Dracula Terrorizes Seattle

About the Book

Down through the ages, people have been fascinated by horror stories! There had always been mystical stories of the spilling of blood, like blood sacrifices to the gods for a good harvest or the consumption of blood from a warrior to gain the dead warrior’s strength. Look no further than our own Bible. Look at Cain and Abel, the Aztec, Toltec, Inca, and many of the Central and South American tribes. A person walking past a narrow alley in the daytime will give it a quick glance and think nothing of it. But add the darkness of a late night or a sudden wind or a sudden noise or a shadow upon the wall and have that same person walk past that same alley, and he will conjure up within his mind all kinds of things hiding in that alley. Many people are fascinated by eternal life and staying young forever. As an example, look at the money we spend on makeup to camouflage our age. A vampire can accomplish staying young forever by drinking the blood of the living. It is the ancient ritual of consuming the blood of the living to extend one’s life or to absorb virility, strength, and youth of the one that was killed. There are stories that have been handed down through the ages about the existence of vampires in the Far East, like China and Japan, all over Europe, but mostly in Eastern Europe, particularly in Romania and Bulgaria.

About the Author

I have developed this passion for writing. I have written three books of love poems, prose, and three short stories. I won first place and had my award-winning poem published in the Texas Love Poets Society yearly handbook. I have always been captivated by science fiction and the possibility of extraterrestrial life out there somewhere. So I thought I would try my hand at writing a science fiction story and combine it with adventure. My wife and my daughter first gave me the idea to write this story. I am somewhat of a dinosaur in today’s world. I have six adult children—of which two are adopted, four of my own, and a teenage daughter by my wife of forty-one years. I have twenty-one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
