TIDBITS® GOES OVER

NIAGARA FALLS

by Janet Spencer

More than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic ft) of water go over Niagara Falls every minute during peak hours. It has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m). Come with Tidbits as we remember daredevils and fools who have gone over the falls.

• Annie Edson Taylor was the first person ever to go over Niagara in a barrel. A widowed and unemployed schoolteacher, she was 63 years old in 1901 when she pulled off the stunt on her birthday. She was strapped into a harness inside an oak wine barrel padded with cushions.

A bicycle pump was used to increase the air pressure inside the barrel after she climbed in. Then she was towed into the river above the falls. After the plunge, she spent 17 minutes bobbing around before assistants were able to snag the barrel and pull her to shore. Emerging dazed but unhurt, she said, “No one ought ever do that again.” She was incoherent for several days afterwards. Alas, the fame and fortune she was hoping for eluded her – perhaps because she was neither young nor beautiful – and she spent the next 20 years working as a Niagara street vendor, selling photos of herself with her barrel for a penny. She died, destitute and unknown, 20 years later.

on an orange peel on a street and fell. He broke his leg, which later had to be amputated, leading to gangrene, which killed him.

• On the 4th of July in 1928, Mr. Jean Lussier survived the trip not in a barrel but in a 6-foot rubber ball lined with rubber tubes and filled with oxygen.

The tubes had valves that could be released, providing oxygen should he become trapped behind the falls. He was the first person to take the trip in an inflatable device instead of the more traditional wooden barrels or steel drums. After bobbing about at the bottom of the falls for an hour, he was pulled to shore and emerged unharmed in front of an audience of over 100,000. Afterwards he sold small souvenir pieces of the inner tubes for fifty cents each.

When he ran out of authentic pieces, he peddled rubber purchased from a nearby tire store.

• Nathan Boya made the trip in 1961 in a steel sphere covered by six layers of rubber, which he called the “Plunge-o-Sphere.”

He included 13 canisters of oxygen on the advice of Jean Lussier. He emerged unhurt to find the police waiting for him. He was fined $100 – the minimum sentence for violating the Niagara Parks Act – and he

had to pay court costs of $13.

• Karel Soucek became the first Canadian to survive the plunge. In 1984 he went over in a cylindrical barrel with fiberglass moldings, liquid foam insulation, a twoway radio, and a snorkel for breathing. The fall took 3.2 seconds and the force of the fall snapped off his radio antennae, leaving him without communication. He was trapped in dangerous waters for 45 minutes before being

pulled free. He suffered only minor injuries. He was fined $500. Six months later he was re-creating the spectacle at the Houston Astrodome in front of 45,000 spectators. His barrel was lifted to the top of the astrodome by a crane and released above a water tank only ten feet wide and ten feet deep. It hit the edge of the tank and he was killed. He was buried at the Niagara Falls cemetery. Of all the people who have gone over the falls seeking fame and fortune, he came the closest to achieving it. He would have earned a quarter million dollars through public appearance contracts in the year following the feat if he hadn’t died in Houston.

• Dave Munday, a mechanic and skydiving instructor from Ontario, has dared the falls on several occasions. In 1985 a police officer witnessed him enter the water and immediately radioed the Hydro Control Dam upstream.

They cut the water flow of the Niagara River and the water level dropped five feet in three minutes. The barrel got stuck in shallow water a mile above the rim of the falls.

But Dave Munday was persistent. Later that year he tried again, this time launching himself scant yards above the falls, and made the trip successfully in an aluminum barrel equipped with video and radio equipment. In another attempt in 1990, his barrel got stuck on rocks at the very brink of the falls and he had to be rescued by a cable on a crane. In September of 1993 he tried again, this time in a converted diving bell. At age 56, became the first person to go over the falls twice.

• A Rhode Island bartender named Steven Trotter wrapped two plastic pickle barrels in inner tubes and a tarp and went over the falls in 1985. At the age of 22, he became the youngest person ever to make the trip. He was fined over

$5,000 for the stunt, but he more than made up for that with his talk show fees. On the tenth anniversary of the stunt, he returned with a woman named Lori Martin and they became the first co-ed couple to go over together. This time instead of pickle barrels, Trotter used hot water tanks welded together, covered with Kevlar, and equipped with oxygen tanks – a contraption that weighed 900 lbs. and is reputed to have cost some $19,000. The barrel became trapped in a rock crevice at the base of the waterfall. Members of the fire department and the police department were able to reach the barrel and pop the hatch, releasing the two unharmed occupants. The barrel remained lodged in place for 9 days before being removed by a crane. Trotter later returned to reclaim the barrel, but he had to pay the costs of the rescue before they handed it over.

