We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Jilli, have you read Jon Merz's vampire series? They're not dreadful. They aren't particularly spooky or supernatural, either, sort of vampires with a mafia feel.
Hmm? I haven't read them. I'll try and track them down.

Katerian Bee! I'm finally 2/3 into Red Thunder and really liking it, in all its "hey kids, let's build a rocket and go to Mars," ways. Thanks!
In Her Shoes is as much fun as Bet Me IMHO, complete with friends, jobs, elders & other normal things.
Has Blood Sucking Fiends ever come up? Christopher Moore, so, kind of a Tom Robbinesque comedic take on vampires in San Francisco, complete with hilarious Marina Safeway midnight frozen turkey bowling. Hmm, published in 1996, I wonder if he was the first to write about frozen turkey bowling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw an interesting vampire collection at the used store yesterday, Vampire Sextette (I think). Had stories by Nancy Collins, Tanith Lee, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Brian Stableford and two others.

It's a pretty decent collection. If nothing else, it's worth it for the Kim Newman novella, which does a nice bit of satire on Buffy. The Tanith Lee story is good, the Nancy Collins one is okay (if a bit ... similar to everthing else she's written with that character), and I don't really remember anything about the other authors.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Let's see....
Hec, same edition I have. Of course I adore the cover.
These Old Shades
YES! Leonie and Avon. Have you read Devil's Cub? About their son Dominic, Marquis of Vidal? And as has been pointed out above, the Worths (from Regency Buck) and the Avons (in the person(s) of Dominic's granddaughter, Barbara Alastair Childe) intertwine in An Infamous Army, yet another reason to love it.

Nope. I need to track that one down.

Jilli, I can loan you my copy.
