Paranormal | Fiction Family Life

" READER, I BURIED HIM . "

A timeless tale of love, devotion . . . and the undead.

Jane Slayre, our plucky demon-slaying heroine, a courageous orphan who spurns the detestable vampyre kin who raised her, sets out on the advice of her ghostly uncle to hone her skills as the fearless slayer she's meant to be.

When she takes a job as a governess at a country estate, she falls head-over-heels for her new master, Mr. Rochester, only to discover he's hiding a violent werewolf in the attic—in the form of his first wife.

Can a menagerie of bloodthirsty, flesh-eating, savage creatures-of-the-night keep a swashbuckling nineteenth-century lady from the gentleman she intends to marry?

Vampyres, zombies, and werewolves transform Charlotte BrontË's unforgettable masterpiece into an eerie paranormal adventure that will delight and terrify.

Re: Jane Slayre

Thanks for welcoming me to Fresh Fiction! What are some of your favorite
holiday books?
(Sherri Erwin 11:32am December 5, 2010)

You've listed some of my favorites, too! I'm always looking
for new ones, though.
(Margay Roberge 11:38am December 5, 2010)

No holiday books are coming to mind right now but The Little Princess, Naughty or Nice and The Stupidest Angel all sound very intriguing. I like that the Little Princess is named Sara, for two reasons. One, that the name Sara means princess and two, it's my name, as well and it's even spelt the same way (with no "h"!) :)

I used to name my favorite baby dolls Sara. Always loved the name.

an illustrated copy of 'the night before Christmans'. But now I'm going to find a copy of 'The Stupidist Angel" to read!

Some of my childhood's favorite things are getting dressed up on Christmas Eve to welcome friends and family who visited. I also loved my Mom's special cookies that she made only at Christmas. Such a warm, happy and exciting time!
(Connie Fischer 3:51pm December 5, 2010)

My favorite thing was always decorating the tree, and saving the star on top for last.
(Pamela Stewart 4:00pm December 5, 2010)

Pamela, we always had an angel on top, but yes, trimming the tree is still one of
my favorite holiday activities. And cookies on Christmas Eve, like Connie.

Pilssbury Best of the Bake-Off Cookies and Bars is the cookbook I've used the most for the holidays. The most requested recipe is for Rocky Road Fudge Bars from there along with Butterballs. Another book that was read by Mrs. Claus to my kids was Prancer. Other favorites include the classic Little Women, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Polar Express, The Nutcracker. I like this trio of books by Jan Brett: The Wild Christmas Reindeer, The Mitten, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Carl's Christmas (has a black dog in it) by Alexander Day. I Spy Christmas which is a lap book along with The Jolly Christmas Postman (has envelopes to open and letters to share).

Oops, I misspelled Pillsbury.
(Alyson Widen 4:26pm December 5, 2010)

I enjoyed reading your book list. Thanks for sharing. I love the books "The Christmas Box" by Richard Paul Evans, and "Winter's Gift" by Jane Monroe Donovan.
(Robin McKay 4:28pm December 5, 2010)

Trimming the tree is a favorite for me. I'm looking forward to it this year, we haven't put it up yet. No favorite books in mind, the ones you listed sounded like great reads!
(Brenda Rupp 4:38pm December 5, 2010)

Alyson, I have the Pillsbury one, too. Lots of great recipe ideas in that, but I will
give the Rocky Road Fudge Bars a try. I also love Little women.
(Sherri Erwin 4:47pm December 5, 2010)

Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is read in our family every Christmas. Wonderful classic.
(Mary Preston 4:56pm December 5, 2010)

Hans Brinker and the silver skates, I love haveing my mom read it to me and then when I was older I read it until the cove fell off and it is still one of my fav's
(Vickie Hightower 4:59pm December 5, 2010)

It was a trip down memory lane looking at your book list. The only Christmas book that I had a chance to read was The Christmas Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini. I've read every book in her series, because I'm an avid knitter and crocheter, along with other crafts. I hope to get into quilts someday soon, and love her books. It's hard to read during the holidays, because I'm busy baking, decorating, and of course, knitting. lol I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!
(Peggy Roberson 10:42pm December 5, 2010)

I really want to learn to knit. I will be baking and decorating, too, but I'm always
reading.
(Sherri Erwin 12:15pm December 7, 2010)

I love your list of different books. My favorite is the Christmas Carol. Always love to read that Christmas. I just finished The Mischief of the Mistletoe. What a wonderful fast read that was. There are so many great Christmas books out there.
