| First words |
When we were approached about editing this anthology, we were like two kids with a new toy. (A Few Words by Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner) I found the invitation in the mailbox at the end of my driveway. (Dracula Night) On a warm, late summer's night, Donika Ristani sat on a the roof outside her open widow - fat-bellied acoustic guitar in her hands - and searched for the chords that would bring life to the music she knew lay within her. (The Mournful Cry of Owls) If you really want to hear about it, which a lot of people do, being naturally curious, you probably want to know where I was born and what I was like as a kid and how I would up living (in a manner of speaking) under a bridge and all that Catcher in the Rye kind of crap, but I just don't feel like talking about any of that right now, and anyway it's not all that interesting, to tell you the truth. (I Was a Teenage Vampire.) Another life taken. Another year to live. (Twilight) "Hey, Miyagi-San," my apprentice said. (It's My Birthday, Too) When the girl draped in black stepped in to ask if I could help her with a seance, Hal Kemp's version of "Gloomy Sunday" began to murmur sadly from the office radio. (Grave-Robbed) Eighteenth birthdays in Morganville are usually celebrated one of two ways: getting totally wasted with your friends or making a terrifying life-or-death decision about your continued survival. (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life) The idea came to Sophie during Jonathon Deveraux's one hundred fiftieth birthday party. (The Witch and the Wicked) "What do you think of that?" (Blood Wrapped) It hasn't rained for weeks, longer than anyone remembers. (The Wish) Sebastian told me several times that his birthday was cursed. (Fire and Ice and Linguini for Two) "It's three o'clock in the morning, Katherine. Go to sleep." (Vampire Hours) They stared at the tombstone. Or rather, Mark started. Stella glared. (How Stella Got Her Grave Back) | |
