FAIRFAX, Va., June 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ever wonder what a real vampire would be like? The mental picture people have of them have been colored by books and films on Dracula or blockbuster movie adaptations like Interview With the Vampire. But is that really how the undead are? Roger Lhooms gives a different portrayal of vampires in his graphically intense novel BEFORE.
BEFORE strips away all the misconceptions about the blood-sucking, sunrises, religious icons, and tepid role play. It ignores all the false literature, the so-called traditions dating back to Dark Age ignorance and the first time the corpse of a decomposing plague victim eerily sat up in its shallow grave - due to rigor mortis and the gases building up inside it from putrefaction. Within the pages of BEFORE one might find an answer. Not an answer that will encourage the mystical allure of the eternal undead, but an answer nonetheless.
Find out what a true vampire really feeds on - and how. Find out why they are never caught, and why no one ever sees them. Know why it is almost impossible to destroy one and why so many fall victim without society having a clue.
