Long before Edward Cullen and the Twilight phenomenon, there was Angel, Barnabas Collins and Bela Lugosi, and many others in between. They are vampires — the undead. Add an infusion of Bella, Buffy and Carla Laemmle, then sprinkle in unforgettable characters such as Renfield and little Eddie Munster, and you have a capsule of how cinematic vampires are viewed by today’s world. But there were vampires walking this earth long before the invention of movies and television. In this book, author David J. Skal weaves a narrative history of vampirism, from the ancient Aztecs through the writings of Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer. But what makes this book even more unique are the replicas tucked inside sleeves and pockets. There are removable photos of Bram Stoker, Carmilla and Lord Byron. For movie buffs, it has posters from Nosferatu, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave starring Christopher Lee, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula — along with a replica of Stoker’s “Dracula” notes. It also has photographs from Forks, Washington, where the Twilight series is based. Take a walk through the history of the undead, with romance, horror and blood along the way. Foreword by Nina Auerbach, author of Our Vampires, Ourselves. Afterword by Rosemary Guiley, author of Encyclopedia of Vampires, Werewolves and Other Monsters

A Broncos Photographic History - When Boise Junior College fielded its first football team in 1933, no one at that time imagined how the program would grow into a perennial winner, including a national championship at the junior-college level in 1958 and the NCAA Division I-AA title in 1980 — plus an undefeated 2006 season against Division I-A opponents, topped off with a Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma. From first coach Dusty Kline to the Lyle Smith era to current coach Chris Petersen, this book illustrates the long history of Boise State University football. No Broncos fan should be without this photographic “scrapbook.”
“Our winning tradition is summed up in one powerful statement: No other college football program has won a national championship at the junior-college level (1958) and the Division I-AA level (1980), while also winning a BCS bowl game (2007 Fiesta Bowl). That’s the message relating to Bronco football we like to send. It isn’t about one season, one group of players or one coaching staff. It’s a collective tradition that you’ll see and read about in this book. Enjoy!” — Head football coach Chris Petersen
