Allure of the Vampire: Our Sexual Attraction to the Undead by Corvis Nocturnum

$19.99

The mere mention of vampires used to be enough to make people think of a nocturnal predator. But over the centuries the vampire has changed from monstrous villain to sexual object, for both men and women alike. Allure of the Vampire examines our intimate attraction to these beings in a detailed manner.

Now, join occult author Corvis Nocturnum as he reveals the fascinating evolution of this icon as it has lured and enticed us in folklore, film and books from the days of ancient civilization to the living breathing inhabitants of our modern subculture, the vampire community.

     

Embracing the Darkness: Understanding Dark Subcultures by Corvis Nocturnum

$17.95

Author Corvis Nocturnum brings you an unprecedented collection of Satanists, vampires, modern primitives, dark pagans, and gothic artists, all speaking to you in their own words. These are people who have taken something most others find frightening or destructive, and woven it into amazing acts of creativity and spiritual vision. Corvis himself is a dark artist and visionary, and so it is with the eye of a kindred spirit that he has sought these people out to share their stories with you.

A Mirror Darkly
by Corvis Nocturnum

$16.95

Corvis Nocturnum, author of the well received Embracing the Darkness; Understanding Dark Subcultures, brings you his personal collection of essays penned from years of observing his fellow man. Few authors since Nietzsche or LaVey have so vehemently rallied against societal, religious and governmental hypocrisies, laughable shortcomings and failings. Sharply critical of apathetic bottom feeders and thoughtfully introspective, Corvis forces us to look at the creature that stares back at us from the abyss.

 

The Vampire Ritual Book
By Michelle Belanger

The Vampire Ritual Book was originally commissioned for use within the Sanguinarium. Although many of the seasonal rites later appeared as calendar dates in the Vampyre Almanac, the rituals themselves were never widely distributed. In 2003, a limited-edition was prepared for print, but these rare books were circulated only to a very few. This book is a reprint of the 2003 limited edition. The only changes that have been made have been for formatting. Otherwise, the text retains all the details and terminology of the original. 160 pages, trade paperback.
