<\/p>\nLet\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One Step Beyond: The Official First Season<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \nPromo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n One Step Beyond<\/span> was mainly filmed at M-G-M Studios, Hollywood, and partly at M-G-M British Studios, Borehamwood, Herts. It premiered nine months before The Twilight Zone<\/span>, and was also known as Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond<\/span>. All episodes are directed by John Newland himself, a dab hand whose trademark is subtle, balletic camera work.<\/p>\n This series fed the nation’s growing interest in paranormal suspense in a different way. Rather than creating fictional stories with supernatural twists and turns, this program sought out ‘real’ stories of the supernatural, including ghosts, disappearances, monsters, etc., and re-creating them for each episode. No solutions to these mysteries were ever found, and viewers could only scratch their heads and wonder, "what if it’s real?"<\/p>\n The 22 remastered episodes look and sound great. Wikipedia has a insightful overview<\/a> of this interesting series.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Dawnbreaker<\/span> (Dark Days, Book 3)<\/a> by Jocelynn Drake<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n The dawn brings new terror for the creatures of the night . . .<\/p>\n Those of her race fear Mira for the lethal fire she bends to her will\u2014a power unique among nightwalkers, both a gift . . . and a curse.<\/p>\n The naturi<\/span> despise Mira for what she is\u2014as they prepare the final sacrifice that will destroy the barriers between the worlds. And once the naturi are unchained, blood, chaos, and horror will reign supreme on Earth.<\/p>\n Mira can trust only Danaus, the more-than-mortal vampire slayer, though he is sworn to destroy her kind. And now, as the day approaches when titanic forces will duel under cover of darkness, destiny draws them toward an apocalyptic confrontation at Machu Picchu. But all is not lost, for a wild card has been dealt to them: a rogue enemy princess who can change the balance of power and turn the dread tide. <\/p>\n \n My Dead Body<\/span><\/a> by Charlie Huston<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n NOBODY LIVES FOREVER. NOT EVEN A VAMPYRE.<\/p>\n Just ask Joe Pitt. After exposing the secret source of blood for half of Manhattan\u2019s Vampyres, he\u2019s definitely a dead man walking. He\u2019s been a punching bag and a bullet magnet for every Vampyre Clan in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, not to mention a private eye, an enforcer, an exile, and a vigilante, but now he\u2019s just a target with legs.<\/p>\n For a year he\u2019s sloshed around the subway tunnels and sewers, tapping the veins of the lost, while above ground a Vampyre civil war threatens to drag the Clans into the sunlight once and for all. What\u2019s it gonna take to dig him up? Just the search for a missing girl who\u2019s carrying a baby that just might be the destiny of Vampyre-kind. Not that Joe cares all that much about destiny and such. What he cares about is that his ex-girl Evie wants him to take the gig. What\u2019s the risk? Another turn playing pigeon in a shooting gallery. What\u2019s the reward? Maybe one shot of his own. What\u2019s he aiming for? Nothing much. Just all the evil at the heart of his world.<\/p>\n \n The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks<\/span><\/a> by Max Brooks Art by Ibraim Roberson<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n Those who don\u2019t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.<\/p>\n From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have threatened to engulf the human race. They\u2019re coming. They\u2019re hungry.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t wait for them to come to you!<\/p>\n This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake . . . every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories\u2013complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead.<\/p>\n Organize before they rise!<\/p>\n Scripted by the world\u2019s leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, Recorded Attacks<\/span> reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with\u2013and survived\u2013the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound.
