The Passage was the featured YA book on the Unshelved webcomic this past Friday as well.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Have any of y'all read the three Georgia Evans books set in rural wartime England? A friend recommended them and I was charmed by the first one. Nazi vampires! Pixies! (Those are not spoilers unless you have the magical ability to not read any of the cover text.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
You beat me to it, Raq.
while Blood Oath just sounds goofy.
Yeah, it sounded very...familiar.

I'm not sure if it's that as much as vampire tropes. Like, he goes to AA? That's not new.

Yeah, and the whole "wears a cross so that the pain reminds him" is in Astro City, and probably other places.

We gave The Passage a big interview in our June issue, and everyone I know who's read it is pretty excited about it. (It's actually being marketed as an adult title, though of course there's a huge amount of crossover with the YA market when it comes to vampires.) I'm hoping to read it, and I'm pretty burned out on vampires these days.

I pre-ordered it on my kindle. The review I read compared it to The Stand, and that hooked me right there. I'm a sucker for an epic post-apocalyptic book! And how cool that it showed up on my kindle shortly after midnight last night!

I never knew The Misfits were persona non grata in the Bay Area, for example.
Really? Why?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Short version: Glenn Danzig was a dick and called the audience names, and then the drummer leapt out into the audience and beat the hell out of an unassuming kid.