• In 1989, Peter DeBernardi and Geoffrey Petkovich, Canadian residents of Niagara Falls, were the first people to go over the falls as a team, face to face in the same tenfoot steel barrel. They had known each other only a couple of months. DeBernardi’s original partner had chickened out and Petkovich took his place. The steel-plated barrel was equipped with oxygen, two-way radio equipment, and two plexiglass windows. It was painted with the slogan, “Don’t put yourself on the edge – Drugs Kill.” The team suffered only minor injuries and refused treatment. Petkovich, who had been drinking, emerged wearing only a necktie and cowboy boots. They were promptly arrested by the Niagara Parks Police and charged with infractions.

She became a dance hall actress but longed for more.

Money was tight and she wanted to buy a home for her aging mother. She decided she needed a big dose of fame to put her on the path to riches. There was only one way to do that: Niagara Falls.

• At that point, going over Niagara Falls in a barrel had not yet been done. However, plenty of people had crossed the waterfall on tightropes or swum the rapids below the falls. A barrel maker named Carlisle Graham rocketed to fame by building his own barrel in which he successfully negotiated the rapids below the falls. The stunt resulted in so much publicity that he repeated the feat four more times. He nearly died on his fifth trip on July 14, 1901, when the barrel got caught in the whirlpool downstream from the falls. By the time he made it to shore, he was half dead from suffocation.

• By now, negotiating the rapids in a barrel had become passé, and Carlisle needed something better to regain the spotlight. His opportunity arose when Maud Willard approached him, saying she wanted to be the first woman to float the rapids of Niagara using one of Carlisle’s barrels.

Carlisle decided that to get his share of the publicity, he would seal Maud in the barrel, and after it had negotiated the rapids, he would jump in the river and swim alongside it all the way to Lewiston, several miles downstream.

• They chose the date September 7, 1901 for two reasons.

First, the Pan-American Exposition being held nearby in Buffalo, New York, was bringing record numbers of tourists to Niagara. Second, President William McKinley was scheduled to visit the Expo on that day, guaranteeing record crowds. Carlisle arranged for movie cameras to film the entire stunt.

• When September 7th arrived, things started to go wrong.

First, Leon Czolgosz assassinated President McKinley that day, which drew attention away from Maud and Carlisle’s stunt. Second, Maud decided her pet dog, a fox terrier, would ride along with her in the barrel. Little did she realize that this would turn out to be a fatal mistake.

• Still, things proceeded as planned.

Maud crawled into the barrel. With her dog in her lap, the barrel was sealed, except for a single hole through which she could get fresh air. A boat towed it into the river. A film crew was positioned to capture the event on film.

• But then the barrel got caught in the grip of the giant whirlpool. Carlisle waited for the whirlpool to release the barrel from its grip so that he could join it in the water and proceed downstream to Lewiston as planned.

When an hour went by with the barrel still floating helplessly, and with dusk quickly approaching, Carlisle decided to go ahead with his swim without Maud and her barrel. The film crew followed him downriver.

• Hours later, Carlisle triumphantly climbed out of the Niagara River at

Lewiston. When he returned to the whirlpool to check on Maud’s progress, he was dismayed to find the barrel still trapped in the current. It was 9:30pm by the time the barrel came close enough to shore to be hauled out of the water.

By then, Maud and her little dog had been in the water for more than five hours.

• When the lid was removed, Maud’s dog jumped out unhurt. However, Maud Willard was not so lucky. All efforts to revive her were in vain. The barrel had only one air hole. It was believed that her pet dog stuck his nose out the hole, depriving her of oxygen and contributing to her death by suffocation. Maud’s mother died of the shock a few days later, and they were buried side by side.

HUMAN HAILSTONES Hailstones form when ice crystals in a thunderhead are tossed around, gathering successive coats of ice. The average size of a hailstone is 1/4 inch in diameter. But consider the plight of these few unfortunate people, who became human hailstones.

