Northern Frights
Review by The Jabberwock, submitted on 15-Oct-1992

"Northern Frights" (Don Hutchison, ed.) 1992. Oakville, Canada: Mosaic Press. Northern Frights is a just released anthology of Canadian horror/dark fantasy with contributions by several famous and not so famous Canadian authors (Tanya Huff & Charles de Lint to name two).

Several stories centre around vampires, there are a couple of werewolf stories, and a whole lot of stories that take place during the winter (geez, are we really THAT cold?). Most of the stories are quite good, although (like any anthology) there are a couple of duds. It's a hardcover, selling for 19.95 Looneybucks.

I'm not sure if it's eventually going to come out in paperback or what it might cost in the States. I'm pleased with the purchase however.

Alp Vampire (Germany)

An Alp may be a creature originating from German folklore. It is sometimes related to a vampire, but it's behavior is more like that of the incubus. It's victims are often female, and it usually attacks during the nighttime, controlling dreams and creating horrible nightmares.

Dreams

Everyone dreams, yes you and me
We dream of lives wild and free
Full of mystical beings and more
Will it hold mystery, magic, or gore
You never can tell what a dream will be
Just close your eyes and you will see
Dreams are there to calm the soul
To mend your body, to make you whole
Dreams you dream can take you away
To dance where unicorns and pegusi play
Remember your dreams as best you can
Picture the beach and warm, golden sand
Dreams are there to set you free
Among the clouds or rippling sea

Al-Fayed calls royals a "Dracula family"

February 18, 2008 (Reuters / Paul Majendie) -- Luxury storeowner Mohamed al-Fayed said on Monday the death of Princess Diana and his son Dodi in a 1997 Paris car crash was murder and accused the royal family of wanting to "get rid" of Diana. In an emotional appearance at the inquest into their deaths, al-Fayed accused Prince Philip of being a "Nazi" and a "racist."

Tomorrow Would Never Come

As I lay in the velvet night
He came to me...
He showed me what seduction is
He showed me how to be free

He kissed me softly on the neck
Sent shivers down my spine
And as he let the beast take over
He said, "Now Dear you shall be mine."

He pierced the skin and drank from me
As fear dawned in my eyes
As Pain soon turned to pleasure
The passion dimmed my cries

I woke again with the hunger in me
My heartbeat like a drum
I drank from him and knew the future
I understood at last,
