Pop That Cap

5 Aug

Hi there!

Well, after a fabulous bit of actual socializing– in person!– and a break from all things internet-ish, I feel prepared to jump back in and catch up. Hell, maybe I’ll even get some work done. Gotta have those breaks every now and then, don’t we?

It’s good timing, though. My pal Mina Kelly– who may be familiar to some of you as N.K. Kingston– has just had her first book from Loose Id released: Tease. If you like romance/erotica (this one happens to be m/m, but she can do it all) with a modern fantasy twist, it doesn’t get better than this. Seriously. Check it out.

And in other things I’m trying to sell, vampires!

Ah, I heard that groan. But don’t worry, it’s almost over. I decided to talk about the Vampire Awareness Month movies from the point of view of two vampire characters because, well, I promise it’s more interesting than me saying the same crap every human always says about them, but with a thumbs up or thumbs down thrown in.

However, when I saw the list of movies last month, and Mark Deniz was asking for blog entries, I couldn’t resist. There are times when I think 30 Days of Night might be my favorite vampire movie, but I’m always sure it’s the scariest. I went to the theater to see it because it looked crazy cool, and it turned out to be. And then I bought the graphic novel. Ahh, yeah.

So to tempt you to click through to my newly-posted 30 Days of Night review (includes both movie and book comparison!) over at the VAM blog, let me tempt you with this, my favorite panel from the comic. It should give you some indication of the kind of vampires we’re dealing with, here.

30 Days of Night

Irresistible, no?

    Most definitely THE scariest. I got a special edition of the DVD because it came with the graphic novel. Gorgeous in a grim, bloody way.

    Nat, or at least angry. Same thing though– at least for me.

    Cate, that’s an awesome bundle indeed! I scored on the signed 3-book set going on sale at Amazon when I wanted it. Our nerdy joy, it knows no bounds! <3

    I had to watch 30 Days in fast forward. I’m that much of a chicken-sh*t.

    Aaron, it is genuinely horrifying. I can’t say I blame you.

    But mmm I love it!