• Gliding in engineless planes is a popular sport in Europe, with pilots holding exhibitions and contests to set records for time aloft and height. In Germany in 1930, a glider society held an exhibition. Five glider pilots flew into a towering thunderhead in an effort to set a new altitude record by using the updrafts. The updrafts were more than they had counted on— all the gliders were torn to pieces by the violent winds. The pilots bailed out, but were caught in the strong updrafts and carried to the upper regions of the cloud, where they were coated by ice. All but one froze to death before finally falling to the ground.

• In 1959, a military pilot named Lt. Col. William Rankin bailed out of his single engine plane when the

engines failed at 47,000 feet above Virginia. A storm was in progress at the time, and he fell right through the middle of it. It normally would take a man 13 minutes to fall 47,000 feet, but Col. Rankin got caught in the updrafts and came to earth 45 minutes later. The temperature was 70 below zero and as Rankin tumbled about he was covered with ice and sleet, his body bruised by hailstones.

Fortunately, his parachute opened at 10,000 feet and he landed intact in a tree in North Carolina, 65 miles away from where he’d bailed out. A passing motorist took him to the hospital, where he was found to be suffering from frostbite and shock. He made a complete recovery.

• In 1975, a sky diver named Mike Mount bailed out of a plane 4,500 feet over the state of Maryland. He expected a standard two-minute fall to earth. Although thunderstorms were building, Mount, who had over 400 jumps under his belt, was confident he could steer himself through a hole in the clouds. He opened his chute at 2,000 feet and was promptly sucked into the storm and pulled up by the updrafts. Soon he’d been carried to 10,000 feet and his parachute collapsed and re-opened over and over as the storm swept him up and dropped him again and again. He debated whether to cut himself free of his effectively.

High-Fat Diet Boosts Brain Proteins Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease A high-fat, high-glycemic-index diet increases the concentration of proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study published by the American Medical Association. Researchers at the University of Washington assigned 47 older adults, some of whom already had mild cognitive impairment, to either a high-fat, high-GI diet or a low-fat, low-GI diet. Within four weeks, the high-fat diet increased the production of lipid-depleted Aβ, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s risk.

The low-fat diet had the opposite effect. An accompanying commentary in the journal supports the finding that dietary choices can affect brain chemistry quickly and

main chute and freefall through the storm, relying on his reserve chute to save him. But he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to tell when to deploy his reserve chute. Finally the storm released its grip and he landed, nine miles away from his intended drop zone. Instead of the anticipated two minutes, his ride had lasted an estimated 30 minutes.

• German paragliding champion Ewa Wisnierska was training for a competition in Australia in 2007 when she and her kite were sucked into a storm. In a span of 15 minutes, she was lifted to an altitude of 32,612 feet, which is higher than Mount Everest, and near the cruising altitude of a jumbo jet. Battered by hailstones the size of oranges, she lost consciousness for 45 minutes while ground teams tracked her using GPS equipment.

As the temperature dropped to 40 degrees below zero, she rose and fell within the thundercloud. She regained consciousness at about four miles high and radioed her ground crew to say she was on her way down. She and landed safely, still attached to her glider, but had ice in her lightweight flying suit and frostbite on her face. She landed 40 miles off her launch site. A Chinese contestant sucked into the same storm died.

Red Meat Increases Diabetes Risk

Pan A, Sun Q, Berstein AM, Manson JE, Willett WC, Hu FB. Changes in red meat consumption and subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. JAMA Intern Med. Published ahead of print June 17, 2013.

People who increase their red meat intake gain weight and increase their risk for diabetes, according to a new study published by the American Medical Association.

Researchers analyzed the data of 149,143 participants from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, the Nurses’ Health Study, and the Nurses’ Health Study II and found that an increase of more than half of a serving of red meat per day increased the risk for type 2 diabetes by 48 percent. Decreasing red meat intake resulted in weight loss

Losing Weight Improves Memory Weight loss among 20 overweight, postmenopausal women resulted in better memory skills, according to findings presented last weekend at The Endocrine Society’s annual meeting. After a six-month diet plan that resulted in an average of 6.4 pounds of weight loss, participants demonstrated improvements in memory performance and brain activity, compared with measurements taken prior to weight loss, suggesting memory loss may not be permanent but rather reversible with dietary changes.

