Horrotica Publications Announces Release Of Destiny West's, "Lamia-The Awakening"

Online, November 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - After great anticipation Horrotica Publications (an imprint of Dark Myth Publications) is pleased to announce the public release of their newest book this year: Destiny West's, "Lamia-The Awakening"

Abandoned shortly after birth into the care of an English Holy order, Lamia was a feared and hated child-a Nihilistic heretic who despised authority and convention. Finally rescued by her uncle and benefactor, the Machiavellian Charon, she is introduced into fashionable eighteenth century England.

All seemed well until Lamia was seduced by Charon, and she then became embroiled in a double life of swirling decadence and orgiastic blood rituals; for Lamia was a vampire, the deadly descendant of an ancient family line. Hardened by an underworld of sexual vice, snuff movies, and ritualistic killings, Lamia's darkening world starts to spiral in on itself.

This story offers a no-holds-barred look into the secret, true life of Vampires-how they live, how they love, and how they kill. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, "Lamia-The Awakening" will grab hold of you and not let go until the very last page.

"With her first novel Destiny West has opened a doorway on vampire lore that few readers are aware of, and some may find too disturbing. This is not a rewrite of "Twilight," but a look at vampire lives away from the cinema, where blood, sex, and death tell the story," said Terry D. Scheerer, Chief Operating Officer and Editor in Chief of Dark Myth Production Studios.

Destiny West began writing professionally in the UK in 2000, and since then her work has been published in various anthologies and magazines. Known for her extreme horror writing which leaves nothing unsaid nor a page unturned, West has also been known to write erotica and most of her horror stories contain sexual content and is not for the faint of heart nor a weak stomach.

"Lamia--The Awakening." 212 pages. ISBN: 978-1-105-17319-6 $14.95 plus shipping and handling, and is available at MythMart (www.darkmythproductions.com/mythmart), BarnesandNoble.com Amazon.com, as well as Target.com.
