THE STORY OF "THE CHOSEN ONE" WAS INSPIRED AS MUCH BY ACTUAL FOLKLORE ABOUT VAMPIRE SUPERSTITIONS THAT EXISTED IN EARLY NEW ENGLAND, AS IT WAS BY THE ICONOGRAPHY THAT HAS DEVELOPED IN FICTIONAL DEPICTIONS OF VAMPIRES IN FILMS LIKE MURNAU'S "NOSFERATU" OR BROWNING'S "DRACULA", WHICH WAS DEVELOPED AFTER A SUCCESSFUL STAGE PLAY. IN SUSAN SONTAG'S BOOK "ILLNESS AS METAPHOR" SONTAG POINTS OUT THAT EARLY TALES OF VAMPIRES WERE OFTEN DERIVED FROM SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESSES THAT EXISTED AT THE TIME LIKE TUBERCULOSIS. TUBERCULOSIS IS OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS A ROMANTIC ILLNESS IN NOVELS AND ART BECAUSE OF THE DELUSIONS AND RAVINGS IT PRODUCED IN THE SICK, WHICH OFTEN TIMES WERE THOUGHT TO BE THE RESULT OF A VAMPIRE ATTACK. ONCE THE ILL PERSON WAS DECEASED A COMMON PRACTICE THAT WAS SANCTIONED BY THE COMMUNITY WAS TO BURN THE HEART OF THE PERSON TO BE THOUGH A VAMPIRE. FILM HAS MADE FAMOUS A FICTIONAL VERSION OF THE VAMPIRE STORY BUT THE TRUE ROOTS OF THE LORE EXIST IN EARLY CULTURE AND SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT ILLNESS AND IT'S CAUSES. "THE CHOSEN ONE" SEEKS TO MESH THESE TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES OF VAMPIRE CULTURE INTO ONE MYTH BORROWING FROM BOTH ACTUAL ACCOUNTS DOCUMENTED IN NEW ENGLAND HISTORY AND FICTIONAL MOVIE INSPIRATIONS PRESENTING A UNIQUELY TWISTED FILM VISION. PART FACT, FOLKLORE AND FAIRYTALE THE ATMOSPHERE IS SATIRICAL, SERIOUS AND HORRIFING.

Dark Regions Press is proud to announce our brand new book, "The Impossible Casebook of Sherlock Holmes" by Daniel McGachey. As you're probably aware, a Sherlock Holmes movie is coming out. Well, while you're waiting for the film, or if you just can't get enough of Sherlock Holmes, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of The Impossible Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. Here's a look at the cover:
In these recently discovered accounts, sealed and hidden from prying eyes for almost eighty years, Dr. John H. Watson puts pen to paper once more, as he accompanies his friend, that most rational of detectives, Mr. Sherlock Holmes in the utterly irrational realm of the otherworldly, the uncanny, and the supernatural.
Enter the gaslit world of Holmes and Watson - a world caught halfway between the bright glare of science and logic and the darker clutches of superstition and fear - a world of unknown creatures, secret seances, ancient curses, and forbidden knowledge - where the enquiring mind of the world's first consulting detective must search for the answer to some new and challenging questions...
This book is a must for any true Sherlock Holmes fans. Even if you're new to Holmes, you'll find this book incredibly engaging and won't want to quit reading until the very last page. Just to make it even more enticing, I'm going to t
“Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me”
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if a simple snow flake can amaze you ,if the simple things in nature have a message you understand,
