Produktinformationen zu „The Golden (ePub)“
In the mid nineteenth century, vampires gather at Castle Banat, one of their most sprawling and ancient warrens. Their five-hundred-year breeding project has produced the Golden, a mortal of perfect blood, and they've come to drink from her in a ceremony that will incidentally make her one of the Family. When the girl is found murdered, the clan's shadowy patriarch calls on the detective Michel Beheim to solve the crime. But Michel has been a vampire for only a short while, and though he was a talented investigator among mortals, he is ill-prepared for the task. Soon he is fighting to survive the bizarre terrors of the labyrinthine castle and the schemes of vampires who guard a secret that may forever alter the world of the undead.The Golden won the 1994 Locus Poll Award for Best Horror Novel.
Autoren-Porträt von Lucius Shepard
Lucius Shepard is a prodigy, that is, a big guy you wouldn't want to cross. He's also the deserving recipient of many prominent science fiction and mainstream awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, International Horror Guild, and World Fantasy awards, and the National Magazine Award for Short Fiction, among others. His fiction, journalism, and commentary have appeared in Playboy, Spin, Omni, Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Ellen Datlow's Event Horizon and SciFiction online magazines. Far from being a writer of merely escapist adventure, Shepard uses the fantastic in his stories to amplify cultural perspectives and psychological relationships. A giant dragon, for instance, can only be slain by the lifework of an obsessed artist; an infamous Nazi villain performs Dr. Moreau-like experiments in the South American jungle; a Western ghost and Nepalese house spirits join a battle that decides the outcome of a love affair—Shepard finds metaphors that are unique and yet as familiar as the most universal dreams and nightmares.
