The Last Vampire: The Strange Legend of Mercy Brown
St. Patrick's Day 1892, Exeter, Rhode Island: It wasn't over when she died. Prying her coffin open two months later transforms Mercy Brown into legend. The Last Vampire is based upon her incredible true story. They don't kill 'em like they used to. Mercy Lena Brown is 19 the first time she dies. The third in her family to mysteriously perish in rapid succession, after her mother and oldest sister. And when Mercy succumbs, her brother is also dying. To save the remaining family from their killer requires drastic and unspeakable action. The New England vampire panic lasted from the late 1700s through the 19th Century. History has forgotten exactly when it started, but the precise moment the panic ends, however, is documented in history, and in the pages of this book. It spread across the region, terrifying New Englanders who exhumed graves seeking to purge the vampires lurking among them. Archeological discoveries in recent years have unearthed some of these desecrated graves, confirming persisting rumors and sketchy myths lasting a century since. This is the terrifying true story of its final days. Only one can be the last. Caution: This is based on historical facts which may be disturbing to some, including cannibalism and scenes of a sexual nature which, although neither graphic nor explicit, may make some readers uncomfortable. Don't say I did not warn you!
Un fulgor en la oscuridad
Extensiones infinitas, fósiles vivientes y virus marinos... Una cautivadora inmersión en los océanos del planeta de la mano de una joven bióloga marina que comparte su experiencia con el entusiasmo del mejor explorador. El mar es nuestro ecosistema más sorprendente y desconocido; ha viajado más gente al espacio que a las profundidades del océano. Detrás de algunos enigmas submarinos, como la inmortalidad de las medusas, el lenguaje de los delfines y el ciclo vital de los mosquitos marinos, subyacen los hallazgos más recientes sobre nuestro entorno y nuestra propia especie. Julia Schnetzer, apasionada investigadora, comparte esos nuevos conocimientos e insiste en el peligro que los plásticos y el calentamiento global suponen para los océanos, nuestra mayor fuente de oxígeno. Propone así, en esta obra, una fascinante inmersión informativa en los océanos del mundo.
