I'm not sure if it's that as much as vampire tropes. Like, he goes to AA? That's not new.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

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."

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.

Whoa! That would be a way to become persona non grata.

Hey. New board.
I read "Feed" yesterday (the advantage of waiting in line for Shakespeare in the Park is lots of time for reading) and I find myself agreeing with almost everything P-C wrote earlier. It's awesome. Definitely the best work by Seanan McGuire / Mira Grant. So good, in fact, that I'm almost sad this is the one that will be associated with the pseudonym, rather than the perfectly fun but not nearly as mindblowing Toby Daye books.
