I LEVEL & ROLE hope this book and eventual body of work goes some way to satisfying your thirst for bloodsuckers. This first book deals almost exclusively Monster Level and Role Page with the heroic tier (Levels 1-11). Later Vampire Bestiary books will HEROIC TIER cover a similar level spread but tackle higher levels. LEVEL 1 Cannibal Sniper 1 Artillery 12 WHY VAMPIRES? Firefly Adze Swarm 1 Controller 42 Short answer, two words; Hammer Horror. In my formative years I Jenglot 1 Soldier 28 had an immense fondness for horror movies. In particular, the offer- LEVEL 2 ings from the legendary Hammer studios which were (and still are) Cannibal Headhunter 2 Skirmisher 13 being rerun on television with relatively satisfying frequency here.

So in many ways LEVEL 3 this book is me revisiting the roots of my childhood. Cannibal Witchdoctor 3 Elite Controller (Leader) 15 Chon-chon 3 Controller 30 VAMPIRE MYTHOLOGY Pey 3 Elite Lurker 34 This book contains quite a number of obscure vampire types, Cannibal Crazy 3 Minion Skirmisher 10 and while these were certainly inspired by the myths and legends Cannibal Impaler 3 Soldier 14 surrounding vampires, they are not shackles to be held to. Nor is Wizard Wight 3 Soldier 48 this collective work to be considered any sort of encyclopedia on the LEVEL 4 subject, although I have tried to make it as in-depth a study of the Yara-Ma-Yha-Who 4 Brute 31 subject material as possible. Piranha Swarm 4 Brute 16 Cannibal Chief 4 Elite Brute (Leader) 17 NON-VAMPIRES Dire Crocodile (In Water) 4 Solo Lurker 21 / INTRODUCTION LEVEL & ROLE MONSTERS BY Jaguar 4 Skirmisher 19 You may have noticed that not all the entries in this book are Dire Crocodile (On Land) 4 Solo Soldier 21 vampires, in fact many are not even undead. The reason for this is LEVEL 5 simply that variety is the spice of life, even unlife. While a good few Bone Wight 5 Brute 48 of the entries may seem wholly unconnected to vampires, their inclu- Cannibal Deathwalker 5 Minion Brute 11 sion was inspired by some link, tenuous or otherwise, to one form of Cannibal Spirit Chief 5 Elite Lurker (Leader) 18 vampire or another. Impundulu 5 Skirmisher 32 For instance, the cannibals were included because the wendigo is Bullet Ant Swarm 5 Soldier 14 reminiscent of an undead King Kong. Further research into cannibals LEVEL 6 and primitive tribes in general uncovered many vampire monsters Rabid Cannibal 6 Brute 16 associated with witchdoctors. Lightning Bug Adze Swarm 6 Controller 44 Another Vampire Bestiary installment features the vampiric dakini Asambosam 6 Lurker 33 from Indian mythology, which inspired me to include their mistress Fire Wendigo 6 Elite Lurker 43 Kali, goddess of murder which in turn led to the inclusion of her Obayifo 6 Elite Skirmisher 41 Thuggee cult. Mountain Wendigo Abomination 6 Solo Skirmisher 44 LEVEL 7 EPIC TIER? Marsh Wight 7 Controller 49 While Eternity Publishing is known for its epic and immortal level Pey 7 Lurker 34 products I wanted to get a better feel for 4th Edition by starting at the LEVEL 8 lower levels and working my way up. Of course I didn’t expect things Uktena 8 Solo Controller 36 to take this long to complete, my apologies for that. Suffice to say that Strix Swarm 8 Skirmisher 35 I’ll get back to Epic and beyond as soon as possible. LEVEL 9 Soul Eater 9 Lurker 40 ...AND FINALLY LEVEL 10 I hope you enjoy this body of work as much as I have enjoyed both Obayifo 10 Skirmisher 40 researching it and indeed making it.

Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Hexenfurcht in Afrika Annäherungen an ein sperriges Thema THEOLOGISCHE IMPULSE DER MISSIONSAKADEMIE10 Vorwort Für viele Menschen in – und aus – Afrika sind Hexenvorstellungen selbstver- ständlich. Nach dem im sub-saharischen verbreiteten Weltwissen gilt weithin: Das menschliche Leben ist eingebettet in eine spirituelle Welt, die sich als freundlich oder feindlich erweist. Sie wird beeinflusst durch Riten und Gebete, damit – das je eigene – Leben gelingen kann. Hexerei wird bekämpft, und Geister werden ausgetrieben, um Menschen vor Unheil und Krankheit zu schützen und sie aus den Klauen feindlicher Mächte zu retten. In der kirchlichen Partnerschaftsarbeit sorgen konträre Weltbilder und disparate Erfahrungen von Wirklichkeit für z.T. erhebliche Irritationen. Aufgrund von Migrationsbewegungen sind afrikanische Hexenvorstellungen seit einigen Jahren auch in Europa anzutreffen. Insofern ist die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dieser Problematik entwicklungspolitisch, gesellschaftlich und kirchlich relevant – nicht zuletzt auch als kritische Anfrage an den Westen nach der Existenz des Bösen. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert deutsch- und englischsprachige Beiträge einer Konsultation der Missionsakademie zu „Hexenfurcht in Afrika – exotisch oder aktuell?“ aus dem Jahr 2014.

Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    HOODOO PEOPLE AFURAKANU/AFURAITKAITNUT (AFRICANS) IN NORTH AMERICA AKAN CUSTODIANS OF HOODOO FROM ANCIENT HOODOO/UDUNU LAND (KHANIT/NUBIA) ODWIRAFO KWESI RA NEHEM PTAH AKHAN 1 Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) in North america brought our Hoodoo religion and culture with us in our blood-circles from Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) during the Mmusuo Kese (Great Perversity/Enslavement Era). This is an unbroken tradition which is not only intergenerational, but transcarnational. This means that it was and is informed by the Abosom and our Nananom Nsamanfo, Akan terms for Deities/Divine Spirit-Forces that animate Creation and our Spiritually Cultivated Ancestresses and Ancestors. It is through the Abosom (Deities) that our Ancestral Religious traditions are established. This is true of all Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) wherever we are in the world. When the Abosom first possessed our Ancestresses and Ancestors via ritual and communicated the Divine Order of Creation directly to them, our religious practice was established. When those first Ancestresses and Ancestors preserved what they were taught by the Abosom and transferred that tradition via protocols to their posterity without profanation, our religious practice was/is perpetuated. Our knowledge of Nyamewaa-Nyame Nhyehyee, The Mother and Father Supreme Being’s Order (Divine Order), our role in the Divine Order and the means by which we can ritually incorporate Divine Law and ritually restore Divine Balance to our lives is replenished in every generation as the Abosom and Nananom Nsamanfo continue to communicate with us via spirit-possession and spirit-communication. Ancestral Spirit possession includes communication with our ancient Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestresses and Ancestors up to our recently transitioned Ancestresses and Ancestors of good character.

    August Burns Red: Dynamik Des Modernen Metal

    August Burns Red: Dynamik des modernen Metal Tournee zum achten Album „Phantom Anthem“ Neue Nuancen, mehr Härte, mehr Technik & mehr Emotion Im November/Dezember zehn Deutschland-Shows Ein beeindruckendes Beispiel für das innovative Entwicklungspotenzial harter Musik sind August Burns Red aus Lancaster/Pennsylvania. Sie hoben Metalcore – eine Verbindung von Metal-Riffs mit der Intensität des Hardcore – auf eine neue Ebene. Ihr drittes Album „Constellations“ (2009) schaffte es auch ohne Hitsingle in die Top 30 der Billboard Charts, der 2011 veröffentlichte Nachfolger „Leveler“ stieg bis auf Platz 11 in den USA und erzielte hohe Notierungen in England und Skandinavien. Seit ihrem 2013 erschienen Werk „Rescue & Restore“ gehören August Burns Red in den USA nun endgültig zu den Top-10-Kandidaten, und auch ihr aktuelles achtes Album „Phantom Anthem“, das für die Band viele neue Klang-Nuancen und stilistische Verdichtungen bereit hielt, platzierte sich international hoch in den Charts. Nun kommen August Burns Red zwischen dem 14. November und 16. Dezember für zehn Konzerte nach Deutschland, mit Stationen in München, Karlsruhe, Frankfurt, Bochum, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Schweinfurt, Köln und Saarbrücken. In den letzten Jahren tauchten zahlreiche Bands auf, die die Idee von harter Musik weiterentwickeln. August Burns Red haben sich die Variabilität in Tempo, Lautstärke und Komplexität von ihren Vorbildern abgeschaut und virtuos umgesetzt. Zum einen gelingt es ihnen, den Intellekt des Metalcore mit einem intensiven Gefühl purer Leidenschaft zu verbinden. Zum anderen sorgt ihre Verankerung im christlichen Glauben für Aufrichtigkeit und Authentizität. Hier stehen fünf junge Männer auf der Bühne, die auch wirklich meinen, was sie singen und spielen. Diesen Eindruck vermitteln August Burns Red seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 2003, als sie noch gemeinsam die Schulbank drückten.

    Magic, Explanations, and Evil on the Origins and Design of Witches and Sorcerers

    This is an accepted manuscript. Please cite as: Singh, M. (forthcoming) Magic, explanations, and evil: On the origins and design of witches and sorcerers. Current Anthropology. Magic, explanations, and evil On the origins and design of witches and sorcerers Manvir Singh Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University 13 March 2020 Abstract In nearly every documented society, people believe that some misfortunes are caused by malicious group mates using magic or supernatural powers. Here I report cross-cultural patterns in these beliefs and propose a theory to explain them. Using the newly-created Mystical Harm Survey, I show that several conceptions of malicious mystical practitioners recur around the world, including sorcerers (who use learned spells), possessors of the evil eye (who transmit injury through their stares and words), and witches (who possess superpowers, pose existential threats, and engage in morally abhorrent acts). I argue that these beliefs develop from three cultural selective processes: a selection for intuitive magic, a selection for plausible explanations of impactful misfortune, and a selection for demonizing myths that justify mistreatment. Separately, these selective schemes produce traditions as diverse as shamanism, conspiracy theories, and campaigns against heretics – but around the world, they jointly give rise to the odious and feared witch. I use the tripartite theory to explain the forms of beliefs in mystical harm and outline ten predictions for how shifting conditions should affect those conceptions. Societally-corrosive beliefs can persist when they are intuitively appealing or they serve some believers’ agendas. ON THE ORIGINS AND DESIGN OF WITCHES AND SORCERERS “I fear them more than anything else,” said Don Talayesva1 about witches.

On January 14th, the day of the disastrous earthquake, I was returning from the north side of the island, driving by way of Mount Diabolo, and I arrived at the Ewarton Railway Station about an hour before the starting time of the train that was to carry me back to Kingston. The day was unusually tropical for that season of the year in Jamaica, with a cloudless sky, and what was really strange, at a time when the Trade Winds should have been at their height, not a breath of air was stirring.
