'SHIFTING SHADOWS FROM DARK DOMAINS' by Adrian Francis Fox'Her futile words were stillborn, her question unanswered and never to be answered as she became rag-doll limp, her unplanned and all-too-rash romantic liason rapidly becoming something sour and twisted, giving truth also to the age-old advice of being wary of strangers, to 'look before one leaps', to be always on one's guard, for the night is the time when one should be the most wary and most guarded, of all....'The unexpected and all-too-late realisation of one who could not detect the fiends who walk among us, chilling our souls and stealing our blood, the fifteen stories here detailing and exposing the many and varied ways of the vampire, in unnatural life and unnatural second death.You, the reader, will cringe to their empty, mocking laughter, death dealt out or experienced in many ways, also, these night people urbane, shallow, sensitive, soulless, provocative, lonely, amusing, spiteful, or all too normal, the scenarios in which they are to be found ranging from First World War shellholes, underwater, riding on Sixties scooters, suburban bedrooms, or visiting London clubs and places of amusement, such as waxwork museums and funfairs...These are the Damned, touching and distorting the lives of mortals with icy flesh, corrupted breath, heinous words and razor-sharp fangs, faith in religeon or 'trusting to luck' useless options, as 'the living' fall and die beneath their dark, cryptic spell. Take care to say your prayers and check your window, under your bed or even inside your wardrobe, before you eventually decide to turn out the light...
