Nancy A. Collins

    10. září 1959

    Nancy A. Collins se proslavila svými hororovými romány, zejména sérií o upírce Sonje Blue. Její dílo se často noří do světa mytických bytostí známých jako Předstíraní, kteří se skrývají mezi lidmi, aby lépe lovili. Collins také prozkoumává temnější stránky Jihu v oceňovaných povídkách a novelách z prostředí Southern Gothic, často zasazených do fiktivního Arkansasu. V posledních letech se věnuje sérii Golgotham, která vykresluje New York jako nadpřirozenou enklávu, kde se folklórní stvoření potýkají s lidským světem.

      Jsou součástí tohoto světa Kdykoli lidstvo vstoupilo na nová území, vždy se strhl zápas o rovnováhu mezi objevitelskou vášní a vykořisťovatelskou chtivostí. V éře kolonizace vesmíru je vzrušení z dobrodružného odhalování nových zázraků zkaleno hrůzně reálnou možností setkání dvou odlišných druhů, do té chvíle oddělených světelnými roky vzduchoprázdna; objevitelské opojení může velmi rychle vystřídat krutá noční můra nemilosrdného boje o nadvládu. Lidská hamižnost a arogance pomohla rozšířit hrozbu vetřelců do všech koutů vesmíru - nyní vše závisí jen na odvaze mužů a žen, kteří se pokusí zvrátit budoucnost galaxie a zabránit nastolení Věku vetřelce!

That very same night, Sonja Blue, a tough-as-nails punk vampire/vampire-slayer, conceived in terror and blood, is borne from the city's gutters. Saved by modern medicine before she could die, she is a living vampire who still possesses a soul and is determined to fight for what remains of her humanity. In the years since her bizarre resurrection, Sonja Blue travels the globe, hunting down and disposing of those creatures that prey on the innocent while searching for the vampire Noble who created her. But when she investigates a sleazy televangelist named Catherine Wheele, who is exploiting Denise Thorne's parents, Sonja finds herself up against a powerful inhuman adversary. But as dangerous as Catherine Wheele proves to be, Sonja's greatest foe remains the Other, the demonic personality with whom she is locked in a constant battle for control of their shared body. Can Sonja Blue overcome her inner demon in time to rescue an innocent man from Catherine Wheele's unholy clutches?

      Blood invasion

      Years ago, Drakulon--a planet of living vampires, where it rains blood instead of water--was faced with a terrible drought. So they sent Space Scouts out into the cosmos to search for a new home--one where blood was plentiful. The bravest of these volunteers was the beautiful and bold Vampirella, who found herself marooned on a strange new world--one called Earth. Unable to return to her home, Vampirella sets about making a new life for herself on a planet where all other vampires are undead creatures born of evil. Over the years, she becomes famous as a monster hunter and defender of the weak and powerless. She even finds friendship and, for a time, love. But, one day, the skies of Earth fill with spaceships as Vampirella's people, led by General Orlok, finally arrive on the only other planet in the universe where blood flows as freely as it did on Drakulon. Vampirella is, at first, delighted to be reunited with her long-lost love, Tristan, and eager to help her people make a new beginning on her adopted home-world. But when she rebels against General Orlok's dark plans for Earth, Vampirella is branded a traitor and made a political prisoner until she escapes with the help of her sworn enemy, Count Dracula! Together with her best friend, the were-woman Pantha, Vampirella must put aside her hatred of monsters as she fights alongside an unholy rebel army compromised of witches, the living dead, and Dr. Frankenstein and his patchwork creations, in order to save not just the human race, but the Earth itself!Because, as they say: The enemy of my enemy is my friend
