I guess I don’t notice the vampires – but then, I’m not all that turned in, I guess. Go for the zombies instead? or sea monsters.

In reply to Petunia.

Yay! Down with vampires!

(Not a winning battle cry with, you know, the world – all the bookshops have these massive vampire books & films displays. But I feel like all the interest has to die down eventually.)

Hear Hear Sista!
Actually I read Dracula a couple of years ago and found out that Dracula died and all other vampires with him so I feel no procliity to read any other vampire stories. Sorry Stephenie Meyer and the rest of mankind. I’m just not interested.

In reply to litlove. I'm excited for Alias Grace! I liked The Handmaid's Tale a lot, and I'm looking forward to reading more Atwood.

In reply to Anastasia. I love that book actually, but I already own it. :P I can totally see your point and why you wouldn't like it though.

There do seem to be a lot of vampires around, well, a fair amount of the undead in its infinite variety. I would certainly push for Alias Grace, which I loved. Dark and troubling, undoubtedly, but only from very vital, human causes!

In reply to Jenny. I totally forgot there was a movie! Though it's silly, I will probably watch it just for fun--while reading it. Because I decided I ought to read it, since I really enjoyed The Silver Kiss by the same author. Though I did not realize that was the title. I must have been so embarrassed.

In reply to Jenny. I totally just stopped reading a werewolf book with several female werewolves and a somewhat unusual take on werewolves as a whole! I hated it (couldn't even finish reading it), but you might like it! Maybe? Would you like it? I'd be happy to send it to you if you want it. :D

In reply to Thomas. I didn't mean to imply I don't love the RIP IV Challenge, cause I totally do. I've just realized I need to steer clear of the vampire stuff. I'm all about the Gothic novels still, and since everyone on the interwebs loves Wilkie Collins right now, I may be revisiting some of his stuff.

In reply to Schatzi.

I don’t know if the book of Blood & Chocolate is any good. I saw the film and it was completely silly – but that’s no measure of the book, of course. I can’t even remember the plot now. There was chocolate. And werewolves.
