Of course, bare chest with cape makes me roll my eyes forever all by itself.
As well it should.

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."

t worries that if I sell The Novel, they'll find a way to get Jack bare-chested and be-caped on the cover despite the fact he is invariably capeless, and only shirtless when actually having sex, and sometimes not even then

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The only vampire romance I've read that I enjoyed (I've not read the Christine Feehan books, which I've heard are supposed to be good) was a Harlequin American book called Love Bites. Being a Harlequin, it's a bit thin in parts, but overall a very entertaining book.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
See, that looked way too much like Brad Pitt during his bleached period.
Is it a vampire novel, or is he just randomly naked-with-cape?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
No, it's vampire. Regency vampire.
And I can see the Bradness--he's sort of a BP-JM hybrid.

Thrive to spite them
I checked out a gay vampire romance novel from the library once. I think I posted about it, it was very bad. The cover was fairly tame, one guy standing behind this other guy wearing a leather jacket and no shirt.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."
My second thought was, "Are you sure this isn't the cover of Dude, Where's My Peroxide?"

I've not read the Christine Feehan books
They make me throw books across the room, and that's not like me. I've only read part of a couple of them, since I couldn't get through either one, but I thought they were serious dreck. I see them recc'd all over the place, though, so maybe it's me.

They make me throw books across the room
Speaking of books to throw across the room, does anyone want my paperback copy of Laurell K. Hamilton's "Obsidian Butterfly"? It's the best of the lot, but when I tried to re-read it I couldn't get past how much I want to smack Anita for being a selfish, shallow whiner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is only tangentially literary, but Lawrence Block is writing the introduction to the overheardinnewyork.com book! Fun!!