HOLLYWOOD -- “The Impossible” Oscar-nominee Naomi Watts stars as “Diana” in the film about Princess Diana’s last two years. After Prince Charles, Diana dated Dodi Fayed, who died in the fatal car crash with her and who’ll be played by British actor Naveen Andrews. He is best known for “The English Patient” (1996), the TV series “The Ten Commandments” (2006), 114 episodes of “Lost” and the first seven episodes of the upcoming SYFI 12 episode series, “Sinbad.”

Andrews also is in the reboot of “The Black Lagoon” (as in “The Creature From the Black Lagoon”), originally to be produced by Guillermo Del Toro and written by Del Toro and Clint Eastwood. Eli Roth was set to direct, and Eastwood, an uncredited lab technician in the 1955 “Revenge of the Creature,” also was to star. Also cast were Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Josh Brolin, Michael Biehn and Julia Adams, of the original “Creature” films.

Apparently, he couldn’t handle the constant press attention surrounding her. Khan will be played by Canadian actor Cas Anvar, seen in small roles in “Argo,” “Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen” (2009), and as Haakim Habib on “NCIS.”

Princess Diana called Hasnat Khan “the love of my life”

Meanwhile, producers of the Korean sci-fi thriller “Snow Piercer” have loaded their cast with top-name actors to ensure success: Chris Evans (“Captain America”), Jamie Bell (“Jumper” and “The Adventures of TinTin”), Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton”), two-time Oscar nominee John Hurt, 2011 Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (“The Help”) and four-time Oscar nominee Ed

Harris. The $39 million film is now in the capable hands of Harvey Weinstein.

“Diana,” “Snow Piercer,” “Foxcatcher” (which stars Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Vanessa Redgrave and Anthony Michael Hall), and the Spike Jonze film “Her” (starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams and Rooney Mara) were supposed to premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but despite their great casts were dropped from the Fest. *** Look out Meryl, Amy Adams is nipping at your heels. The 38-year-old beauty (who only lasted three weeks working at Hooters) turned to acting and has made 35 films since 1999, She’s been Oscar nominated four times, for “June Bug” (2005), “Doubt” (2008), “The Fighter” (2010) and “The Master” (2012). In addition to “Her,” she’s filmed “American Hustle” (due out Christmas Day), with “The Fighter” co-star Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner and Louis C.K., and “Lullaby,” with Garrett Hedland and Terrance Howard. Hooters’ loss was Oscar’s gain!

Puppies are the most vulnerable to one form of parvovirus that attacks their heart muscles, which can kill them. So vaccinating puppies that are between 6 weeks and 6 months old is critically important.

Adult dogs tend to suffer from the more common intestinal form of parvo: They’ll experience lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss. It quickly can cause severe dehydration, so you must get a sick dog to the veterinarian right away.

The virus is transmitted through direct contact with infected dogs, or through eating infected stool -- gross, but it happens.

In addition to vaccinating your dog, keep your yard clear of dog feces and don’t let your dog sniff or eat other dog’s stools.

If you plan to board your dog at a kennel, ask the owner if there are procedures in place to prevent parvo transmission (such as making sure all dogs have their shots before allowing them), and take a tour to make sure the facility is clean and well maintained.

By Samantha Mazzotta

Hardware Store Drops the Ball Q: I get so frustrated going to my local hardware store, because the people there aren’t very helpful. When I need a tool or maybe some replacement parts, I’ll ask a clerk, who just points me toward an aisle, and I have to find it myself. I’ve complained to the manager, but nothing seems to change. What can I do? -- Charlotte in Concord, N.H. A: Well, if you’re really dissatisfied with that particular hardware store, and complaining to the manager didn’t help, your best option is to take your business to another hardware store. You can do one last thing to help them improve their service: Tell the manager why you’re

The giant home-improvement stores, like Home Depot and Lowe’s, got big for a number of reasons. One is the availability and choice of supplies that they can carry. But to stay competitive, they emphasize customer service to their employees. It’s normal for an employee, when asked for help by a customer, to take them to the aisle and specific product that the customer is looking for.

If the store you’re dissatisfied with is one of these major chain home-improvement stores, definitely communicate the problem to store management and their regional office.

