ampires
and werewolves; phantoms and
■V phantasms: looming out of the fog leaps the
1^
menacing spectre of the lycanthrope, ghoul
or blood-crazed zombie. Intrigued by some of the
most sinister, yet at the same time most compelling,
legends of western civilization, Gregory L. Reece dusts
down his stake and crucifix, loads his silver bullets
and takes off into the wilds in search of answers and
fresh adventures. Rummaging around in crumbling
tombs and cobwebbed sarcophagi, his latest quest
leads him into the haunted realm of the dead and
the undead: of those carnivorous, nocturnal hunters
that might perhaps better be left undisturbed. Why,
he asks, is our culture obsessed by the eerie and the
macabre? Why, despite its horrors, does the dark side
of the supernatural
-
its
séances
and ghost-hunting,
demonic possession and the occult
-
call to us with
such dangerous allure? Whether tracking night-
stalking werewolves, chanting black magic mantras
with Satanists, or interviewing a funereal modern-
day Count
Dracula,
Reece is determined to uncover
the truth. A wry exploration of a secret and secretive
subculture, Creatures of the Night is at the same time
a bold and startling journey into a wraithlike world
that has so often seemed to lie beyond the limits of
rational comprehension
-
until now.
Gregory L. Reece is an independent Alabama-based
writer and scholar with special interests in new
religious movements and cult beliefs. His previous
books include Elvis Religion: The Cult of the King
(2006),
UFO Religion: Inside Flying Saucer Cults
and Cultures
(2007)-
and Weird Science and Bizarre
Beliefs
(2008),
all published by I.B.Tauris.
A fascinating journey into the dark forests of our
imaginations and through the haunted castles of our
deepest fears
