The Creatus Series
Not that I have anything against any of the above entities, but
only a select few of the books and movies with these preternatural sentient beings
get it right.
Titans
They’d take out entire towns and demand sacrifices until a hero
saved the day--usually, the god’s had to equip the champion, or the conqueror
was part god in order to be able to conquer the typically enormous being with
superior strength. Clash of the Titans
Superheroes
The good ones are okay, but what happens when they are
under appreciated, or are just plain vicious. I.e. Superman Two, Megamind.
Zombies
Never understand how they take over the world unless the stories
include airborne infections. I mean, really, haven’t you made your zombie apocalypse
plan? I know my husband has… Get out! Seek water. Heck, we know what to do when
a hurricane is coming. Stock up on batteries, bread, and milk, and seal up the
house. World War Z.
Vampires
Only one vampire movie really got this one right, which leads up
to my excerpt this week. Daybreakers.
Have you seen it? Ugh! Gory, vicious, but it makes sense. In the second
Twilight book, they tried to explain how the vampire elders stopped this from
happening, but I think Daybreakers
got it right. If you have a being that craves humans, has superhuman strength,
and is immortal, face it; we don’t stand a chance.
Excerpt from Creatus
He stopped and
glanced around the darkened park, thinking they should be getting home, but knew he needed to get to the scary part. The detail about his kind that fed the
nightmares.
“We protect our
own no matter what. Until there’s a rogue. As I said, we are mostly peaceful,
but we do have our psychos, as humans do. The only problem is…when one of my
kind is homicidal, they eat their victims.” She shuddered and he rushed to
assure her. “Don’t get me wrong. We don’t crave humans. Humans don’t even smell
like food. Believe me, if my kind really craved humans, the human race would
have been extinct a long time ago.”
The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story...it's a realistic twist of the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe...
Book Three ~ Creatus Eidolon ~ Coming Soon!
I completely agree, Carmen, which is why Creatus restored my love of the paranormal genre. Can't wait to read Creatus Rogue!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Darcia! I hope you'll enjoy it. So far...two of my betas said it was the best yet. Squee! I hope that continues. :)
DeleteI agree to Carmen, I can see Creatus out there among humans more than any of the above mentioned characters, that's how I see them, as characters, Creatus I see as can be real.
ReplyDelete<3 <3 Thank you, Kim! I can't wait for you to read 'Creatus Rogue'. I hope you'll love it! :D
