Anne Rice - The Vampire Chronicles Collection
by Admin free novel ebooks, Category Horror, Large Books Collection, Thrillers
By Anne Rice
7.47 MB
Anne Rice's vampires are different in several ways from classic vampires like Dracula. Rice's creatures are not affected by the usual weapons against classic vampires: garlic, crosses, and they cannot be killed with wooden stakes. Like classic vampires, most do chose to sleep in some form of coffin during the day because sun exposure can cause death/pain.
Also, during the day, most "sleep", however, this differs from "mortal sleep" as: a) they become dead bodies, and cool.gif the dawn often triggers their sleep against their will.
They need blood, but in some cases not every night (David Talbot suggests most "newborn" vampires must drink heavily everynight, himself included). Human blood is preferred as it is more nutritious, but animal blood can also be drunk.
They do not age physically (instead becoming more "statuesque" as they age, developing very smooth, white skin), and in all but a few cases, vampires younger than a thousand years old can usually be killed by exposure to sunlight or fire.
They do not possess stereotypically "vampiric" magical powers, such as changing into bats, but some of the stronger, older ones do have the power to fly. Most of them also have the power to read the thoughts of mortals and weaker vampires. They have other physical abilities: they can move very quickly (faster than human eyes can see), and possess great strength and extremely keen senses.
Very old vampires or ones who have been made or strengthened by feeding on blood that is close to the root of the vampiric mother may have additional gifts like the ability to move matter with the mind and the ability to set things ablaze by the force of will. They have many artistic talents, like singing, painting and acting, and a preternatural "understanding" of any type of problem, puzzle or machine. They also have the uncanny ability to almost perfectly mimic anything (movement, playing musical instruments, etc.).
The main characteristic of Rice's vampires is that they are all excessively emotional, sensitive, and sensual, being easy prey to intense suffering and aesthetic passions. They are usually quite attractive, even beautiful, as vampires tend to make fledglings from humans they have grown to love.
The physical changes are apparent: their eyes become luminous, their skin pale and reflective and their fingernails are like glass. Furthermore, if their hair or nails are cut, they will grow back as they were when they "died" during their sleep. As they lose all natural bodily fluids, they are unable to have children.
In Pandora and The Vampire Armand, David Talbot makes the wry comment that with his entry into the pantheon, vampires have "evolved" somewhat, as David can see spirits, while all other vampires cannot. This can perhaps be attributed, however, to David's limited control over Candomble spirits that he learned as a young mortal man.

Robert Goddard - 2 Thriller Novels
by Admin free novel ebooks, Category Large Books Collection, Thrillers
The two books here are:
1 - Beyond Recall
As he does so smoothly and so well (Out of the Sun, etc.), Goddard again creates a narrator who uncovers secrets buried in the past that cast grim shadows on later generations. Here he takes classic English mystery staples?a grand old house in Cornwall, a family fortune in dispute, murder and blackmail?and concocts an absorbing suspense novel with a modern sensibility.
Alienated from his family for some years, Chris Napier returns home to the Cornish town of Truro for his niece's wedding at Tredower House, the family estate (now a hotel and conference center) bequeathed by his adventurous great uncle, Joshua Carnoweth. Guests are reminded of an unpleasant event when Chris's boyhood friend, Nicky Lanyon, shows up at the reception to announce that his father, who was hanged for the murder of Uncle Joshua, was innocent of the deed. Nicky culminates his plea by committing suicide. In Nicky's memory, Chris investigates the 34-year-old murder case, while one mysterious woman goes after his money and another wins his heart. Goddard intricately interweaves the life stories of three generations, adding texture to the parallel plots: the love between his great-uncle and Nicky's grandmother, the moral crises of the WWII generation and Chris's own tale of 1960s rebellion. As usual, Goddard is meticulous with background details and local color, and his characters, with their good manners and dark secrets, seem to have stepped out of a Daphne Du Maurier novel. There are enough surprises in this tale of switched identities and lingering resentments to keep readers steadily engrossed.
2 - Sight Unseen
Chief Inspector George Sharp never quite believed the serial pedophile who confessed to the 1981 murder of a seven-year-old girl and the abduction of her infant sister in eerie Avebury, England. (The ancient city is home to massive remnants of a neolithic stone circle that's both older and larger than the more famous Stonehenge.) Sharp, now retired, has his dormant skepticism revived some 20 years after the fact when he receives a mysterious letter "signed" by eighteenth-century polemicist Junius claiming, in no uncertain terms, that he nabbed the wrong man. Sharp is soon back in touch with David Umber, a Junius scholar and one of three witnesses on that fateful day. As it happened, the crime scene was also where David met his future wife, Sally, the nanny responsible for bringing the two girls--and their older brother--to the historic site. Sally was forever traumatized by the horrendous turn of events, and David remains haunted by her subsequent suicide--or might she have been murdered? Together and separately, David and Detective Sharp pursue a slew of shifty characters, creeping ever closer to the truth. International best-seller Goddard (Borrowed Time, 2005) renders crisp prose and a crackling plot with plenty of ingenious twists. Recommend him to readers of Rendell and P. D. James.
