My latest book A Good Man (also available in French as Un homme bien), now in preproduction with Radowski Films, has been released earlier this month. In celebration, I have some fun facts about vampires to share with you!
- Stakes, garlic, sunlight and holy water are not the only ways to kill vampires. Other cultures recommend boiling a vampire in vinegar, pounding a nail through his navel, beheading it, burying it at a crossroads or scattering birdseed on its tomb. Hawthorn branches, rowan trees, fire, peppermint, salt, iron, and running water are also considered dangerous for vampires.
- Almost every country has its own vampire legend. Some even date back thousands of years. One of the best known vampires is Vlad Dracul, also known as Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476). He allegedly killed up to 30,000 people and liked to dip bread into the blood of his victims. Although he was reported dead in 1476, his tomb has remained empty. Some historians believe that Prince Charles is a direct descendant from Vlad Tepes.
- In ancient times, anaemia was often mistaken for a symptom of a vampire attack.
- One of the most popular vampires in children's fiction in recent years is called Bunnicula - a cute little rabbit that lives a happy existence as a vegetarian vampire.
- The romantic and sensual Hollywood vampires differ drastically from folklore vampires. The Ghanan Asasabonsam vampire, for example, has iron teeth and hooks for feet, which they drop from treetops onto unsuspecting victims. Certain regions in the Balkans believe that pumpkins and watermelons would turn into vampires if they were left out longer than 10 days or not consumed by Christmas. A drop of blood on a fruit's skin is a sign that it is about to become a vampire.
- The oldest known vampire legend comes from Sumerian and Babylonian mythology and is about the ekimmu, a spirit or demon who was not buried properly and has returned as a vengeful spirit to suck the life out of the living.

Do you like Dexter and American Psycho? Then chances are you will love A Good Man.
Louis Caron is a good man – he's a vegetarian, feeds the homeless, takes care of animals, and is concerned with the ecological future of the planet. But his altruism has a sinister edge – he's a vampire - and local detective Taglioni is becoming increasingly suspicious. Louis' attempt to escape the police will take him on a journey into his own private hell where he is not only forced to confront his worst fears, but also to destroy the lives of those he cares about most.

ReplyDeleteL'ENFANT NUCLÉAIRE de Daph Nobody:
ReplyDeleteDepuis son plus jeune âge, Jiminy Waterson a un don : un estomac à toute épreuve, capable de dissoudre de ses sucs gastriques particulièrement puissants tout ce qui n’est pas comestible. On veut faire de lui un rat de laboratoire, mais son ami Alex l’encourage à utiliser ce don sous la forme d’un show, et l’entraîne dans une tournée à travers les États-Unis. Ainsi, au détour d’un prêt-à-manger planté au bord d’une route de Virginie, Jiminy devient-il L’Homme au Ventre Magique. Mais quel est donc le rapport avec ce complot politique qui se trame autour d’un détournement de déchets nucléaires ? Ou avec ce prisonnier dans le couloir de la mort, dont on organise secrètement l’évasion ? Ou encore avec ce flic qui n’a plus qu’une seule idée en tête : se débarrasser de sa femme ? Un seul dénominateur commun : la folie humaine…

Pretty much every nation has its own vampire legend. Some even date back millennia. One of the most incredible realized vampires is Vlad Dracul, otherwise called Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476). He purportedly killed up to 30,000 individuals and got a kick out of the chance to dunk bread into the blood of his casualties. Despite the fact that he was accounted for dead in 1476, his burial place has stayed void. A few history specialists accept that Sovereign Charles is an immediate relative from Vlad Tepes.
