Story
2nd Revised Edition, newly illustrated by Lamia Culta, Julian Zurc, Dizmah, and Emerson Cotillo Saenz. Akhkharu has been revised and edited by Paul Nunez of Manus Sinistra Publishing. AKHKHARU - Vampyre Magick is a truly grimoire of forbidden, guiding and inspiring the aspirant towards the heretical and considerably ‘secretive’ initiatory rites formulated from the Black Order of the Dragon, beginning in the mid-1990’s.

Disappointing & Contradictory—A Masterclass in Empty Gatekeeping
Reviewed: 02-04-25
If you're looking for an actual magickal system, historical insight, or practical application—this is not the book for you. Vampyre Magick presents itself as a structured practice, yet the author seems more invested in obscuring knowledge than actually teaching it.
The book is riddled with contradictions: it claims to offer a path but refuses to guide; it suggests an order of practitioners but discourages connection; it demands commitment while providing nothing of substance in return. Instead of usable techniques or foundational wisdom, you're given vague philosophical ramblings and arbitrary restrictions that lead nowhere.
Ford’s approach reeks of unnecessary dogma, built on an "if you know, you know" attitude that’s as pretentious as it is hollow. His refusal to engage as a teacher (while still selling books as if he’s one) is not some grand occult mystery—it’s just lazy. If secrecy and self-importance were magick, this book might actually be useful.
Save your time, money, and mental energy. There are far better resources out there for those serious about exploring the vampyric current without the empty theatrics.

Story
To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?” When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel.

From the second you begin to the moment the book ends, it twists and turns keeping you guessing and needing to know what happens next. Highly recommended. 10/10

Alienation & Empathy
Reviewed: 09-24-24
Enjoyed the performance! The book is a tragi-comedy with a focus on how mundane interactions create the culmination of an entire life and the main character’s awareness of this leaves them alienated from reality. Lots of laughs matched with plenty of relatable moments. Fun and quick listen. Recommend!
