Anne Rice Says “One More Book” For Lestat
Fans should be happy to hear that Anne Rice will give Lestat “one more book.” I’ve only read Interview With Vampire and remember trying to read the next book in the series but Anne Rice is just too wordy for me. Supposedly she abandoned her vampires for biblical fiction but she decided to resurrect Lestat for her fans within a “biblical framework” because it’s a story that she needed to tell. It’ll be interesting to see how this last book will unfold.

About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).

Bone Crossed (2009) by Patricia Briggs is the fourth book in the Mercy Thompson series. Werewolves, fae, vampires and other hidden creatures live among humans or so says Mercy, the narrator of this series. By the way, I’ll try not to spoil it for you if you haven’t started this series yet.

Reader’s Corner: HBO’s True Blood (Sookie Stackhouse Series): So What’s the Verdict?
about 1 year ago - 20 comments
I have refrained from watching HBO’s True Blood, the Sookie Stackhouse series that was adapted to television by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) and directly inspired by the novels written by Charlaine Harris because I have not finish reading the series yet. However, my mother and sister are addicted to the show.
As for the TV show,
Neil Gaiman’s ‘Graveyard’ Tells The Story of a Boy Raised By the Dead

I have yet to behold the wonder that is Neil Gaiman. I’ve heard through word of mouth how good he is but I have yet to read any of his books. However, I do own a few. CNN did a interview with the author about his new book, Graveyard, which is inspired by Kipling’s The Jungle Book. Instead of
REVIEW: ‘Club Dead’ by Charlaine Harris

Club Dead (2003) finds Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire boyfriend, Bill Compton, arriving at a crossroads in their relationship. Remembering all that they’ve been through in the previous two books, it comes as no surprise but I am a little disappointed that things dissolved so quickly in their relationship.
Twenty-six year old Sookie Stackhouse lives in a small, rural town,

REVIEW: The Society of S, Susan Hubbard
about 2 years ago - 8 comments
The Society of S by Susan Hubbard reads like a modern day vampire story and a coming of age story with 13 year-old Ariella Montero narrating. Is there such a thing as a literary vampire novel? Ms. Hubbard certainly writes her tale in a scholarly fashion but her vampire tale really doesn’t add anything “new” to a genre saturated with vampire
