The Tales of Urban Horror series is more than just teens facing vampires, werewolves and other supernatural phenomenon, it’s also a cautionary tale to warn reader of big city dangers. I wrote a scene in Werewolves the Mix Tape in which protagonist, 16 year. Jamilah Jackson meets a man at a party He is charming, a great dancer exposes her to Ecstasy, and plans to sleep with her. She is unaware that he’s HIV positive, un-protective sex with him is equivalent to a death sentence. He knows it, yet, doesn’t care. He contracted it, now he’s going to do to others that which was done to him. The character is described as handsome and desirable, but in his heart he is as much a monster, as any zombie, or ghoul
I don’t know German singer Nadja Benaissa of the band No Angels, but her actions according to news reports fits the description of monstrous

TEDxTalks — May 15, 2010 — Few people would consider the ukulele a serious musical instrument. Until, that is, they hear Jake Shimabukuro play one. Jakes uncommon compositions and playing techniques defy labels and categories, and he lays down jazz, blues, funk, classical, bluegrass, folk, flamenco and rock with equal virtuosity. Occasional tours with Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band have broadened his experience and brought his talent and charming stage presence to crowds of up to fifty thousand people. Jake has also performed on NBCs The Late Show with Conan OBrien, The Today Show, and Last Call With Carson Daly, and been featured on NPRs Morning Edition and World Café, Public Radio Internationals The World, and others. In December 2009, he performed with Bette Midler for Queen Elizabeth during a special fundraising concert in Blackpool, England.
