It's possible the link to that trailer was left in a car for too long.

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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well trolled, Dana. Well trolled indeed.

Theodora Goss liked my comment about European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman in Facebook. Geeble.
Pardon me, I'll be rebuilding my illusion of invisibility for a while.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Woe to the fucking wicked.
so, I just randomly met "Catherine Tinley" who just won the Rita for best short historical and is on her way home from Denver. I thought that might be meaningful to someone here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Atropa, I dunno whether you would like this book or not, but have a look at the blurb: [link]
It has a different (well, new to me) origin story for vampirism. I enjoyed it. It has some British humour, some office humor, some math humor, some IT humor, some horror, some action.
It is book 5 in a series (the others feature adventure/horror hooks other than vampires), but there is enough exposition to make it okay as a stand-alone, I think.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
That looks like something I'll have to check out!
ION, I am ridiculous. I just bought a 1st edition paperback of My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews (with the original keyhole cover). It was under $5 with free shipping! It's the next thing we're reading for the horror paperback podcast I co-host!
Of course, I am now sulking that I can't find a 1st edition keyhole cover paperback of Flowers In the Attic.

Because books.
I had the keyhole cover of Flowers! God, I wore that book and Petals on the Wind into tatters.

I was looking up Valerie Vayle on Amazon to see if her pirate books were there (they are) and I read the reviews. I love the books because the women, while in love with the main guy, aren't afraid to have a dalliance with a guy they like when it seems unlikely they'll see the main guy again. Which apparently offends some readers, one of whom said the heroines have the morals of alley cats. She was also quite upset that the main guy wasn't jealous when he found out about the other guys. Almost as if the main guy understood that the heroine wasn't bound to him and had every right to lead her life the way she wanted. Terrible behavior from a romance novel hero. Oh, and the captivity in the harem--which wasn't nearly as stereotypical as it could have been--would have been much better if the heroine had forced the Sheik to rape her. Silly woman.
