundred females. Captain Solomon wagers that his crew will be the one to make its fortune hunting down the elusive "King Jim." But when the Absalom signs on the native called Koro as a harpooner, the ship is beleaguered by inexplicable disappearances and horrific death, which pits shipmate against shipmate. While trying to clear his friend of suspicion, Jonah finds himself adrift in a fantastical world filled with dolphin-like merfolk and nightmarish were-sharks, endangered equally by inhuman creatures from the ocean's depths and human fear and superstition, his very life at the mercy of something as old and mysterious as the sea itself.
