INTERMISSION BEFORE CHAPTER TEN and RANDOM POST!

By -

Greetings from everyone's favorite vampire.

I will be posting Dark Resurrection, Chapter Ten: The West Road in around a week, it was originally part of the first book and I have reintegrated it. Hopefully the prose is not too rough; I have not read nor done any work to the remaining chapters in nine years. I have given it a cursory reread and have made some minor corrections, but being one's own editor is a tough row to hoe.

Please feel free to critique, and point out any errors in grammar, spelling and so forth; if there is something you don't like, perhaps it should be changed. 

Or - make a random post - but keep it PG rated; thanks.

Anyway, this section of the book deals with Jesus and the Magdalene's trip to Rome, with the vampiric pair plying the highways at night, slaughtering thieves, highwaymen, thugs and other vermin as they go, filling their bodies with warm blood and their bags with cold metallic currency. The objective for the trip is to establish citizenship for the family in Tibernum, so that when the census is taken the Chrysippus clan is on the roster. The pair meet many people along the way, a destitute woman and her children, a kindred spirit on the highway north of Rome, and on the return trip they meet a Christian evangelist preaching on the Acropolis in Athens, standing near the entrance of the Parthenon.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy and have enjoyed reading of Vampire Jesus and the Magdalene's adventures. I had originally intended for DR to be a series of books leading from the First Century of the Common Era to the present day. Somewhere I have shorts and notes on the passing of his parents, and of their friend and slave Cyril, who lives to be 109 years old and even on his deathbed refuses to be brought to the realm of the undead. Also is the tale of his little brother Julian Marius Chrysippus, now a grown man married to the daughter of their neighbor Marcus Pertinax, her name Divia Marcella. As a teenager Julian was made aware of the secret of his vampiric brother and aunt, and understands why they must disappear from Tibernum before their true natures are suspected.

Other shorts are the bringing of Decius, the man who nailed Jesus to the cross, to the realm of the undead, as he lay dying on a battlefield in Germania, when Jesus and Mary come across him, while scavenging warm casualties for the remaining blood in their veins. Another is the mistake of Jesus bringing none other than Muhammad Ibn Abdullah to the vampiric realm, who reveals he is an insane monster who wants to make a muslim vampire army to conquer the world. Needless to say, at the urging of the vicious and pragmatic Magdalene, Jesus is forced to dispatch him with an oak stake to the heart as they were walking along, listening to the deranged babbling of a raving, murderous madman. 

Also is the series was Joan of Arc, and a time where Mary left Jesus for around 100 years, joining a convent and becoming Mother Superior, as abbess Maria Magdalena.

Another is the creation of the vampire Cesare Borgia, the debauched popemaker, at the age of 31. 465 years later, in 1972, he runs a junkyard in Secaucus, New Jersey, and is a good friend of Jesus, his master. Jesus loves cars, specifically Lincoln Continentals, straight vodka that he consumes by the gallon, Marlboro Menthol cigarettes, and television, especially Petticoat Junction (he has a thing for Meredith MacRae) and Star Trek. Mary prefers huge, 440 powered Imperials and single malt scotch (tannin in the liquor doesn't bother her like it does Jesus), Winstons and she loves the NBC Mystery Movie, especially McMillan & Wife, likening herself and her looks to Susan Saint James. She also enjoys Split Second, a car giveaway game show with Tom Kennedy.

Alas - they will never be written; no time, no incentive, and my age - that's the way it goes. Again, I thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of Dark Resurrection.

Some Infamous Guns of History

Assassinations of national leaders and other high-ranking politicians and celebrities are not only history-making events, they are also history-changing ones as well. We can only speculate at what history would have looked like had these public figures had not been murdered, but for better or for worse, history was definitely altered. Here’s a list of the weapons used in some of the more infamous history-altering public and/or political killings (the official versions anyway); the photos are of the actual weapons used: Wogdon .544 dueling pistols - These pistols were used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton during their famous duel on July 11, 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death.   Philadelphia .41 Derringer - Used by John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Bulldog .44 revolver - Used by Charles Guiteau on President James Garfield on July 2, 1881.   Iver Johnson .32 revolver – Used by Leon Czolgosz on Pr

The Bridge: Suicide Isn't Painless

By -

The theme song to the 1970 movie MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." It isn't, in ways I will try to explain. First of all, let's look at the act itself. Many suicide attempts are horribly botched. I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere
