Sam Cabot's Blog - Posts Tagged "jesuits"

The Historian meets The Da Vinci Code and Inferno in the exhilarating supernatural thriller, Blood of the Lamb.

Religion, faith, vampires, and all that jazz.

I want to talk about Blood of the Lamb, about an issue that's come up. So as not to be disingenuous, I'll admit Carlos Dews and I—we who are Sam Cabot—anticipated this pushback. (We knew the job was dangerous when we took it, Fred.)

Blasphemy. Sacrilege. Disrespect, at the very least. Some readers don't see those in Blood of the Lamb.

I believe Sam Cabot has an incredible sense of drama by creating a partnership between a priest and a vampire. I think it brings so much angst and doubt to the story. Each one not sure if they can trust the other. The dynamic between the two increases the suspense of the book.

But some do.

SJ is in China and somehow the Noantri have taken over her blog. Very strange. See it here:

I think the Noantri like how I depicted them in BLOOD OF THE LAMB, or at least like how I tried to set the record straight about them. Their takeover of SJ Rozan's blog (while she is in China) continues . . .

Blood of the Lamb: A Novel of Secrets

The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century, a book published in 1867
The book found via the following link is an 1867 history of the Jesuits in North America during the 17th century. Although filled with the stereotypes European had of Native Americans at the time, the book is a very interesting document of the influence (positive and negative) of the Jesuits on the Native Americans of North America. The multi-volume work is organized chronologically and by nation/region and is essential reading for anyone interested in the Catholic Church and the native peoples of North America. Much of the historical background for SKIN OF THE WOLF involves Native Americans and the Jesuit missions in North America. The full text of the book can be found here.

The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century

BLACK ROBE, a 1991 film, directed by Bruce Beresford, based on the novel by Brian Moore.

From the IMDB description of the film: "In the 17th century a Jesuit priest and a young companion are escorted through the wilderness of Quebec by Algonquin Indians to find a distant mission in the dead of winter."
