You Suck
A chill is in the air, a nip in the night, and Halloween in approaching. This is the holiday that
Vamprowler, our regular reader, loves the best. The photo above is marvelously creepy and fun, and she's got others on her site, Memoirs of a Halloween Addict." Thanks for keeping the spirit of Halloween alive all year, Miss Prowler.
Christopher Moore's written a follow-up to his marvelous San Francisco vampire book,
Bloodsucking Fiends, and it's called You Suck. Harper Collins is releasing it next year, but you can read the

I'll be reading something (I haven't decided what yet) at
LitQuake on Sunday at the Koret Auditorium in the San Francisco Library, 1:00 p.m. I'm in the "Fiction that Resonates: A Sense of Character" section -- but the thing is, when you write in first-person, everyone assumes you're writing autobiographically, which is why I dislike reading from my book.
Hello? It has vampires in it, people. My mother told me, "I thought that was funny when you killed the rats."
I said, "I have never killed a rat.
I would run screaming. Milagro killed that rats."
She said, "Yes, that part."
I give up.
