In a hidden sanctuary in the Canadian Rockies, Anton Weiss’s vampire descendants continue to stay one step ahead of their Grand Father’s murderous rampage. As their former affluent society continues to collapse, they are joined by other family refugees, and during the fight to survive, Gilles is pushed to his physical and mental limit, while Mark and Mina become pawns in a vicious game that has existed for centuries. But what game? And why? The answer remains elusive, until a collection of ancient books reveals a possible key to the vampires' survival.

Blood Ancestral
As the survivors of Anton Weiss's massacre gather in California, Mark and Gilles set out in search of their murderous ancestor. Their journey takes them to the British Isles, then south into Europe and the city of Marseilles. However, as they cross the Mediterranean and arrive in North Africa, not only are they betrayed by Weiss, they also discover the reason behind his murderous mission. In the heat of the desert, surrounded by horror, Mark has no choice but to bow before the halls of his dead ancestors. He emerges with a gift — a new, undeniable strength. But as the final battle with Weiss approaches, will it be enough?
Horror in Space
In sharp contrast to many 1960s science fiction films, with idealized views of space exploration, Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) terrified audiences, depicting a harrowing and doomed deep-space mission. The Alien films launched a new generation of horror set in the great unknown, inspiring filmmakers to take Earth-bound franchises like Leprechaun and Friday the 13th into space. This collection of new essays examines the space horror subgenre, with a focus on such films as Paul W.S. Anderson's Event Horizon, Duncan Jones' Moon, Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires and John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars. Contributors discuss how filmmakers explored the concepts of the final girl/survivor, the uncanny valley, the isolationism of space travel, religion and supernatural phenomena.
Blood Paternal
Anton Weiss, father of all vampires, returns from a long, mysterious sabbatical and swears genocide on his entire family. His letter of intent is abrupt, its reasoning unclear, and consequently his descendants choose to ignore the threat, and assume their beloved creator has simply gone mad. Until the slaughter begins. Unprepared and caught by surprise, the survivors are forced to leave their sanctuaries and forge new, hasty alliances in a desperate bid to protect themselves. But can they stop their revered ancestor? And whom can they trust? In the struggle to survive, Gilles and Mina are joined by Mark, an enigmatic and vengeful newcomer, who was tortured and left for dead by one of their society's powerful Elders. Subsequent events suggest the three have been brought together for a purpose, but one that proves elusive. But when loved ones are threatened, and companions begin to die, enemies must become friends, and for Mark in particular, that might also include the man who brutally murdered him.
Beautiful, Broken Things
Travel to the shores of an alien sea where the search for pearls may cost more than expected. Experience the early days of Viking exploration to the New World, and learn why they didn’t stay. Meet those things that hide in the darkness of attic rooms, the shadows beyond the fenced-in yard, the narrow confines of the kitchen pipes, or even right out in the open beneath a warm summer sun. Learn to be wary of lost children, the kindness of strangers, or even the promises of those you trust. Enjoy the beauty of the sea, the lush growth of greenhouse roses, the love and longing of family, and even the fondness of old memories. “Broken things can be useful, even beautiful…” But they can also be dangerous.
Dark

Alice has no other choice but to accept John De Grasse’s help, and soon finds herself immersed in a world of inter-dimensional terror and deadly intrigue. Meanwhile, following the catastrophic events of a year ago, Emma remains in hiding, while John is left to deal with the fallout and re-establish the supernatural community’s decree—Guard the secrets, keep the gifted ones close. But at what cost? There have been so many deaths, so many irrevocable losses. And yet, despite the dangers, the forbidden dimensions offer unimaginable treasures and there are those who will stop at nothing to reach them. Some doors should always remain closed, but after the grimoire’s discovery, opening them is becoming all too easy.
Blood Revival
They thought it was over. After a desperate, climactic battle, everyone assumed their genocidal Grand Father was dead, and they could forget that terrible night and rebuild their lives. But in order to defeat a monster, one of them had to become a monster. Mark Gannon was given the task of putting a stop to Anton Weiss’s killing, and in doing so was changed irreparably. While in pursuit, he stumbled upon a secret in the African desert that revealed their true origins and explained why a beloved ancestor had panicked and resorted to mass murder. Disgraced and exiled, after he failed to destroy Weiss completely, Mark and his friends returned to the desert to keep watch over the tomb of their strange forebears, only to discover that one of them was in the early stages of regeneration. Two years have passed, the House is rebuilt, and the exiles are due to return. But what will they bring with them?
