My favorite television show growing up was Dark Shadows. I have seen every Christopher Lee Dracula movie, Hammer Films produced. And yes, I even loved the 1972 American blaxploitation horror cult classic, "Blackula" and "Scream Blackula Scream." ~ Idalita Wright Raso "Blood is the seat of the soul." Have you ever had a dream that led you to a remarkable world filled with colorful characters that seemed so real, so vivid, you didn't want to wake up? Well, author Idalita Raso had such a dream. "In 2005 three, angelic-looking, women came to me in a dream and presented me with three unique gifts, one of which was this story: Going back five-hundred fifty years, the main characters of this tale appeared in my dreams over a two-year period, each telling me horrific, detailed accounts of the supernatural events that took place in their lives. The book series is based on my dreams and a raging storm that took place on the planet Saturn on Nov. 9, 2006 that resembled a human eye." Idalita Wright Raso Set in medieval Spain, the Eye of Saturn series is a terror-filled tale about a pair of star-crossed lovers, a bloodthirsty religion, and a powerful curse. While writing the Eye of Saturn series she created a language called Solsatihel—the language of Saturn. “The inspiration for the language came as a result of listening to the 2005 NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft audio recordings of Saturn's intense radio emissions. The recordings had eerie whistling, frightful whooshing, and haunting warbling echoes. My vampire series incorporates the classic Gothic vampire with magick, the occult, and sci-fi—interweaving the genres into one horrifying vampire tale.” ~Idalita Wright Raso
