I'll always love well written stories, no matter the age group(I'll always adore Slaves of the Mastery, all 3 books, because William Nicholson can build a character like nobody's business). It just seems that most vampire stories aren't well written when directed towards young adult. It's all, his teeth glistened with desire, her eyes spoke of infinite fear, his lips were like the gates of heaven, blah blah blah. It get's on one's nerves, after awhile.

Have you seen the movie Nightbreed by Clive? So good, so 80s. You should definitely rent it if you haven't yet, the masks alone are worth the money spent, especially so close to Halloween!

btw nice Brokeback review!

Ahh thank you so much, that's very helpful! Yes, I do like dark books about... creatures. :/ Clive Barker is my favorite artist/aurthor, his stuff is love if you haven't read it yet.

I really liked your review of Twilight! In it you mentioned reading other vampy novels besides Anne Rice, do you remember what any of them are called? Most of the books I come across at Borders or Half Price are generally for tweens, and I'm looking for something meant for an older reader. I tried to read the Historian, but absolutely hated it! Can't seem to get past Pandora. :/ Any recommendations?

Great. I actually found two copies this morning. Send me your mailing address (my e-mail is mail@christophertusa.com) and I'll send you a signed copy.

Thanks,

Noticed you liked Girl Interrupted, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's mental illness and also a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
