Horror fans and history buffs alike will find much to love in Mark Bradley 's new vampire novel "The Offering." A blood-soaked tale of righteous vengeance, the novel spans the centuries between ancient Maya civilization in El Salvador and contemporary Washington, D.C.  The historically accurate elements of the novel, along with the modern environments, are what set "The Offering" apart from other vampire fiction.

Aaron Paul has been cast to play the lead in DreamWorks Studios action film “Need for Speed.”  Scott Waugh (“Act of Valor”) is attached to direct, and the project has a target production start date for early next year and a theatrical release on February 7, 2014.

Welsh screen icon Richard Burton would have turned 87 on November 10th.  It's hard to imagine that vital, carousing, temperamental soul in mellow old age. Harder still to imagine the world-acclaimed actor as a family man worrying about his daughter's wounded heart, as a thoughtful and voracious reader of all manner of subjects, and as an insecure man with 'self-esteem issues,' who, nonetheless, could paint vividly mocking pictures of several hallowed contemporary thespians whose work he found wanting.  But "The Richard Burton Dairies," soon-to-be published by the Yale University Press, reveal that and much more about the man behind the legend.
