Nothing's Creepier Than Meeting The Black Dog (Hellhound) aka "Black Shuck"

I endured a most horrifying encounter with a hellhound (aka mythological "black dog" or creature of doom) just last night. Mythology says when a vampire or human comes across such a beast -we've only two weeks to live before we're either anihilated or murdered. That certainly causes me to quive inside my Bergdorf Goodman high heeled red shoes.
I've learned about the hellish supernatural black hounds from a variety of sources and every account suggests I should now expect to be ripped apart. I learned from:

My personal encounter -- I had rescued what I thought was a black labrador from a man who was beating it. Yet when I stepped in to intercede (because the dog was whimpering and I took pity) soon as I had secured the attacking man, the hound looked me square in the face. It's eyes glowed yellow and its hellish bad breath smelled so foul the little hairs inside my nostrils singed. It was obvious then, when the beast snarled (a hauntingly frightening reverberating tone unlike anything I had ever heard before) that this beast was no ordinary dog. It had never nursed a canine and was not from this world.
Stories my great-granmother had told me about hellhounds involved the dangerous-dog tracking its prey and howling for 14 days before making its final and fatal attack. I realized my encounter could not be dismissed as mere coincidence and now feel like I've received a serious warning: "beware; for you will be ripped apart." Yet that makes me feel very wary for the thirteen days to come and I don't want to live the next two weeks in fear. RESEARCH: In Scandanavian history the hellhound guards the Underworld and can be summoned by a worker in black magic to collect what the beast believes to be a lost sheep from its own territory. Obviously I'm no sheep - but judging by how the hellhound looked at me, it seems clear, that it doesn't realize that. Also called the "black shuck" the hellhound I met is known world-wide. Yet one of the most recent documented encounters happened in Yorkshire (<- click to read story). I'm still not sure what to do about having met the black dog. I feel haunted now but cannot make real sense of what happened. Was the beast's warning specifically targeting me? Or could the warning have been for the man beating it and I just stepped in at the wrong time? I have no way of knowing the answer. Only time will tell what is to be.

***** 5 star review of Ravena & The Resurrected

What "Ravena & The Resurrected" presents is a variety of completely new adventures that don't just take the main character into Seattle's historic underground, where she hopes to escape her highly motivated enemy, but Ravena also dives deep into the cold waters of Puget Sound. Later, the new lair she joins must enter into the woods, on Mercer Island. That's where the clan of vampires and companion werewolves interact with the local wildlife.

WORDS OF CAUTION: Because this is a vampire and werewolf book, there are some very dark elements. There is also one brief sex scene, coupled with a smattering of romantic yearnings. That means "R&R" is highly inappropriate for children. If you buy this book, I hope you laugh out loud through all the humorous places and really feel like you've escaped into all the creative paranormal aspects presented here.

TOP 5 REASONS WHY R&R IS BEST VAMPIRE NOVEL

* There's a LOT of Seattle in this book (historic & modern)

* Part of Ravena Doomlah's vampire experience is spent in the city's historic ruins, underground.

* Fresh view on what it's like to suddenly become vampire.

* Experience the raw forces of wild vampire nature safely, by living vicariously through the main character.

* Beautifully written, well-researched and imaginative. (Even hilarious in some places.)

* Encourages obsession with vampires! (Guilty pleasures realized.)

* There's a very good reason why vampires of old pursued only one true love - learn why!

OKAY! So That's MORE than five reasons! (This book really goes above and beyond to deliver!)

Text On Back Of R&R (Ravena & The Resurrected)

Unbelieving coworkers are left behind when unlikely heroin (pudgy techno nerd) Ravena Doomlah is bitten by a mysterious pearly-haired vampire. Ravena always KNEW the resurrected existed but wished her maker would have been much more handsome (not nearly as hideous-looking) and she desperately would have preferred he would not have abandoned her, as he did.

Ravena soon learns it's difficult to wake up with fangs only to be very alone. Soon she meets human Assassins, who have been undergoing surgery to more effectively torment, enslave and/or completely destroy her kind. Wondering how she will ever make a living while fleeing her enemies, Ravena learns powerful lessons in self reliance. When she decides to join a lair for protection, she learns how little she has in common with ancient resurrected beings who talk reletnlessly about historic events.

Amazingly creative and placed in a modern setting with accurate geographical details, this book is full of action and includes a smattering of fantastical elements that will stretch every reader's imagination. Fresh and new, this novel is well researched and written to please. With bits of humor splattered throughout, reviewers report it's a "Best Read.'
