| ![]() | ![]() Note from Mary Jo [3/10/10] Title: Bram Stoker [And Surprises That Turned Up] Note: Bram Stoker is the author of Dracula that was published in England in 1897
Before I writing a note titled, "Alien Agenda, Part 2," I set out to assemble information about Bram Stoker [1847 - 1912] because he's rumored to have been connected to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Stoker is most known for his book, Dracula, published in London in 1987. The column at left includes the cover of the first edition and a very recent 2009 edition published by a division of HarperCollins.
Surprises During My Research The rumors about Stoker, Tolkien and Lewis are all based on their relationships with people who were known initiates of the Hermetic Order:
A Christian minister named Dr. Scott Johnson, is so upset about Tolkien's and Lewis' connection to the Golden Dawn, he recorded a sermon about these authors and made it available at YouTube.com.
Vampire Stories Have Hijacked Fiction There are so many new vampire titles that Sharon Fulton, a Ph.D. candidate in English literature at Columbia University, wrote "The Vampire Fan(g) Guide" for Open Letters Monthly - an Arts and Literature Review.
HarperCollins is so interested in vampire novels that they recently published a new book from Dacre Stoker, a track and field coach, called, Dracula the Un-Dead [September, 2009]. Dacre is Bram's great grand-nephew and he co-wrote the book with a DVD horror screenwriter named Ian Holt [See: book cover, left].
Thirty Years of Vampire Books and Movies
The four Twilight books were also the biggest selling novels of 2008 on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list. Film adaptations of these best-selling books have also been drawing teens to movie theaters since November, 2001 and will continue to 2011, the same year that a film version [Part 2] of Rowling's last book will be released.
Twilight is a Re-Cycled Roswell [TV Series About Aliens]
A sensitive girl is saved by a supernatural hunk who makes it his mission to protect her at all costs. The two fall in love, but the relationship is complicated by his other-worldly circumstances. In Twilight, the young hunk is a vampire and in Roswell, the hunk is an alien. The two males are both biology lab partners of the female teenagers. I'm not a blogger, so I don't know how common it is for the same copy to appear in separate blogs. Much of Mike Moody's copy appears in a second blog called, "A new Gen of Romantic Hero - Vampires & Aliens."
Desensitization to Aliens and Vampires?

Defenses Against "Supernatural" Beings The perpetrators are based far from Earth and they have invaded many other planets and stars. Broad requests are appropriate. Many more people are needed to say Prayers. Mary Jo
