Marvelous and dark
Okay, I'm 34 and I bought this for myself. I was a little surprised to see that it is aimed at the 9-12 crowd. I LOVE it though. Finished it quickly and then went through it again to take in all the details. Nice stuff. A little dark for the young'uns though. I ...

The first three Anita Blake novels in one hardcover volume
Many fans of Anita Blake are not happy with the recent direction Laurell K. Hamilton has gone with her novels, but that does not take away from the fact that when she sets her mind to it Hamilton can come up with grand finales for her horror stories that Stephen King ...

Fun and unique - http://ablogofbooks.blogspot.com/
For me this was a fun and unusual (but in a good way) mystery. The book slowly reveals the characters secrets while still progressing to figure out who is causing all the chaos. The view of Hollywood is something that will attract anyone who likes to find out what ...

No Dominion: A Novel

Smart, sharp and gritty fun.
Most vampire novels suck. They are usually pretentious, boring, and just writing one typically exposes a lack of genuine creativity. Most of them are Anne Rice knockoffs and Anne Rice has only written one decent vampire novel (actually one decent novel) in 30-odd ...

The Vampyre: And Other Tales of the Macabre (Oxford World's Classics)

Sink your fangs into this one!
Out of these 14 stories, I thought 6 were excellent, 5 were quite good. 2 did nothing for me. A couple of caveats. These stories were written in the early 19th century. Atmosphere counted for a lot. If you've read a lot of modern horror stories, and especially ...

There they met Mary Godwin (later Shelley) and her lover Percy Shelley and decided to while away a wet summer by writing ghost stories.

A Halloween Review - 5 skeletons
VERSE OF THE VAMPYRE (Diana Killian; Pocket). I loved HIGH RHYMES AND MISDEMEANORS, so I expected Killian's new book to live up to the standard of her first volume in the Poetic Death Mysteries. It did not; it exceeded it. The writing is both lovely and lively, the ...

A FASCINATING ACCOUNT
this is a detailed, well written and well researched work, which is admirable in its attempts not to rely upon the more draculaesque aspects of vampyre mythology. undoubtedly, the most valuable book i have ever come across on the topic.