Now, I don’t know what repair you’re trying to do, but if it involves replacement parts, bring them to your newly selected hardware store. This will help the employee in that department match the part. If it’s a specific tool you’re looking for, write down the name of the tool or bring in a picture of it. (This is where smartphones are really helpful, because you can search for the tool online, often while in the store ... but I digress.) This will speed up the process considerably.

HOME TIP: Disassembling something for repair, like a

reference guide as you reassemble it.

Come and drink from the Fountain of Youth along with us...

In Our Private Studio where Everyone Feels Welcomed

Gather Round for Artichokes I just ran across French writer Marcel Proust’s wonderful passage from “Remembrance of Things Past” while sorting through dusty textbooks. He dipped a madeleine cookie into his tea, and an entire village with its gardens and people surged up in his memory.

30 yrs old and need to get back in Shape?

40 yrs old and want to be Healthy?

50 yrs old and want to stop the medications?

60 yrs old and want to be active?

Prices start as low as $10 for Training….Take the First and Final Step to achieving your Goal!

Can’t we all relate to his involuntary taste and smell recollection? It happens to me this time of year when the subtle aroma of boiling artichokes wafts through my kitchen.

It’s my childhood summers, and my mom is preparing a favorite vegetable that keeps family lingering around the table.

954 534 7565

One by one we picked off the leaves, dipped them in mayo or melted butter, and the sweet velvety texture of the earthytasting meat slid through our teeth. The anticipation was getting to the heart below the choke -- the best part!

Artichokes are a kid-friendly food for the prep (I was in charge of trimming off the pointy ends of the leaves with scissors), and because it’s just plain fun to eat finger food.

You can cook artichokes easily in the microwave or boiled on the stove, or steam, marinate and finish them on the grill for a delicious appetizer.

619 N. 21 Avenue Hollywood, Fl. 33020

Q: I was glad to read in your column a couple of weeks ago that Eric Winter will be guest starring on “Rizzoli and Isles,” one of my favorite shows. Can you tell me what else he’s up to? -- Pam B., New Orleans

First, to prepare artichokes for cooking, slice off the stems at the base and about 1 inch off of the top. Cut off the points of the leaves with scissors.

Microwave: Arrange two prepared artichokes upside-down in a microwave-safe flat baking dish with 1/2 cup of lightly salted water. Cover. Cook on high for about 8 minutes or until the base is tender enough to pierce with a fork.

Boil: Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water, 1 tablespoon salt and juice from 1 lemon (optional). Bring to a boil, and drop in one to four prepared artichokes right side up. Boil uncovered until the base tests tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Drain upside-down on a cooling rack.

BBQ: Cut and trim several medium-size artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise down through the stem. This will expose the choke or furry part. With a paring knife, dig out the choke. Put them in a steamer and cook until bases are fork tender, about 25 minutes; add more water as needed.

Cool. Marinate with equal parts olive oil, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, about 1/3 cup of each for four artichokes.

(Add grated fresh garlic and salt and pepper, if you wish.)

Refrigerate at least two hours.

Barbecue cut side down about five minutes on each side over medium heat until there is a slight charred look. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide. To find more of her creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday. com and link to the NEW Donna’s Day Facebook fan page.

Her latest book is “Donna Erickson’s Fabulous Funstuff for Families.”

A: The handsome actor, who played the duplicitous FBI agent Craig O’Laughlin on CBS’s “The Mentalist,” has a couple of projects in the pipeline. According to Eric, right now he is having a blast working on the set of “Rizzoli and Isles,” calling Sasha Alexander and Angie Harmon

two of the best ladies in the business.

“I am so happy to be a part of this show,” he told me. “It’s a huge hit on TNT, and it’s such a great cast. I love the dynamic between my character (BT) and Maura. I really hope the fans enjoy it!”

Eric also co-stars with Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe in the PlayStation 3 videogame, “Beyond: Two Souls,” which will be released Oct. 8. For all you nongamers out there, this game is a pretty big deal, with a storyline rivaling a big-screen movie. It will contain extended scenes, bonus scenes and features, and a bunch of other cool stuff for excited “Beyond” fans. *** Q: I read about a year ago that TNT was planning a mobster-type series based on the book “L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City”

by John Buntin. Is that project still happening, or did it get canceled? -- Freddie T., via e-mail A: “Lost Angels” is indeed going full-steam ahead, with a projected debut on TNT later this year. The cast includes Jon Bernthal, Neal McDonough, Milo Ventimiglia, Jeffrey DeMunn, Jeremy Strong, Alexa Davalos, Thomas Jane, Simon Pegg and, recently announced, Edward Burns. The story centers on the true, decades-long battle between the LAPD -- under legendary Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker -- and the West Coast gang, led by mob boss Mickey Cohen. *** Q: Now that “Don’t Trust the B---- in Apt. 23” has been canceled, what are Krysten Ritter’s plans? -- Hailey F., via e-mail A: The hilarious and gorgeous actress is set to reprise her role of Gia Goodman in the “Veronica Mars” movie.

