'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
but it wasn't about vampires.
No red capes or bitey-bitey. But them's vamps.

I don't see it. They were controlling others telepathically, not feeding off them. If there was anything resembling life force stealing, I don't remember it.
YVampMV, of course.
I like Dan Simmons Children of the Night for the sci-fi approach.
Seconded!
the original short (novella?) was really tight and creepy.
Loving JSw and -t right now.
The wireless thing must totally be my fault
Apparently Perkins is only the Nice One when she's IN LA. On vacation? NSM.
I have no idea if this is bad, good, to be expected, or what.
Anne, I've only purchased a home once, but it sounds fairly normal.
Anne, I've only purchased a home once, but it sounds fairly normal.
That's the idea I'm getting. The only thing that worries me is that the buyer (a first time homebuyer) sounds "panicked", according to my realtor. Hopefully we'll be able to smooth everything out and do/pay a bit less than they're asking.
Worst case scenario, I should still come out of this with enough to make the down payment on the house in St. Louis.
Vampires Anonymous is also funny and damn good. The movie is only about half as funny.
YVampMV, of course.
Sure.

From Publishers Weekly
The second novel by World Fantasy Award-winner Simmons ( The Song of Kali ) is a 636-page epic that draws on a variety of genres--horror, science fiction, political thriller, Hollywood roman a clef. It centers around a small number of "mind vampires" who can subjugate other people to their wills, read their minds, experience through their senses. The immensely powerful vampires use others, often bloodily, and often in frivolous "games" (hunting human prey, chess games with human pieces, and so on).
Ah, I knew I was forgetting some. Thanks, guys. I don't recall reading the Dan Simmons, which surprises me. I'm going to have to do some reading and re-reading.
Well, that's what I get for not reading reviews. Those are not my vampires, though.
(Love you too, Nicole)
