Release of You Suck: A Love Story
One of my favorite writers, NY Times bestseller
Christopher Moore, is launching his new novel,
You Suck: A Love Story next week and kicking off a tour. There's a nice interview with him
here, and if you want to see him speak, check out his tour schedule
here. This sequel to
Bloodsucking Fiends also takes place in San Francisco and features a vampire Jody and her 19-year-old Safeway clerk paramour, Tommy. I'll be taking my copy of this book to be signed when Moore comes to Berkeley next week.
If you're mid-century bungalow isn't inspiring you to write fantastically dark vampire novels, you might consider
buying the castle that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler. The downside: the cost is estimated to be $75 million. The upside: Vlad's torture chambers can be easily converted to a gym, home theater, and wine cellar.
