And The True Story of the Three Little Pigs is told from the wolf's perspective--he was just trying to borrow a cup of sugar, but they got all hostile.
This book is awesome. So funny.

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."

Is there no Pat the Squid?
I told you about this, right? That when I was little I thought it was a bunny. Named Pat?
'Cause I did.
I heard this on NPR and now I MUST have this book and an audio book with Steve Martin reading would not be remiss either.
A little Halloween topic, just out of curiosity:
Can anyone think of any mainstream-successful female horror writers aside from Anne Rice? (It took me a while to come up with her, because I tend to classify vampire fiction as distinct from horror the way Stephen King and Peter Straub write it, although I'm not sure why.)
I know there must be female horror writers out there, writing the kind of genre books that don't hit the bestseller lists (the same way I write low to midlist romance, and no one know who the hell I am except, like, my mom and my husband), but I can't think of any who have hit it really big. Am I missing people?
Laurell K. Hamilton? Though if she's classified as horror, it might be for unintentional reasons. And that's still vampire fiction.
Yeah, I forgot about her, too. And even there, she's got a big "Vampire Fiction" tag in my head. I don't know why it's different, but I can't seem to shake that classification.

Because you can write about vampires without it being a horror story?
Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy Collins?

Oh. Well, yes!
Never heard of Nancy Collins, Todd. Poppy Z. Brite is a good example, but not as mainstream as I was thinking.
