Description
Embrace of the Aztec Vampire
A profound and highly entertaining horror adventure and tribute to B-movies of a lost age. Scream Queen Desiree Starr is tired of starring in one low budget horror movie after another, and with each passing film her wardrobe becomes skimpier and skimpier. Zyana, an Aztec queen who has returned from death for vengeance against those who deprived and decimated her long-ago empire, cares not who gets in her way. Horror film cinema personality Desiree returns to Florida to film another horror movie, only to face the perilous ordeal of confronting the Aztec Queen. Mayhem, gore, sex, and an unimaginable assortment of carnage ensues, the likes of which only authors Michael McCarty, Scream Queen herself Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), and Stan Swanson can write into a mind-blowing story that will totally mess you up!
"McCarty, Quigley, Swanson make one helluva good team. Their voices blend seamlessly to form a madcap romp through the B movie horrors we all love so much. Their plotting is as tight as a scream queen's bikini, and their story every bit as titillating." - Joe McKinney, legendary Bram Stoker award winner.
