A Portrait of Elga

My latest book "The Watch" is now being posted on WattPad, chapter by chapter. This is a published work and "A Portrait of Elga" is my next novel - a horror story that reveals the true history of the vampyres. You see, the image of the Vampire (yes there is a difference in the spelling) as a semi-dead, coffin-boxed creature with fangs that can be killed by a stake through the heart, is an invention. The Vampyres invented it. It is a distraction, something to turn you away from the truth. The truth? It begins somewhere in darkest Africa. The Goddess of the Moon, the first vampyre of recorded history, came from the cradle of creation into ancient Egypt to give birth to the Scorpion King, the first Pharaoh. Their kind spread north into Europe to feed upon the burgeoning populations of the humans. Like the Vampyres, humans share the most vital, the most sacred and the most spiritually powerful essence of all life--blood. Only those humans with a deep understanding of the occult fully appreciate the power of blood. This one understanding, for example, was the power behind the Nazi Reich. Now the true Vampyres are revealed in a tale that travels from the Upper Nile millennia ago to the streets of San Francisco in our modern age. Steven Lupul is a graduate of Yale's fine arts program. He barely knew his father, a distant memory last remembered when his uncle brought him to America from Romania. Memories have a way of coming back to haunt us. Some of them linger in the darkest caverns of our forgotten past, deep in the mind where they wait. Waiting for the trigger that brings them forth, the one moment when they may save us. Or destroy us completely. It is said that race memory resides in the blood.
