Vrykolakas Stories

Corcitura. Some call it hybrid, others half-blood, mongrel, beast. They are all names for the same thing: vampire—the created progeny of the half-wolf, half-vampire, barb-tongued Grecian Vrykolakas, and the suave but equally vicious Russian Upyr. Corcitura: this is what happens when a man is attacked by two vampires of differing species. He becomes an entirely new breed—ruthless, deadly, unstoppable…almost. London, 1888: Eric Bradburry and Stefan Ratliff, best friends since childhood, have finally succeeded in convincing their parents to send them on a Grand Tour of the Continent. It will be the adventure of a lifetime for the two eighteen-year-old Englishmen, but almost from the moment they set foot on French soil, Eric senses a change in Stefan, a change that is intensified when they cross paths with the enigmatic Vladec Salei and his traveling companions: Leonora Bianchetti, a woman who fascinates Eric for reasons he does not understand, and the bewitching Augustin and Sorina Boroi—siblings, opera impresarios, and wielders of an alarming power that nearly drives Eric mad. Unable to resist the pull of their new friends, Eric and Stefan walk into a trap that has been waiting to be sprung for more than five hundred years—and Stefan is the catalyst. Terrified by the transformation his friend is undergoing, Eric knows he must get Stefan away from Vladec Salei and Constantinos, the rabid, blood-crazed Vrykolakas, before Stefan is changed beyond recognition. But after witnessing a horrific scene in a shadowed courtyard in Eastern Europe, Eric’s worst fears are confirmed. Six years removed from the terror he experienced at the hands of Salei and Constantinos, Eric finally believes he has escaped his past. But once marked, forever marked, as he painfully begins to understand. He has kept company with vampires, and now they have returned to claim him for their own.

In modern culture, vampires are creatures that are terrifying and alluring at the same time. Using charm and charisma perfected over hundreds of year, the vampire is able to reach into our deepest fears. Humanity has always been afraid of what it does not understand. Throughout our existence, myths and legends have reflected our feelings, beliefs and misunderstandings. More often than not, these stories have represented the complexity and profundity of our ultimate fear... Death. While death is part of the natural process of life; our lack of understanding of the death process has generated extremely powerful fears. One of the psychological problems of our consciousness is the recognition of our own mortality and our inability to stop it. People resist the door of death; but ultimately, we know that we have no choice but to allow it in. This fear has spawned tales of the undead, creatures trapped between worlds in nearly every ancient culture; while they may sound different at times, these myths are all re-tellings of deep-rooted superstitions that have changed slightly to fit different times. One of the most frightening myths of the undead that has haunted our imaginations is that of VAMPYRES. Before Dracula became a literary character, tales of undead creatures and blood drinking were shared as part of oral traditions by the Babylonians, the Greeks, and the Romans. Our fear of vampyres is as old as time itself, it is almost primal. But how much of what we fear today bears resemblance to the fears solicited by vampires of early history? To answer this question, we will first need to understand the vampire origins and its evolution through time.
