Burying the Shadow

The decision to give this type of burial for Shadow sparked controversy, as the Cory Aquino administration then refused to allow the remains of former president Marcos to be brought back to the Philippines. Marcos died on September 28, at the age of 72, after spending 3 years in exile in Hawaii.

Several dogs who served in the police or military had also been given tributes in previous years. These stories made other people.

Welcome to my Vampire blog

Storm Constantine here creates a dark and fantastical other world where ancient thoughts and races combine with a humanity that is part 18th century nobility and part druidic lore; where monsters in your dreams are as real as you or i. Pre-dating True Blood, Anne Rice and all the interminable Team Edward style horromances, Constantine sets her story in a wild new fantasy world where blood suckers and lay people live side by side in a mutually beneficial symbiosis. Here the ancient race are sponso Storm Constantine here creates a dark and fantastical other world where ancient thoughts and races combine with a humanity that is part 18th century nobility and part druidic lore; where monsters in your dreams are as real as you or i.

Here the ancient race are sponsored by powerful and wealthy families and create lauded works of immaculate art in return for their regular feeds and occasional sacrifices. Families bask in the reflected glow of these works getting richer and enjoy long lives of indulgence and splendour whilst keeping the dread nature of the 'artisans' a secret. But now, after centuries, something is killing the immortals, and in ways that scare the vampiric caste to their core, forcing some even to the unthinkable: In the petrified woods and forests, trainee healer, soulscaper, Rayojini is plagued by visions she doesn't understand.

Her new guardians in the soulscape are somehow more than the bestial avatar she was expecting. Her quiet life and the turbulent, garish world of the immortals are entwined and set to collide. Burying the Shadow is a dark fantasy and whodunit far more-so than it is horror and Constantine has a coolness and depth that easily shakes off any 'pulp' tag. This is a riveting journey that, although it follows the 'man-on-a-mission' style of many fantasies, also combines enough otherworldliness and genuine innovation to rise above more populist authors in the genre.

Her writing is immaculate, dark and sensual and rich with description and her characters are memorable and unique; it is refreshing to have two strong female leads. The world she builds is new and impressive if not exactly one you'd really want to live in, but genuinely fantastical. All her earlier works create beautifully realised, slightly off-kilter, ethereal worlds to enjoy and the lives of both protagonists here feel strange but real and substantial. This is a wonderful, mature book full of rich details and a thoroughly intricate plot that takes the reader out of themselves.

But please, try not to buy a copy with the red and black headed couple on the cover.

I love Storm Constantine's brilliant use of descriptive writing, the author's ability to draw the reader into this realm of fantasy means that you can almost smell, see and touch a new, yet familiar world.

I have read this book four times and would love to see this as a movie, what a beautifully dark, magical, new and vibrant twist to the Vampire This is one of my all time favourite books.

I have read this book four times and would love to see this as a movie, what a beautifully dark, magical, new and vibrant twist to the Vampire mythology. Although I believe this author's books generally need to be approached with an open mind, this, the first in what I found to be a riveting series, is well worth the read.

Magic, beauty, power, darkness, light, suspense, this book has it all and more. Our perception of taboo's, in regards to a human world are seen as relatively common place and accepted by this society of Vampires. This also has an ending which leaves you thinking you know how this ends but at the same time you're just not quite sure what they truly are. Sep 13, Rhomany rated it it was amazing. This is my favourite of Storm Constantine's books. It's so original and unusual and just when you think you have a handle on what's going to happen next something even more unusual happens.

Nov 06, Emma Valieu rated it it was amazing Shelves: Des vampires dans un monde tolkienien She is a marvelous character, independent and strong yet with a vulnerable side that developes through the prose. The novel is a vampire novel but these vampires are very different, best described as a fallen angel or, perhaps, almost a nephilim. They are artists, as mentioned in the blurb, and they live on ichor read human blood given willingly by the patron families.

In this way Constantine created a form of vampire that was much less the parasite and more a symbiotic being - though one whose nature was only known to an elite. The actual lore we discover is rich but to offer more details, as I would normally, would spoil the book. The novel is richly gothic in style, absolutely beautifully drawn but herein lies the rub. For some it may be too rich but I fell into the seductive velvet prose willingly and was rewarded with a fascinating and very alternate look at the genre. This comes recommended, 8.
