Story5 out of 5 stars 4
When a man dressed in a long priest’s robe and wearing a black ecclesiastical hat walked into a Catholic church just prior to a funeral service, stuffed garlic into the deceased’s mouth, and pumped a bullet into the corpse, NYPD Homicide Detective Louis Martelli was as puzzled as he’s ever been on a case. No stranger to the macabre, Martelli is even more mystified by Deputy Coroner Michael Antonetti’s findings, which confirm that the deceased, far from having died of respiratory failure and a possible heart attack, was murdered by someone who injected him with a lethal dose of Philippine cobra venom.

Victorian London night: A lamplighter discovers the body of a very old man lying dead in an alley. Scotland Yard calls in the eminent physician Dr. Conan to determine the cause of death. The brilliant and opinionated Conan is often consulted by Scotland Yard. But his sometimes unorthodox solutions frequently have him butting heads with incredulous Yard officials. Despite the man's apparent age, Dr. Conan determines that the victim is no older than 30 and died as the result of rapid aging.

So when the chief of World Security told him that he had been selected as the answer to the solar system's greatest mystery, Jery assumed that it was because of his mental agility. But when he got to Mars to find out why 15 boys had vanished from a spaceship in mid-space, he found out that even his quick mind needed time to pierce the maze of out-of-this-world double-dealing.

Her name is Frances Deegan. She wrote 21 stories and 35 articles under her own name for the science fiction pulps between 1944 and 1952, when few other women were selling to them at all. Yet you won't find her listed in any book about science fiction. In fact, in the years since her death, Frances Deegan has become the forgotten woman of the golden age of pulp science fiction, and none of her stories have ever been reprinted.

Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin (and graveyard as well!), these vampiric sisters are as different as any eight women could be. One, "The Good Lady Ducayne", prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct (but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest).

Simmie Johnson was born the son of a slave. He was also a genius. After earning a PhD in physics from Tuskegee Institute, he wrote a paper outlining a theory for time travel, including plans for a time machine - called a chronocar - which was published in a scientific journal in the early 1900s. Since the technology required to build the chronocar did not yet exist, the paper and its brilliant writer faded into obscurity.

Terrible Narration
- By Robert on 02-06-20
By: Steve Bellinger
Publisher's Summary
A very different vampire story.
Although Agatha Grace is more than 300 years old, it certainly doesn’t mean she can’t adapt and fit into ugly, postindustrial small-town suburbia. Partial to the delights an evening at McDonald’s often serves her, she waits at her favourite dimly lit corner table - for her kind of vampire takeaway.
Being your typical urban vampire, this means her fare isn’t up in bright lights on the menu above the cashiers. However, she usually finds exactly what she is seeking. Her teenage beauty, long, blonde hair, and ice blue eyes are a temptation very few adorable young men can resist.
After a long and predictable vampiric existence, trouble is now afoot for Agatha Grace, however. Redheaded, freckled, and occasionally a little slow on the uptake, young Reggie stumbles into Agatha’s predictability and turns it on its head as he is struck by his first real dose of love at first sight.
Add the overprotective, rhyming ghost of a dead poet, a snarling black wolf, some cops, and Agatha’s preference for the 1980s' fashion of miniskirts, satin halter-neck tops, and knotted white blouses, and things just may go awry, which of course they do.
Along with a couple of untimely and unfortunate deaths and Reggie’s complete misunderstanding of anything going on, the awry becomes a dead certainty.
Enjoy My Take Away Vampire. A very different, tasty little comedy vampire tale, but still with a little bite!

IT'S GOT BITE!
Loved this! Lot of vampire fun & some other creatures that you'll love. Definitely interesting, and a fun read. Loved the writing and also loved the narration, great job all around. Agatha Grace is a 300 year-old vampire that delivers. Take a bit and give it a listen, it's something I think all readers would enjoy :)

This was a quick, fun listen about a vampire, a ghost poet and some others. It's silly, fun and engaging. Persephone Rose did a great job of narrating it and I was quite entertained.

A Vampire, A Dead Poet and a Street Kid
Wow. I'm not even sure how to describe this one. It's not a horror story and it's not a romance although there are elements of both in it. It is a gritty, not very pretty but sometimes very funny story about a vampire who was brought over when she was 15, 16 year old street kid determined to lose his virginity, the denizens of the local grave yard in a small town and late nights at McDonalds. It's also a very well written novella that's definitely worth the time although I doubt you'll be any more able to fit it into one of those nice neat, tidy genre boxes than I was.

My Take Away Vampire
Agatha Grace is a 300 year old vampire. When she was turned it was nothing for a 16 year old to be considered a woman. But in today's world she is not. Things start to change for her, but her maker never stayed around to explain how it all worked. So another creature of the night steps in to help.The graveyard crew is fun and unique. This is a bit of a different take on vampires, the book is very short and the narration is nice.

Going out for a "bite"
You might call this a jaunty little tale. Featuring a very hungry vampire, Agatha, a crusty old vamp, and a want to be vamp. A quick enjoyable listen.
Narrated by Mr. Rose, who is fast becoming one of my favorite narrator's. His voice is rich and expressive. He once again delivers an awesome performance.

My Take Away Vampire
My take away Vampire wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I think it's more a 'teen' book with a "15 year old" vampire. I'm not sure how many 16 year old virgins are out there, (laughing) This was a vampire I have not accustom to. Not bad but not good. I did enjoy the narrator, Persephone Rose.

Ghosts, Vampires Juvenile Delinquents
Agatha is a 300 year old ghost who died at 15 and has a growing need for blood and sex. She sleeps ima cemetery and is friends with a rhyming ghost and hangs out at McDonalds and picks up her current victim.
Reggie is a 16 year juvenile delinquent whose mother is a druggies ineffectual as a parent and no father. and hangs with a gang.
This story took a little while for it to hook me, but half way through I was interested as to how it was going to end.
Relationships, what one wants, needs or desires are focused in this story.
The narrator was my favorite part of the story...the pacing, tone, different voices, emotion and every aspect of the story was raised with the narrator performance!

Teenage Vampires
Different take on vampires with humor and a teenage vampire that haunts McDonalds for victims. Liked the characters of Reggie, Agatha and Mr. Fipps (ghost who sounds like he is from Shakespeare times) only complaint was too short and need more development. Great narration.

A Different Take
Agatha Grace has chosen death over the life planned by her parents. Now a vampire she chooses her victims while sitting in the local McDonalds. She chooses Reggie but his obliviousness is funny and she changes her mind about him being a victim. A different take on vampires. Good Narration.

Fed well, it would seem. It wasn't a dream.
An enjoyable short story, nicely performed by Penelope Rose.
This is a spoof vampire tale of Agatha, a young farmer's daughter, turned on her fifteenth birthday. She haunts MacDonalds, hopefully looking for virile young men to 'embrace', so was usually hungry and desperate. Her only real friend lies in the cemetery plot next to hers, a rhyming ghost.
Penelope Rose's narration adds just the right dash of mystery and humour, and is well paced with good intonation and differentiated character voicings. Fun plot, shame about the verses, and certainly different from usual vampire expectations: definitely worth a read.