Krysten recently tweeted: “Veronica Mars has a special place in my heart because it was my first big acting job, and it was also one of the loveliest on-set experiences you could ever ask for.” *** Q: We seem to be inundated with reality TV shows, and I just read about one more being added to the list, called “Summer Camp.” What can you tell me about this show?

-- Kevin H., Tallahassee, Fla. A: “Summer Camp” is a new reality competition series from the producers of “Big Brother,” where the cast competes in summer camp-style events to win cold hard cash. The show premieres on the USA network July 11, airing at 8/7c.

aid letters, and asked colleges to adopt a standardized letter. Most colleges didn’t, leaving the original problem: It’s difficult to compare aid packages.

WithAbacus, students can compare their projected financialaid packages from various schools, locate schools that are

Finding the Real Cost of College College Abacus was a winner of part of a $2.5 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for its innovative college-search website. At collegeabacus.com, prospective college students plug in their information one time and the program hunts for the net cost of attending college. There is no charge.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act, passed in 2008, required schools to put a net-price calculator on their websites. But the process of determining the cost of college was still complicated, as the resulting numbers from the calculators haven’t always matched the stated prices on the schools’ websites.

In 2012, the U.S. Department of Education realized that all colleges had their own method of itemizing tuition, books, room and board, fees, grants and loans on their financial-

within their budgets and get a closer estimate of projected costs. Abacus does this by using the actual prices quoted on the school’s site, not what the estimated calculators

come up with. The student enters the information from his existing aid packages into the Abacus Shopping Sheet, and the Abacus machine sorts out the numbers, giving the net price of attending each college.

Net price is defined as estimated cost (price) of attendance -- including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses -minus estimated grant and scholarship aid. The calculators on the Abacus site do not take loans into account.

College Abacus generates estimates for more than 2,500 post-secondary institutions in the United States. If a school isn’t yet in the Abacus database, a popup note will direct you to the link at the school’s site.

Many colleges now are sending electronic award letters, and Abacus is working on a way to automatically plug those numbers in from the email.

If your student hopes to complete college without being burdened for years with college loans, narrow your hunt to no-loan financial-aid colleges. More schools across the country, especially those with wealthy alumni, are putting together financial-aid packages that include money from the school, as opposed to having the student take out loans.

him back to his birthplace in a quest to understand his own past.

“Stoker’s Manuscript”

by Royce Prouty (Putnam, $25.95) Reviewed by Ealish Waddell

As a child, Joseph and his brother were plucked from a cold Transylvanian orphanage to be raised in a Chicago convent. Now Joseph lives a quiet life in America, selling rare books over the Internet and occasionally using his uncanny gifts of observation to authenticate manuscripts for museums or wealthy collectors. When he is asked by

But once there, Joseph finds his tale to be part of a story far older and stranger than he’d ever imagined.

For the mysterious client is not quite human, and he has an malevolent agenda: Hidden in the manuscript are clues to the location of a dangerous secret, and Joseph’s unique ability to decipher those clues is now the only thing that’s keeping him alive. Held captive by vicious creatures of legend, unwillingly drafted into a search for a terrible evil, Joseph must find the courage within himself to face the demons of both past and present in order to avert catastrophe.

Deliberately evoking the aura of its namesake, “Stoker’s Manuscript” is a full-on gothic thriller, with a looping narrative that pulls the reader easily along but never loses the palpable sense of dread that lingers until the final page.

Vampires here are not sexy seducers but terrifying, repulsive predators. Their world is a vivid mingling of modern and medieval, shaped by both the brutal battles of centuries ago and the ravages of civil war barely a generation removed. Yet among all the dark superstitions and cruel realities dwells an abiding reverence for the power of faith and its ability to shine light in the darkness.
