Halloween is one of the most fun times of year when it comes to parties and fancy dress. But don’t let just kids have all the fun – adults should be allowed to jump in on the action too, and with so many brilliant opportunities just waiting to be tapped, it’s all to easy to get involved with the festivities. Whether you’ve got a party planned, are visiting a haunted house or simply joining the kids on their trick or treating, the right costume is key. Halloween is all about horror, so the scarier the better – and current trends say that vampires are definitely the way forward when it comes to dressing up to scare. What with films, books and TV shows currently obsessing over the fanged fiends, going wild in vampire fancy dress is bound to get you noticed. Or, if you’d prefer to try something a little different, there’s plenty to choose from. Zombie fancy dress is always a winner and make up is a lot of fun to apply. You can enjoy dragging your feet through the party and even try a tasty brain or two as you make your way through the masses. The spooky season is certainly one of the best for fancy dress, with a massive variety of costume options to tempt and terrify. Any ladies hoping to cast a spell or two can try out some of the more alluring witch costumes out there, with a wealth of options when it comes to spellbinding outfits. Go traditional with the red and white stockings, pointed hat and full green face as you cackle with friends at the haunted house or add a touch of glamour and deny the popular conception that witches are all warts and wickedness by opting for one of the more sensual witch costumes you’ll be able to find. In any case, you’re bound to have a lot of fun cavorting with friends under the silvery light of the moon – or seeing if you can out-scare the neighbours while taking the little ones trick or treating. Halloween is certainly one of the best times of year when it comes to letting out your inner child and having some fun with fancy dress – just make sure that any vampires, witches or werewolves you bump into at the stroke of midnight aren’t more realistic than they ought to be. After all, at the witching hour, all the ghosts and goblins are said to come out and play.

David A. Patrick, a student at Bethlehem High School for three years, finished his first novel in the summer of 2006 and published it the following year in the fall with iUniverse Publishing; he titled it Nero Demare and the Legend of the Vampires.

Patrick’s first horror novel was based largely off his own experiences except for any vampire encounters; however, he did face spiritual attack during the writing of this book. Family issues exploded enormously, ministerial duties swallowed his time, and the book was becoming far more difficult to finish. However, these problems compelled him to complete his writing so that the world could peer into the spiritual realm through the story of a young boy.

Seven-year-old Nero Demare believes in vampires and grows up admiring their mythical slayer, Duke Angtrav. But little does Nero know that he himself carries the bloodline of the vampire slayers.

Throughout his childhood, a mysterious man watches over Nero and saves him from a fleet of the bloodthirsty brethren, who take their orders from King Orthendarh, a master far worse than Dracula ever dreamed of being. Without Nero’s knowledge, this man continues to watch over him, knowing that the world will one day need Nero.

As he grows older, Nero learns that it is his destiny to save the world from the malicious clutches of the vampires. Vampires soon cower in fear at the mere mention of his name. But sinister forces conspire to condemn the entire world to darkness, and only Nero Demare can save mankind from destruction.

Nero Demare and the Legend of the Vampires is a fast-paced story of good versus evil and the battles waged by both sides.

This novel was written predominantly for gothic fans and other avid horror readers but only for young adults due to the graphic violence and mature themes.
