Jace moved away from Aura Springs ten years ago vowing to never again involve himself with vampires. Now he's back in town for what should have been a short family visit. After what he believes is a vampire sighting at his niece's birthday party, he reconnects with his old friend and partner vampire hunter Sarah. It is through her that he meets a young woman, Sophia, from the town of Noxwood. Sophia has come to Aura Springs looking for answers that may be connected to the vampires from his past.

Jace reluctantly agrees to help in hopes that it will help Sophia since they believe it is Dac who has been reaching out to her. Their motivations may be different, and their allyship on thin ice, but their goals are all the same. Save the people they care about. But will they be able to cure Dac at all and if so, will they find him in time?
What is time? How is consciousness related to the physical world? Why is the simulation hypothesis so popular? These are just some of the questions LD Deutsch tackles in her first collection of essays, Time, Myth and Matter.
This book consists of five long essays, including revised and expanded versions of Deutsch's highly esteemed zines published by Sacred Bones Books between 2018-2023, and an exclusive, previously unreleased essay, all of which explore the intersections between techno-scientific thinking and mythological narratives as they relate to life's attempt at self-definition. Known for her ability to render complicated scientific and esoteric subjects accessible to wider audiences, Deutsch deftly traces the relationships between different theories and events in the history of science and technology, and various aspects of mythology, psychology, philosophy, (meta)physics and mysticism--resulting in a riveting inquiry into the nature of the self and the foundations of reality. By treating both science and mythology as serious subjects worthy of respect and rigor, Time, Myth and Matter opens up new avenues of thought and theory as to how the inner world of man and the outer world of Nature intersect and affect each other.
The essays in this book cover:
Time, Myth and Matter covers the theories and ideas of world-renowned philosophers, scientists and psychologists such as Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Carlo Rovelli, Brian Greene, Nick Bostrom, Bernardo Kastrup, Ruth Kastner, Jacques Vallée, Jeffrey Kripal, Hans-Peter Dürr, Albert Einstein, and more.
